Consumer Description
JUST HAD RECALL WORK COMPLETED INCLUDING SOFTWARE UPDATE. CAR NOW EXHIBITS NEW LIMP MODE BEHAVIOR WITH LOW FUEL. THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. TRIP METER INDICATED MORE THAN 50 MILES REMAINED WITH CURRENT FUEL SUPPLY. FUEL LEVEL WAS AS TWO BARS AND LOW FUEL LIGHT HAD NOT YET COME ON. LIMP MODE OCCURRED AT SPEED ON 4 LANE FREEWAY. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND DASH MESSAGING INDICATED HYBRID SYSTEM FAILURE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED ONLY TO REALIZE IT WAS ALL HAPPENING DUE TO A LOW FUEL LEVEL. I BELIEVE THE SAFETY RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATE HAS INTRODUCED AGREATER RISK TO MY ROADSIDE SAFETY AND HAS MADE THE VEHICLE LESS TRUSTWORTHY AND HAS REDUCED VALUE.
