Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING A 2006 LEXUS 400H THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, EVERYTHING! JUST QUIT AND THE CAR HAD TO BE MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR'S INVERTER HAD FAILED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED BY THE DEALER FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE AND HAS HAD NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE NEW INVERTER COSTS $8300! WE WILL PROBABLY SELL THE CAR FOR SALVAGE AS ITS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL GO OUT NEXT! APPARENTLY THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER HYBRIDS BY LEXUS AND TOYOTA. ITS A MIRACLE THAT THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. *TR
