I had a faulty ignition switch which would not let me turn the engine off so i drove it to a Ford dealer who took 4 hours to locate how to switch off the batteries and 5 days to replace the switch.

The current hybrids suck right now to be honest. They have some cool stuff coming though if they actually make enough to sell to the people that want it. I'm still amazed at how these car companies cry about losing money but have massive waiting lists for their hybrid vehicles.
