I WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. MY VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO 0 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALL THE CHECK ENGINE AND HYBRID LIGHTS WERE ON. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON AND SAFELY DRIVE IT HOME BUT THE ALERT LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE STILL LIT UP AND THE CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM WORDING WAS STILL PRESENT. AFTER BEING LOOKED AT BY MANUFACTURER ENGINEERS AND TESTING THE CODE THEY NOTIFIED ME IT WAS AN ANOMALY AND IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT.

Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
