It sounds like the electric motor battery is not working as efficiently as it should be, and needs to be replaced. I would have the codes pulled on the computer; if you have a P0CA4 code coming up, that means the battery needs to be replaced. A mechanic at YourMechanic can service your battery at your home or business.
