Issue ID	1073297
Internal NHTSA #	10596292

Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER HYBRID
Model Year	2006
File date	14/05/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	There was fire in the inverter assembly. The wiring harness for the inverter and the transmission were completely cooked and melted. The professional opinion of a toyota national engineer is that the generator in the trans axle surged and caused a fire melting the components. How can this go un-investigated with so many of these vehicles on the road. My family and i could have been burned alive or in a fatal crash due to this completely unsafe system. How can toyota continue to say they are all about safety when they will not do anything about issues like this. They have sent me a $16,000 bill for this issue that is completely a product of their poor and unsafe vehicle.
