Consumer Description

THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING, WITHOUT ANY WARNING! LUCKILY, THE DRIVER WAS NOT REAR- ENDED!! THE CAR WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE INVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $9000! THE CAR IS IN OTHERWISE GREAT SHAPE AND HAS BEEN SERVICED AT TOYOTA REGULARLY . THE LAST CHECK UP WAS LAST MONTH AT 118,000 MILES! THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED FOR THE 2006 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID, WHICH WAS RECALLED. *TR
