2008 Toyota HIGHLANDER HYBRID Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model	HIGHLANDER HYBRID
Model Year	2008
File date	14/08/13
Component	UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The car just stopped moving - engine was running & all systems were on. The warning systems starting displaying the following messages: check hybrid system, check vsc system, check brake system, check 4wd system. The car had no 'limp' mode, and i was fortunate enough to coast to a parking space. Prior to this the car was running fine with no signs of failure. I had it towed to the shop and was told the hybrid inverter had gone out. Upon researching this it appears to be a common problem with the highlander's, and there was a recall on the 2006/07 models. I purchased in jan of 2008, and by vin research it appears my vechicle came from the same manufacturing facility as the recalled models. Also, searching on-line i found several incidents of this now in the 2008 models. I feel fortunate that i was not on the freeway, as it appears this can happen anywhere at any speed. I find it very sad that toyota knows this hazard exists and still is not notifying or replacing these parts that they know are defective (not only not replacing, but asking consumers to pay 10k plus to repair).
