The traction control light and car with exclamation point were also lit up. …”
NHTSA complaint #11637886, filed 2025-01“When I got in the vehicle after work on 11-22-23, it displayed a “EV System” error alert and “Power Reduced” alert. The vehicle would only accelerate extremely slowly and would only go about 25 MPH. Trying to go up hill to my house it would only go maximum of 10 MPH. I barely made it home. I left it at the dealership the next day (which was a national holiday) and they examined the car on 11-24-23 but could not find anything wrong. I have been told to drive the car and bring it back if the message occurs again. My EV battery seems to be no longer holding a good charge at this time. …”
