2015 TOYOTA PRIUS Engine Problems

I was driving from Las Vegas to my home in Los Angeles. An alarming message began flashing on the dashboard telling me to pull over. The vehicle became hard to control. I somehow managed to get it off an exit. I was "lucky" enough to get it towed to a nearby Toyota dealership where I was told the inverter had failed and that that inverter and associated parts had to be replaced. On my 2015 Prius with only 50,000 miles on it. I SPECIFICALLY asked if there had been a recall on the electrical system of any 2015 Priuses, and they flatly said no. I also CALLED TOYOTA, and they also said there were no recalls involving the electrical system or inverters.

Driving making slight turn car locked up steering wheel, brakes and gas all locked up ran in to a wall. The vehicle just failed with no prior warning.

While attempting to accelerate from a stop light, the Prius stalled. It would not accelerate although the engine revved. I restarted the car by powering completely off and back on. I tried to accelerate again multiple times until it slowly came up to speed the third attempt. The car was in drive and has never happened before. This is a safety concern for multiple reasons but the main being it can cause harm to those in the vehicle as well as other drivers on the road when the car stalls unexpectedly. There were no warning signals on the dash. Toyota dealer looked at it right away, ran diagnostics, and could not find an issue. Nothing was “fixed” or updated.

ANYTIME I CHANGE ELEVATIONS THE ENGINE SEEMS TO REV WHEN IT IS IDLING ON CRUISE CONTROL. ON THE DOWNHILL, THE CAR WILL ACCELLERATE TO IGNORE THE SPEED ON CRUISECONTROL TO DANGEROUS HIGH VELOCITY. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA OF NORTH HOLLYWOOD THREE TIMES... IT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED.
