What owners wrote
While entering in the highway the car started to decelerate regardless the fact the gas pedal was pushed several times. The car decelerated and then stalled. The car has been rear ended by the car behind. This could have been a much more serious accident and it was a vehicle failure.
My car had the exact issues that are documented in NHTSA campaign number 18v397000 while driving on the freeway, I got a low propulsion warning when the lithium battery was depleted and switched to engine. Engine was revving very high and almost no acceleration was available. I made it home and car wouldn't restart. 12v battery was dead so I replaced it but still could not start the car.
