Default Re: Is Forced Autostop Bad for the Hybrid Battery?

One last thing, _IF_ you think that some way of operating the car caused the failure, you MUST, as soon as you get it back, repeat that behavior on the way home and for the next week. If you can 'operate' the car into failure in a couple of days, find out while you can still say, "It broke." The repair will be under warrantee and you will know whether or not you can operate it so it breaks.

If it doesn't break within a week, then you know it is pretty bullet proof and have a happy.
