I can still drive it, but as long as the fault indicator is lit, the cruse control doesn't work and the regenerative breaking, is less effective. I'm still doing the research, regarding the repair or replacement of the battery pack. |

This should prove to be one of the more interesting undertakings, removing and disassembling this pack. |

If we don't hear from you in a couple days we'll call 911 for you.

They recommended just removing the one bad cell, but the way they're sandwitched together, it still required removing the cells, preceeding the bad cell. There's all seriesing links on both sides of the cells. The on line proceedures recommended just cutting the plastic between the cells. I just disassembled the entire bank, as one of the cells that had a slightly lower reading and it was the last cell. There's 28, 7.2v nickel metal hydride cells in the bank, one read 6.4 volts and the other 7.2, where the others read 7.8. Those are all no-load readings. Will I do it again! Absolutely! |

I finished the battery pack and installed it. Back to working properly and 51.9 MPG. I still have to replace all the trim panels in the cargo area.

Sorry to say but IMHO it's junk. Be American buy American. I know this might start some sh&t but that's the way I was brought up.
