Description of the problem	Toyota prius v 2012 lost power as i was driving out of the parking lot. I had to make emergency stop on the side of the road because inverter/electric motor failed. Mechanic ran computer test and found that problem codes indeed pointed to failure of inverter. I called local dealer mccord toyota and was told my car does not fall to extended warranty of inverter and did not offer any help. Same day i called toyota customer care at 1-800-331-4331 and they told me that my car does not fall under inverter warranty based on my vin number, and gave me case number 2005072419. I was able to call my insurance company to arrange towing from my location to repair shop. Repair shop completed work and vehicle is now in operable condition. I feel lucky that i was not on freeway and did not have my children with me when it happened.
