Description of the problem	(2006 toyota highlander hybrid) pulling onto 4 lane (2 lanes divided by concrete barrier) highway merging into 55+ mph traffic. Accelerated to about 30-35 mph and heard a "clunk". Car started to coast without any acceleration (gasoline engine still running). Unfortunately this was at a complicated intersection where several roads intersect without room for a shoulder. I was able to drift to the right most lane, where entering traffic from intersecting road used. I was left stranded without any control over forward movement. The repair cost is in excess of $18,000. Apparent need for a complete replacement of the hybrid system (inverter and drive system). The "blue book" value might be in the $15-16,000 range.
