Description of the problem	I purchased a 206 toyota highlander suv hybrid in dec 2005 1st generation. My car has 166k miles. The suv stop running without any warning on the highway as i proceeded on a sunday morning going to volunteer for the avon breast cancer walk, 1 may 11. I conduct regular maintenance checks on my vehicle. I was quite surprise to learn that the part cost over $9k to replace not including labor. The part to replace is called inverter assembly. I contacted hq's toyota to ask for some assistance with the replacement of this part. I was refused helped. I proceeded to conduct research and found this website: a class action lawsuit against toyota for this same make, model and year as mines. See website: http://www. Courthousenews. Com/2011/03/14/toyota. Pdf. I was quite surprise to see this is a common problem with this part once you reached over 100k and toyota was not providing a recall for this defective part since it used the same technology as the prius which experienced the same problem but was recalled. I seek help with obtaining toyota to pay for part. Here are other websites concerning this issue: http://www. Google. Com/search?
