CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE UNTIL WE CHANGED A SPARE TIRE FROM THE TRUNK AREA AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN IT TO CRANK IT CAME UP WITH CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM. THE HYBRID BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY A NEW ONE IN MARCH 2015. BUT WE NOTICE AN ORANGE RECEPTACLE LIKE DEVICE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK AREA THAT WE PULLED OUT AND NOT SURE OF ANY EFFECT THAT WOULD HAVE ON THE HYBRID BATTERY IF IT DISCHARGED IT. IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET IT RECHARGED AGAIN BY WHATEVER CODES HAVE TO BE INPUT AND INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO DO THIS SO AS NOT TO BE STRANDED AGAIN. I WAS AT AN AUTO TIRE SHOP PARKED ON HIS LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
