#6 of 95 Re: Dead Battery Experience [tomscot2] by hiwayman Sep 07, 2007 (7:48 am)
Replying to: tomscot2 (Sep 06, 2007 2:21 pm) That's a terrible experience, especially after spending a few hours in a cramped plane, and all you want to do is get home. When stepping us through the details of our new car, our sales guy was very specific, and repeated several times that we should NOT let the battery go flat. We asked him why and he just said, "It's a real problem, if you do." Now I know what he was warning us about. Thanks for the detailed explanation of how you resolved the problem. When we inevitably let the batter run flat, now we'll know what to do.   It's interesting that the car would start and then stall. I'm trying to understand the logic of what might have been going on. There are two batteries in the car. One for the hybrid electric drive and a 12-volt to start the motor and run the accessories. The charging systems for the two batteries are linked (but I'm not sure exactly how), so perhaps each time the charging system tried to charge the hybrid battery, there still wasn't enough juice in the 12-volt to support the gas engine and accessories. Just a guess, but who knows what was really going on. These things are COMPLEX!
#7 of 95 The setup is dumb by gripperdon Sep 07, 2007 (7:40 pm)
I left my car on and did not know it. I got out closed the door to the garage and came out a bit later to find the car running. THe HV battery had depleted so the engine started. Nice Garge full of stink and CO. Way to Go to kill a family, STUPID STUPID, How about a ring a ding ding if you try and leave with the car still in ready and open the door on the drivers side. Might save a big recall and a hell of a lawsuit. Hey NISSAN FORWARNED all the lawyers in the world will reference this if you have a problem. You could even have the car turn off if not moved for an 1/2 in neurtal or park! Replies to this message: hiwayman (Sep 16, 2007 7:21 am)
#8 of 95 Dumb window arrangement. by gripperdon Sep 07, 2007 (7:46 pm)
You walk up with your Intellegent key and hold the button on the key and the windows go down.   Problem you can't get the up unless you get in press the brake and start button and use the windown switch oon the door. Stupid again. They should go back up with the lock button on the intellegent keu or at least the window swith with out having to get the car in ON and then use the dooe switches.

Replying to: gripperdon (Sep 07, 2007 7:46 pm) If you use the actual key in the door you can roll the windows up or down depending on which way you turn the key. FYI.
#10 of 95 thanks by gripperdon Sep 10, 2007 (11:06 am)
OK,Thanks, Just like I didn't pay for a dumb intellegent key.
#12 of 95 Dangerous Flaw by gripperdon Sep 12, 2007 (12:27 pm)
You can put your Hybrid in park, Get out, close the door and press the lock buton on the door handle and walk away.   DANGEROUS? YUP the car is still on! No warning Beeps or anything. Do that in your garage and maybe kill the whole house.   I reported this to the NHTSA !!! Replies to this message: emgr (Sep 12, 2007 3:26 pm) palaboy (Sep 12, 2007 6:23 pm)

Replying to: gripperdon (Sep 12, 2007 12:27 pm) Does the Toyota Hybrids operate the same way or is their a warning?
#14 of 95 Wish I knew for certain by gripperdon Sep 12, 2007 (5:58 pm)
Not completely Positive but I think they have a warning! Replies to this message: palaboy (Sep 12, 2007 6:27 pm) gagrice (Sep 12, 2007 6:46 pm) townboy325 (Sep 13, 2007 12:37 am)

Replying to: gripperdon (Sep 12, 2007 12:27 pm) how hard is it for you to push the button off? only dumb people would leave their car without turning it off!
