Problem?!?!

Problem?!?!
I was driving today, and all of a sudden once I came to stop, at a redlight, all my battery bars disappeared and my idle revs jumped to 1500. Then, ione battery bar came blinked back on. When I went to accelerate, the revs climbed, but the car did not accelerate very well. I had to floor it to climb to an adequate speed in traffic, the car did not want. Also along with it, I lost three bars of fuel?? What happened. I went from six battery bars to none. IT was around 90 today, but I was driving the car all day. Any ideas?!?!

Re: Problem?!?!
Very unusual I may add. I would suggest you visit your dealer and with any luck they'll find a code or two.
Did the SoC remain depleted or did it return to more than 4 bars?
Did the assist return? How about Regen functions? Did it continue to autostop at the following stops or red lights?

Re: Problem?!?!
I had something similar happen (6 bars down to 2, didn't lose any fuel bars) but it was winter and I was only on the road for 2 minutes. Your situation sounds really odd. I'd definitely take it to the dealer if it happens again.

Re: Problem?!?!
I've had a similar experience and I always assumed that it was the IMA battery recalibrating. (I believe that the battery recalibrating process is described in the owner's manual, if you are not familiar with it.)

Re: Problem?!?!
My battery bars staid at one, and then went to 2. My idle rpm was a little over 1000. During this, the light turned green and I went to accelerate, the rpms climbed, but the car did not want to accelerate, I was flooring it for what seemed about 30-40 seconds to get the car to 23 mph. Hope this helps.

Re: Problem?!?!
The car is running normally right now. I have not had a chance to take it in. But my screen keeps flashing check fuel cap, and the fuel cap is on properly, so I will have to take it in soon.
