| Description of the problem | 2006 hybrid highlander. Well maintained. On two occasions, the engine died without warning. Lights flashed the car stalled in heavy traffic areas. Towed to toyota dealership. Each time the dealership said could not replicate the problem. It happened at 96,000 miles and again at 105,000. I was offered a low trade in price for an new rav 4. The dealership said they can not replicate the problem. I suggested the problem was above their feeble minds. Ill trained brains can not comprehend complex issues. It is real easy, put in an new inverter. New month i will have a larger settlement check for a business venture. Last toyota product i buy. I have owned 8 vehicles from this dealership. Looks like i am going back to american it was very scary on top of the interstate 12 during rush hour with a hard rain failing.. |
