Hello All
I have a 2006 prius, bought a used vehicle from local toyota dealer with 68k mileage, everything was ok till 3 days ago...
when I used to drive from my home to work it was 99% running on hybrid battery, at times changes to tyre rolling power, when driving at higher speed above 60kmph it will run and as the speed becomes steady it will either move to rolling power, neutral or to hybrid power.
from last 3 days as soon as the hybrid power kicks in within 10-20 seconds it automatically jumps to engine power or both engine & hybrid power even though the hybrid battery is fully or 75% charged its jumps to engine power but runs normal on rolling power.
If i stop the vehicle and press the park button and move the vehicle again it works normal or driving below 50kmph when I press the EV button it works normal on hybrid power.
I took it to the local Toyota dealer from where I bought this vehicle we did a test drive it happened, today when we did the test drive it did not but later it started happening again.
I also have slight rattling sound in dashboard on the left passenger side, it started the same day this power swap problem started.
and there is no form of any warning indication light flashing to alert me.
please advise what may be the cause
thanks
