| I was driving my 2006 toyota higlander hybrid on i 95 in 4 lanes of dense traffic all going at least 60-70mph, when i noticed that i was losing power and my car was starting to slow down. i glanced at the dash to see multiple warning signals - check hybrid, check vsc and others. fortunately, there was a big enough gap on the left for me to pull across the left most lane because i knew if i did not i was going to stall and likely be in a major accident. it was a very scary moment. i could not restart my car and had to wait to get towed, ( dc rush hour). the dealer said my inverter needed to be replaced. after hearing the news i remembered that i had a notice from toyota, a recall for part of the inverter. initially, i was told this would not cover what i needed. in the end, i was covered . i am thankful to all who reported similar issues so that this would be addressed. | |||
