Description of the problem	Have a toyota 2006 highlander hybrid and was driving the car less than a week ago and was on the parkway doing 65 in the middle lane and car started to decelerate, lost the power steering, could not brake nor was i able to push the pedal for the gas. Able to get to the shoulder and car stopped. Put it in drive and went to restart car, would not turn on the entire dashboard lit up with check hybrid system, check vsh, brake light etc..... Brought to a toyota dealership thursday, still no word. States it might be an electrical problem part is approximate. 1500 to start. Theycannot even evaluate the car till they place this part in. Sounds costly to me . Went on another website, appears that other owners of the 2006 highlander hybrid have had similar problems when they are over 100,000 miles. October 4 email:"finally got my car back after 3 weeks. They put in a new control panel and inverter, i paid $1400 for the control panel and was compensated for the $8800 inverter. Plus they fixed a steering wheel recall and the rear brakes were shot (my fault). [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
