Consumer Description

THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST SYSTEM FAILS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I HAD PARKED THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND THE BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR WAS NEAR THE TOP. WHEN I DROVE TO TOWN IN THE MORNING AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT ON A HILL, WHEN I ACCELERATED THERE WAS NO MOTOR ASSIST AND THE CAR WAS VERY UNDERPOWERED. THE BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR SHOWED NO CHARGE. IT DOES CHARGE AGAIN TO NORMAL, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS MAY HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN ON A FREEWAY ON RAMP OR TWO LANE ROAD PASSING SITUATION.
