Description of the problem	I was driving in my highlander with my daughters in the back seat when suddenly out of no where all the alert lights came on and there was no power at all - the gas pedal was non functional - i was in the far left lane of a an interstate and fortunately i was able to get off the road and pull the car out of traffic as it rolled to a stop. I waited on the crowded interstate for two hours for a tow. I was told that the highlander hybrid inverter had failed - the dealer replaced the part that week and the car drives normally now. I was advised that in fact this is a known problem. One month later ironically i received in the mail notice from toyota that my model of highlander is being recalled for the inverter replacement that had just caused this extremely unsafe vehicle failure just one month prior.
