Got my 4xe last April. Powertrain in EV mode and hybrid modes were flawless until mid-winter. Whenever I had juice, EV mode was available until 0% and after that, hybrid always functional. Was driving short distances (less than 5 miles) and not plugging in very often once winter started. Noticed that in hybrid mode, engine was not turning off during idle time, let alone during breaking and overrun situations. Being in Boston cold, looked past it. Having owned 3 other full hybrids, still seemed strange. Battery seemed to be functional - gauge would show charging and discharging.
Recently, weather warming up and been able to plug in more often. However, about 2/3 of the time when I start up, with a full charge and temp in 40s and 50s, engine immediately starts and if I try to put into EV mode, display tells me "Electric mode temp unavailable". Even after engine warms up, no change. Engine never shuts off even when idling at stop lights. The few times I've been able to get into EV mode, after a few miles it goes back into Hybrid mode and I get same "Electric mode temp unavailable".
Anyone else run into this?
