The ima battery has failed. The ima battery was given a computer "patch" last year to help the ima perform better than it had. The performance after a stop was very poor and the pick up lagging seriously behind the engine. The "patch" did not work, it made matters worse. I am now faced with the large expense of having to replace this battery. Beyond the expense is the safety issue of not having the power to accelerate because the "patch" adjusted the ima system poorly . .
The vehicles battery has failed and the car does not have enough power to safely pull into intersections or incoming traffic. There have been several near misses due to this issue. We are terrified when driving the vehicle.
