Transmission Failure problem

My transmission has failed on my Toyota 2005 highlander after 96,000 miles. I have read other consumer complaints and I am convinced there is a serious problem with the2005 Toyota Highlander Hybrid transmission. I spoke to Toyota and they advised me to take my car to the dealership. I was told that the transmission had to be replaced and that it would cost $5060,00 to replace. Toyota offered me . 10% off the cost of repairs. I was shocked as I have only owned the vehicle for 15 months and have a 4 year note. I am very fortunate that I did not have a horrible accident as I was coming down a very steep incline on the highway when the transmission began to fail. I am forced to repair the vehicle as I am not in the position to purchase another vehicle. I would like for the NHTSA to look into this issue further.
