Description of the problem	On june 29th, 2013 i was traveling south bound on interstate 95, just north richmond va, when the vehicle lost power and the and "hybrid engine fail", or something similar flashed on the display. I pulled to the left shoulder which was very narrow. Checking traffic behind me, i was able to get to the right shoulder, where it died. I had it towed to the dealer, who said the hybrid system needed to be replaced at a cost of $9,200. We opted to sell the car for scrap and received $3,600. If i hadn't been able to get to the shoulder, i would have been a sitting duck and that busy section of road.
