Was driving in West sacramento, when the check engine, check hybrid system alarms went off.within 1 minute, the car went dead, no power, no steering. If I was on an express way, it would have been a guaranteed fatality for me, my family and other cars involved. The dealership, Lexus of sacramento told me the computer failed in the car. The car has only 55,000 miles on it. I am concerned about the quality of parts used by Lexus.
