Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED AND STATED, "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM". STOPPED THE CAR RIGHT AWAY CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A TOYOTA FACILITY WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED INVERTER, WHICH IS PART OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED. IF I HAD BEEN ON A FREEWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I COULD SEE THIS BEING A VERY DANGEROUS SCENARIO. *TR
