Description of the problem	While driving the car at 68 mph in hov lane, hybrid system alert light up and the engine completely lost power and shut down. Very dangerous situation and lucky able to direct the car to right side and stop and wait for towing. This happen during traffic was slightly jam so able to drive to the right side when other cars are slowing down in regular lane. Cannot imagine if there is no traffic jam, high potential to get into accident and life threatening situation. With the dealer for five days and they cannot pinpoint the exact problem and keep on saying is slight problem. How can this be slight problem when the engine completely shut down?? Need to have major recall for public safety. There are similar problems from other owners that have discussion about this same issue on the internet. I hope this will be address and recall before someone get into major injury or lost of life.
