Again, start small then work to larger issues. Before jumping to the hybrid battery packs.

I wish the newbies would look at the DATES on posts before responding. This thread will soon be two years old, so any advice provided is unlikely to help the original participants.

did we ever get any info about what finally happend?
the car is stil driving around?

the dealer can connect a service device where it will read the cell voltage's of the HV battery pack
you can do this during driving to and see what the cells do.
with this you can see without taking anything appart if there is a problem with the battery.
also hv battery can be read and you can see if its drops fast.
