| Description of the problem | I am about to purchase an 06 toyota highlander 4x4 hybrid. I received information that the 06 toyota highlander hybrid inverter has serious problems, and that the cost to fully repair this problem is huge. I would like to protect myself from potential problems (like this) by not purchasing any such vehicle. I would also like to know (if this issue is valid) whether dealerships have the ability to be informed of any such vehicle problems, before they sell it on their lot? |
