Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated You really need to return the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired under the warrenty .. sounds like the fault may be in the HVC (Hybrid Vehicle Control) ECU .. it will have to be plugged into the nissan Consult III diagnostic scanner to locate the actual cause of the fault ! Hope this helps
