| Description of the problem | At 70 mph on freeway, "stop when safe" message came up, engine stopped, had to coast to a stop on shoulder. Lucky it was 1am so not much traffic. Restarted vehicle, made another 5 miles, happened again. Restarted, made it off freeway, able to get home, keeping under 40mph (assumption was some sort of overheating problem with hybrid systems). Currently in dealership for repair, my internet research indicates there are quite a few others having this issue. Very frightening and dangerous to lose power at freeway speeds and have to make way to the shoulder and stop. |
