THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL INDICATOR, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM, AND THE AUDIO SYSTEM ARE MALFUNCTIONING.

EVER SINCE NEW, THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS UNRELIABLE. IF THE HYBRID BATTERY CHARGE IS BELOW 1/2, WHICH IS OFTEN, THE BATTERY ASSIST DOES NOT COME ON WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS HEAVY TRAFFIC WHERE I LIVE AND I HAVE TO ENTER A DIVIDED ROADWAY FROM A SIDE ROAD. I OFTEN FIND MYSELF NEARLY HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM DOESN'T KICK IN. NOW THAT THE CAR IS OLDER, THE PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE. IN THE PAST I COULD PREDICT WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM WAS LIKELY NOT TO PROVIDE THE ACCELERATION ASSIST NEEDED TO SAFELY ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND WAIT FOR A LONGER BREAK IN TRAFFIC. NOW THE CHARGE INDICATOR WILL BE 100% ONE MINUTE AND SHOWING ONLY TWO BARS OUT OF ABOUT 12 THEN NEXT SECOND. I DON'T FEEL I …
