This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving the car, the "check hybrid system" light came on and the car lost power. The car had very little power and just crept at a very low rate. Stepping on the throttle pedal did not do any good. If we were in traffic we would have been in a dangerous safety situation. We had the car towed to a dealer and are waiting for an assessment. We have seen on Toyota nation that this is not an isolated case. Why hasn't a recall or an alert been issued for this situation. It is very similar to the ignition key problem where the engine is inadvertently shut-off. We have been lucky that this happened close to our residence. If my wife had been driving with our grandchildren in the car, who knows what would have happened. This is a serious safety condition that must be addressed by Toyota. At the Toyota dealer, we could not duplicate the "check hybrid system" condition and we are not comfortable about driving this car if Toyota can not assess and fix this unsafe condition.
