Started the car and chimes started randomly going off. . . . Then suddenly, while traveling, the abs, lites, hybrid, tire pressure, and air bag lites all came on and the car started jerking as if the brakes were being jammed.
The braking ability varies depending if the battery is being charged or not. The pressure applied to the brake pedal depends on the battery charge and not the pressure on the pedal. Engine fails to engage on a steep slope causing the vehicle to roll backwards. This happens frequently when the engine is cold. The engine will not warm up to operating temperature if the hybrid motor is engaged.
Braking is very unpredictable nearly causes an accident daily. Car switches between regenerative braking/friction brakes constantly and makes it hard to properly slow the car. Very dangerous. Dealer says this is normal.
