Consumer Description

SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN THE IMA BATTERY UPGRADE THE CAR BATTERY COMPLETELY DISCHARGES RANDOMLY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. WHEN THE BATTERY DISCHARGES THE CAR LOOSES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF ITS ACCELERATION. IT FREQUENTLY LOOSES ALL BARS ON THE BATTERY GAUGE, SIGNIFYING A RECALIBRATION EVENT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT A REASONABLE SPEED SINCE THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS TRYING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING THE CAR. IN ADDITION, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND AVOID ANY SITUATIONS THAT MAY REQUIRE QUICK ACCELERATION WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING OR ELSE YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS SINCE THIS UPGRADE WHERE I HAVE NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
