Consumer Description

DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE RECEIVED A CHECK HYBRID LIGHT THEN THE ENGINE POWERED DOWN AND THEN SHUT DOWN. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE WITHOUT CRASHING. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS THE IVS, INVERTER SYSTEM, WHICH OVERHEATED AND SHUT ENGINE DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2014 FOR BAD SOLDERING IN THE IVS SYSTEM. CAR HAS ONLY 72,000 MILES ON IT, BUT OVER 8 YEARS ON WARRANTY. SO I AM WAITING ON TOYOTA TO DECIDE IF THEY ARE GOING TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR $9,500 REPAIR. I AM NOW AWARE OF LAWSUITS AND COMPLAINTS ON THE INVERTER SYSTEM OF THE HYBRID HIGHLANDER.
