Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, ONGOING FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. THE FAILURE IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK, THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS, THERE IS NO BRAKE REGENERATION IN THE HYBRID SYSTEM, AND THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK. OVER THE LAST 24 DAYS THERE THE CAR HAS BEEN STARTED 75 TIMES WITH 24 TIMES FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO WORK. I'VE KEPT A LOG SINCE THE LAST DEALER VISIT. THE LAST TIME IN SHOP THEY TESTED/REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AND BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH (SECOND BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IN 2 YEARS). THE DEALER " CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, EVEN WHEN IT IS ACTING UP WHEN I TAKE IT IN. THERE SEEMS TO BE A CORRELATION BETWEEN FAILURE AND LOWER TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY/RAIN. THE PROBLEM IS DRIVING WITHOUT STOP LIGHTS AND NEVER KNOWING WHILE DRIVING IF EVERYTHING IS WORKING. AT SOME POINT I'M GOING TO BE REAR END, HOPEFULLY THE KIDS WILL NOT BE IN THE CAR. *NM
