Highlander Hybrid

  • 10,000 miles
My 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid loses all power on ice or any slippery surface. This has caused my car to "die" on several occasions including entering and exiting highways, driving on hills, driving in snow. I have slid off my driveway when I encountered an icy patch. I had no control. Upon entering a freeway via an icy entrance ramp, my car lost all power while entering traffic and I was forced to coast to the shoulder in a very dangerous situation.
