Consumer Description

ENGINE FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. HAD JUST COME THROUGH A TOLL GATE AND MERGING INTERSECTION. WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH ABOUT 55 MPH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL LIT UP AND THE ENGINE DIED. TRAVELLED TO A SAFE LOCATION VIA BATTERY POWER AND CALLED DEALER. CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER IN LEESBURG, BUT THEY CAN NOT WORK ON THE CAR UNTIL A BATTERY CHARGER IS REVIEVED FROM TOYOTA. THEY SAY THERE IS ONLY ONE IN THE 4 STATE REGION SO IT COULD BE A WEEK OR SO. NO EXPLAINATION BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON WHAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM.
