And there's no mention of replacing batteries over a period much longer then 24 months.
Yeah, and there's no mention of tire feathering on 350z's anywhere either, but its a known problem. Try talking to dealer who services the cars. My wife and I were looking at the Toyota hybrids and spent some time talking with their service manager for known problems and that issue came up. I confirmed it through another source at a Calgary dealership (I know someone in the bis up there), so it was a known problem with the platform itself. Those that don't ask the questions will be upset down the line. Buyer beware.
