    HI all,

    I just had an alignment done on my 2012 Prius III (91,000 miles) at NTB. When I started the car there was a message "Traction Battery Power Low Charge When Not in N Position". The battery showed 1 bar and after driving a bit, the gauge went up to the normal level. After about 20 miles of normal driving, the ABS light came on and stayed on with the brake pedal feeling mushy.

    What could have happened at NTB to cause these issues now? Everything was fine before getting an alignment.

    Thanks,
    David

    Sounds like they ran the hybrid battery down, maybe by having it on and in Neutral for a protracted time? Maybe will recover but If it carries on I think you'll need to get a Toyota Dealership to check it out.

    Editorial: NTB equals National Tire and Battery.
