Howdy from Tennessee, I'm Chris aka Moose. Who am I helping today? I'm glad you've come here to get help. I will do my best to get the answer you are looking for. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. I try to be online at 1-5 pm and 10 pm-5 am every day.
- I assume the vehicle is still under warranty?
- Any fluids leaking onto the ground under the transaxle?
- Do you have a scan tool to see what codes are stored?

Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like in my answer. I hope what I can provide does help.
It would be best to utilize the warranty. If you attempt to repair and cause damage, this can void the complete vehicle warranty and Hybrid repairs are not cheap as is. You do not want to have that on your own cash.
Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
