Description of the problem	The 2006 highlander hybrid was parked on a steep hill. Turned on the ignition, put it into reverse, and went about one foot (uphill) when it made a loud "clank" sound and stopped. "check vsc", "check hybrid", and "check awd" warning messages were then displayed on the instrument panel. I could not turn the engine on and drive it, so i had it towed to a local toyota dealer where it was diagnosed as having an inverter failure. Within 4 days, the inverter was replaced under warranty.
