| Description of the problem | I was driving to work on the highway when all of the sudden my car started to slow down, i pushed on the accelerator and got nothing, the dash board lights came on and the car completely stalled. The computer screen said to "check hybrid system and check vsc system". I sat for awhile and tried to restart the car, it did start but it would move, and then it displayed on the computer, " put car in p" and again the message read check hybrid system and vsc system. The tow truck driver got into my vehicle to put it on the roll back and he noticed that the computer was saying the same thing to him, so i know i wasn't going crazy. The car was then towed to the dealership where i purchased it and they call me to tell me that the car is running fine and that there is no problem!!! I am furious, i bought this car because of toyota's reputation, reliability and safety. I do not feel safe in the car!!! |
