“A moment of terror in my Lexus 2008 rx400h on may 01 I was driving home from work. On busy route 111 in nh. In heavy traffic I lost all power. All the lights on the instrument panel went on. It was almost a multicar pileup. With screeching tires and cars making panic stops it was a wonder that nobody was hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #10523446, filed 2013-07, 89,000 miles“One of the 2 hybrid modules failed. I believe this is the same one recalled in 2013. The vehicle stopped and engine would not turn over. All dashboard warning lights came on along with check hybrid engine and check vcs ( I think were the initials, for vehicle control system). Had the car been travelling at highway speeds I believe a fatal crash would have occurred. As it was, luckily, we were in stop and go traffic. Had car towed off highway but tow truck driver told me he drove it up on the flatbed. I had tried starting it several times without any success. …”
