There was one odd thing and this was noticed when I began the drive home. When applying the brakes there seemed to be a metal-on-metal scraping/screeching type noise coming from under the hood. It was not that loud at all though and I only heard this in my cousin's driveway as I was turning around since it was very quiet. The car had 3/4 tank of gas, and the battery/hybrid system all looked normal on the display. No warning lights at all until the "check hybrid system" light came on about five blocks from my house! For those last five blocks the hybrid screen wasn't working. There were no arrows signifying if the gas, electric, or both motors were running on the display.

I'll post any info from the dealer as I get it.
