In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 1 mo in service
Car lost power - Said to press the brake and start button to start car. Was able to cost to the side of the highway on a mountain overpass. Once I was at the side of the road Service Charging System Error was on and I had no power. The vehicle would not start. After a couple of minutes, the vehicle started. The check engine light is on now.
Electrical system mileage not reported 2 mo in service crash / fire / tow
On a hybrid mode, drive gear at less than 10mph to park the vehicle. No engine warning lights, and no unusual signs. The car suddenly accelerated as I hit the brakes. At the time of the acceleration, the gasoline engine immediately came on and vehicle only came to stop as I stomped on the brakes for the second time, causing property damage.
Electrical system mileage not reported 3 mo in service
I was driving when the car malfunctioned and gave a transmission error. It said to put the car on park and once I did, it said to have the transmission looked at. I was unable to cost to the side of the road, and my vehicle was in the middle of a busy street. The car lost power, and was unable to come back on, even though some parts were lit up. Once road service arrived, they charged the car and the car started and I was able to park it to have it towed.
Other mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The vehicle starts flashing the “D” the vehicle then completely stops. All the lights in the dashboard turn on and it asks to shift to park then the shaft can’t be move. The vehicle turns on, but the shaft can’t be shifted. This has happened to us twice in the middle of a Texas highway and we unfortunately can’t even put it on park to push it out of harms way
