Description of the problem	i have an 06 toyota highlander hybrid with 64,900 miles on it, we were driving on interstate 5 south on central ca, suddenly vsc and check hybrid system flashed on the instrument panel and the car was totally dead, tried to start it a couple of times but to no avail. The car was towed too a nearest dealership and the problem was the hybrid inverter. 2 days before the incident the car's battery was totally drained, not a single light will turn on. I jump started the car to make run. The inverter was replaced under warranty and it would have caused us $8200 w/o installation to replaced it if it was not covered under warranty.
