Faulty break system this would be 2 time to get fix in less than 1 and 3 months.
I was driving down the road and lost power of my vehicle. Toyota dealership said it was my #6 coil but I have a feeling it was the inverter with everything that happened to it. I googled it and everything that happened was exactly what happeneds when the inverter goes on the vehicle. I don't really trust them.
Driving approximately 65 mph on a busy southern California freeway when I hear a popping sound and my car died. Was in the fast lane and had to move over to the right shoulder. Dangerous!!! could have gotten in a accident, but made it ok. Had to have the car towed. Was told that the hybrid inverter needed replacing. Never knew that Toyota was having a problem with the inverter, and have now been told that there was a recall on some 2007's, but my VIN number was not included in the recall and therefore not covered. Cost to replace inverter $9,000 to $11,000. Why wasn't my car included in the recall!! very obvious that the recall should have gone further to include mine. My problem is the same as everyone else is having. Please consider extending the recall.
First event-pulling into a parking space-applied the brake-car accelerated and went over the bumper guard. Ongoing issue-when applying the brake and hitting a bump in the road at the same time, the car lunges forward and the brake appears to fail. Reported to dealer-said it was possibly the abs brake system. Have had the brakes checked numerous times with no trouble found.
