| Description of the problem | When putting my car in park the warning "hybrid system warning! Safely stop and do not drive" appears. If i turn the car off and immediately try to restart it will not start. If i turn the car off and wait about 15 minutes it will start with no alerts. This has happened approximately 10 times and i have taken it to the dealership but they are unable to duplicate it and told me there is nothing they can do. The manual says not to drive it after this happens and have it towed to the dealership. I am not sure whether or not to continue driving it since they cannot tell me what could potentialy happen. |
