Consumer Description

I READ ON THE EDMUNDS SITE FOR LEXUS 400H, MANY OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC INVERTER ON THE MODEL YEAR 2006. I OWN THIS CAR AND I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEM. I BELIEVE YOUR AGENCY SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THIS SITUATION AS IT APPEARS THAT OWNERS ARE REPORTING THAT LEXUS IS NOT ADMITTING TO THIS SITUATION. ONE OWNER REPORTS THAT LEXUS KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN 2006 AND CHANGED TO A DIFFERENT INVERTER STARTING WITH VIN #'S GREATER THAN 60036526. MY CAR'S VI # FALLS BELOW THAT CUTOFF AND I AM VERY WORRIED. WHEN THE INVERTER FAILS, ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE FAILS AND THE DRIVER IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. *TR UPDATED 06/02/11
