    engine is always on, even on full stop/ battery charge is at 6 to 7 bars. I drive all day average is 100 miles a day. I just notice it recently about 3 days ago. does anyone have any problem like this? I used to have a 2007 prius and that car even only 3 bars when you step on the brake/ at full stop the engine will shut off.

    If the engine is warmed up, the hybrid battery at full charge and the engine does not shut down at a full stop, get thee to your dealer.

    Finally found it on some chats about intake exhaust pan on main battery being block.. sure it was block with dust.. has a screen protection on it so that no large object will get suck in.. The vent is under the rear right passenger seat..
