Consumer Description

THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM JUST CAME ON. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 1 YEAR. ALTHOUGH IT WAS USED, IT HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER IS A CALIFORNIA VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE IT IS A BATTERY ISSUE. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT THE BATTERY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST 2500 DOLLARS. THAT IS RIDICULOUS TO EXPECT WHEN WE JUST BOUGHT IT 1 YEAR AGO!
