Consumer Description
THE INVERTER IN THE CAR FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING. I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP LIGHT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN POWER MODE. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR LOST POWER, AND I COULD NOT KEEP UP SPEED. THE CAR ENTERED A SAFETY MODE THAT ONLY ALLOWS MINIMAL FORWARD MOVEMENT. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE. BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED, SEVERAL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LIGHT. "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM" ALSO APPEARED ON THE DASH. A FEW MONTHS EARLIER, THIS CAR HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE OFFERED BY TOYOTA FOR THE COMPANY'S PRIUS RECALL. *TR
