Description of the problem	2006 toyota highlander hybrid power inverter failure - a $9,000 repair. My 2006 highlander hybrid came to a dead halt last friday afternoon going just over 40 mph on a busy street in austin, tx. The engine would run, but it would not move in any gear. I had it towed to the toyota dealer on i-35 and it was diagnosed with a failed power inverter - a $9,000 repair. It has 70k miles and i just purchased it for $18k a couple of months ago. The original owner purchased an extended warranty to 100k miles, so very fortunate that this very expensive repair was covered including a free rental car for the week it was in the shop. I will definitely purchase another warranty when this one expires as who can afford this type of repair on a used vehicle! I am considering selling this vehicle and took it to the same toyota dealer that replaced the power inverter to give me a trade in appraisal. They ran a car fax history report on it and there is no indication that the car has had the power inverter replaced! They show it serviced on the date of the repair, but did not indicate that the power inverter had been replaced - are they trying to hide this problem?????
