Tl* the contact owns a 2019 honda clarity plug-in hybrid. when the vehicle switched from running on the battery to fuel, the vehicle lost power. in addition, the engine ran on very high rpms and the vehicle lost power without warning and came to a complete stop while driving 65 mph. the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. the vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred. the contact stated that the failure recurred twice, but the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100.
The car drives fine when there is sufficient battery. when battery level drops to low (2 bars) the car does not respond to accelerator. the engine becomes sluggish and revs up quite a bit. i have driven ~650 miles so far and this has happened 4 times already. luckily it happened only once in the highway where this would have been dangerous and life threatening.
