Consumer Description

MY CAR HAD THE EXACT ISSUES THAT ARE DOCUMENTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 18V397000 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I GOT A LOW PROPULSION WARNING WHEN THE LITHIUM BATTERY WAS DEPLETED AND SWITCHED TO ENGINE. ENGINE WAS REVVING VERY HIGH AND ALMOST NO ACCELERATION WAS AVAILABLE. I MADE IT HOME AND CAR WOULDN'T RESTART. 12V BATTERY WAS DEAD SO I REPLACED IT BUT STILL COULD NOT START THE CAR.
