| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: (1) normal driving, no abnormalities whatsoever (2) at freeway speed, in busy traffic, without warning: the car lost all motive power (neither gas nor electric working); the hybrid system warning icon displayed on the multi-function display. luckily, in both instances, we were able to move to the shoulder while decelerating. after coming to a complete stop, we referred to the owner's manual which suggested turning the ignition key completely off and then attempting a restart. in both cases the car started up again and was drivable (although in the first case the warning icon remained displayed for approximately 10 miles). (3) took car to toyota dealer who verified failure code(s) stored in onboard memory; dealer replaced accelerator pedal/position sensor assembly. *jb |
