Description of the problem	I bought an '06 toyota highlander hybrid in june of '07. For the last 9 months i have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. My main concern is it stalls out in traffic. It has stalled on the interstate, highways, waiting to make turns and sitting in traffic. The only way to get it started again is to turn it off and restart it. I have complained to the dealership on several occasions regarding this but because it is not registering an "error" code they claim that there is "nothing they can do." it has become so bad that i fear for my family, myself and other drivers surrounding me. One of the employees at the dealership says he believes that there is a software issue. The dealership makes me feel like it is going to take someone getting hurt or killed before they do something about it! Why should it cost my family or the surrounding public their life or injury for dealerships to really make an effort to work on a vehicle? I put the most recent incident down as the incident date but it has happened several times.
