Typical transmission symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe a hesitation, shudder, or pulsating sensation at highway speeds, most noticeable between 57 and 78 mph, occurring in all drive modes regardless of brake regeneration setting.
  • Multiple owners report the ICCU (Integrated Charge Control Unit) failing, preceded by a loud pop, followed by warning lights, reduced power, and the vehicle limiting top speed to around 25 mph or 12 mph before becoming inoperable.
  • Some drivers report a 'check electric vehicle system' warning that puts the car into limp mode, restricting speed while driving, sometimes on a highway or hill.
  • Several complaints describe a sudden loss of power or complete shutdown accompanied by a 'Stop and Check Power Supply' or battery overheat warning, in one case while driving in snowy conditions.
  • One owner reports the car unexpectedly shifting itself into neutral on the freeway with multiple dashboard error lights, requiring the vehicle to be restarted.
  • Owners note these failures can happen with low mileage, in one case around 8,000 miles, and often require the vehicle to be towed to a dealership.
