Description of the problem	Vehicle was in motion, departing from parked lot. Vehicle lost all drive power, and instrument panel warning lights turned on. After shutting vehicle off and restarting, warning message to check brake system, and check hybrid system illuminated. Also all warning indicators activated in the guage cluster panel. Thankfully, we were not driving fast when the vehicle became disabled, otherwise it could have been fatal. Had vehicle towed to nearest toyota dealership, where they advise "the power inverter assembly failed." toyota refuses to help, even though this exact problem has been recalled for other vin numbers matching my vehicle.
