As i was driving 55-65 mph on the highway, the check hybrid system alert came on, and all of a sudden i lost power. i was able to make it home but going up hill it would not go faster than 35 mph, and 40-50 mph on flat ground. this happened on a busy highway where the average speed is 55-65 mph
When driving at higher speeds than 40 mph, my check engine light, and check my hybrid system light is turned on. when it turned on, i was unable to accelerate, however i was able to pull over, and restart my car. i have recently come in to get a software update for the factory recall related to the issue. however my inverter has been damaged as well. on this website it states if my inverter is damaged related to the recall, it will be repaired free of charge. however the toyota dealership charged me for diagnostic, and requested payment for the replacement of my inverter. i also have given toyota a call as well, they have stated that the recall only will consist of a software update. i was unable to get anyone from toyota to help me with my repair of my inverter thus far.

Took prius in for coil replacement and was told the cooling fan was failing and there was a leak from the water pump. coolant level was not to the low point at anytime and was checked and refilled if not full, the temp warning has not come on. i am now being told that a head gasket is blown and that i need a new engine. the car is not even at 200k and has had all routine maintence and recalls completed.
