Toyota Highlander hybrid-I have lost abs brakes, stability control and power steering along with the hybrid engine on two occasions with my 2 week old 2006 Highlander. I have brought it to the dealer twice-the first time they found "malfunction codes" and "rebooted" the computer and told me it was operating as "designed," only to happen again 2 days later. Currently, they are replacing a computer. Date of incident and purchase of vehicle is actually 2006 but is not an option below. I am concerned it will happen again and result in an accident in the future.
