Default warning message

Has anyone gotten a warning message before? Four days ago I got a message
that said something like "Warning. Battery will not charge unless placed in
neutral". When placed in neutral the screen showed the battery was charging
and when placed back in drive the warning came on again. I then turned off
the A/C and turned off the car. When I turned it on again and placed it in
drive, the warning came on again. I drove a short distance with the warning
on and then parked it for an hour. That seemed to solve the problem.
I usually get about 54 mpg but my mileage dropped into the high 40s a couple
days. The mileage appears to be heading up again. I have a 2005 with 6,000
miles on it. Over all this has been a great car.

Why did you put it in "N"? Just trying to get a complete picture of the
situation.

Default warning message

The screen said to put it in neutral. It did stop the warning but it did
not help me getting any where.
