 I was driving at 70 mph on us290. without warning, the engine suddenly shut down and the dashboard display went blank (except for the navigation system). i was unable to restart the car. there was a message to check the acv system. i tightened the gas tank cap and was able to restart. a complete shutdown without warning is very dangerous. *tr

 Tl*the contact owns a 2008 lexus rx400h. while driving 25 mph and applying the brakes the lack of electricity in the battery caused the contact to apply excessive pressure to the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. within minutes the brakes began to function normally since the battery recharged by pumping the brakes. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer twice for a diagnostic test and both times the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. the contact is concerned that the failure could in the braking system could cause a crash to occur. the failure mileage was 22,000.
