Consumer Description

WITHOUT WARNING, THE WARNING LIGHT AND ALARM COME ON. THE GAS ENGINE DIES AND DOES NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. THE ELECTRIC MOTOR IS THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS THE CAR MOBILE. ONCE THE POWER IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON, BOTH THE GAS AND ELECTRIC MOTORS MOVE THE CAR AS NORMAL, BUT THE WARNING PERSISTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTER WERE THE CAUSE. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 5,000 MILES, AND THIS LATEST HAPPENED JUST OVER 10,000.
