What owners report
TWICE DURING THE SAME RIDE, THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE UNDER QUICK ACCELERATION AND DISPLAYED A "SYSTEM FAULT S86" WHICH THE MANUAL LISTS AS "MOTOR CONTROLLER -- MOTOR OVER CURRENT".

FIRST INSTANCE I WAS TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON AN UPHILL GRADE, THE SECOND WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE FREEWAY. AN MOTOR POWER LOSS LIKE THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ANY TIME A VEHICLE IS AT SPEED, BUT IT'S ESPECIALLY THREATENING WHEN IT OCCURS DURING A PASSING OR FREEWAY MERGING SITUATION. IN BOTH CASES, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT GIVEN HEAVIER
