Hi guys,
My RX400h just suffered the dreaded hybrid inverter failure, discussed elsewhere on this forum. It's done only 40 000 miles, but it is out of the 6 years warranty. My VIN number is fairly close to the range which was recalled back in 2011, this repair is extremely expensive (I was quoted over £4000 by Lexus Edgeware road) and Lexus UK absolutely refuses to do anyhting to help.
I must say that it was a scary experience as the engine just stopped dead at 50 mph and I barely managed to steer the car to the side of the road.
Do you think there is anything I can do apart from biting the bullet, i.e. writing to Toyota UK? complaining to VOSA? trying an independent specialist for repairs, etc? Any advice will be greatly apreciated.
