Description of the problem	While driving on major expressway i lost all power and was (thank goodness) able to safely coast to shoulder. All the warning lights lit up together with the alternating messages: "hybrid system failure" and "vsc failure." the car would not restart. I was fortunate it was a sunday morning and i was able to safely reach the shoulder. The expressway i drive monday through friday (i-595 in broward county florida) is very heavily traveled and, due to construction, has many sections without a shoulder. My 2006 highlander hybrid had to be towed. I was advised that the hybrid inverter, a $7,000 part, had failed.
