Description of the problem	27 dec 2013: hybrid battery drained without any warning and car could not be accelerated more than 20 miles/hr while driving. Eventually the car stopped on the road.

After towing to the service, the car started as normal; the tech could not duplicate the problem so nothing was done. 16 jan 2014: the same problem happened while driving.
