The car lost power, then stalled during normal commute to work. Engine lights check hybrid system, check ABS brakes, check VCS, etc. Car was towed to Toyota dealership.
Dealership indicated that the Hybrid Inverter failed and the cost to fix was $9,000. The KBB value for trade in was $11,000 at the time, private sale KBB value about $13,000. After repeated calls to Toyota Customer Care they refused to replace the Inverter at less than that outrageous cost even though there is a clear history of the inverter failing on the 2006 models.
The diagnostic code printout that they gave to us does not even indicate an inverter failure and yet that is what both dealership and corporate keep insisting is the problem. We had the car towed home and put it under roof until we can try to find a solution. In the end, this car, with it's excellent interior and exterior condition, brand new timing belt and tires.. may in the end ...end up in the junkyard.
