Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY GAVE THE SIGNAL "STOP CAR SAFELY NOW." I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND BARELY HAD TIME TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT-HAND SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. NO PREVIOUS SIGNAL (E.G. WRENCH LIGHT OR WARNING TRIANGLE) HAD APPEARED TO GIVE ME ADVANCE WARNING. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE (SEE 2/1/13 COMPLAINT), BUT WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AFTER THAT FIRST OCCURRENCE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS, SO I HAD DRIVEN IT AGAIN. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER SUSTAINED (2 HRS) FREEWAY SPEED (70 MPH) DRIVING. THIS TIME I WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THE HYBRID BATTERY SYSTEM HAD OVERHEATED AND NUMEROUS PARTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. *TR
