Re: IMA assist doesn't always kick in
If you are not using the AC, I could see this happening while the IMA batteries are TOO hot. I live in DFW area of Texas, and have not noticed this. I USE my AC, btw! (AUTO, set to 76-80.)
I'll be on the lookout for it, though. I can't imagine I've missed this though, if it happens as frequently as you are experiencing it.
