| Description of the problem | Two months ago i was braking moderately when the car shuttered, there was a bump and the car began coasting. I saw that it had popped into n (neutral) even though i didn't touch the gear shift. I tried to put it back into d (drive) but it wouldn't respond. I pushed the car to the side of the road and tried several times to shut it down. Finally, it responded, then restarted and drove normally. After that, there would be intermittent shuttering and bumping while braking. The recharging lights will pulse and i can feel the regenerative feature grab and then release. One morning recently, along with these symptoms the range plummeted quickly, by about 1 mile per second. After driving only 20 miles i had 17 miles of indicated range. Then, yesterday, the first problem reappeared: the car went into neutral and briefly wouldn't respond. The car is now at the dealer. |
