Hi,
Let me first say that I LOVE my HAH!
I have almost 3000 miles on it, and about 98% of that is pure city driving, my gas mileage is averaging 29.9mpg and I am thrilled. I traded in my gas guzzling suburban (13mpg on a GREAT day).

Here is my problem. Yesterday, during my lunch break, I was taking a quick trip home when suddenly a light on the left side of the instrument panel lit up in orange, and on the right side the TCS Light lit up as well as the orange ! Also, at the same time, the little green dot on the panel that lights up next to the D to show that you are in drive, began blinking and the pretty green eco light that I love so much quit functioning, although the bars that show wether it is charging or assisting continued to work.

I stopped the car , put it in park and turned off the engine. when I restarted the engine, the ! and the TCS light did not come back on, but the eco light and the funny little orange thing on the left, that to me looks like a freaking video camera, were still lit up. I looked it up in my manual and it is called a "malfunction indicator lamp". I wrote all of this down and when I got to work I called the service dept and set up an appt for this morning.

Well, of course this morning, everything was right back to normal, but I took it in anyway and they scanned it with a computer, did 'something', drove it around, and then gave me a loaner car. The guy said it could be something as simple as a software update or it could be something more troublesome. He said this is the first hybrid they have ever had a single problem with, which just tickles me to death!

anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have had any similar experiences or any ideas of what the trouble might be? I hope it is something easily fixed and that I won't continue to have problems.

Thanks for any help and advice :o)
