    Been having a little trouble with an 07 Prius that has up until now behaved itself very well. Would appreciate any ideas as to what is going on. The red triangle on the dash will flash on sometimes and generally it turns off again in a few seconds. The car is having a little trouble accelerating-not bad, but I can tell it's slower than it should be. Does everybody think this is probably the hybrid battery starting to go? Thanks!

    Welcome to PriusChat!!
    Have you checked the engine oil level lately?

    How many miles of the vehicle, and is the HV battery still original?
