Gaal v. Toyota
United States District Court—Central District of California (Class Action). Class action on behalf of consumers alleging that defective inverters in Toyota Highlander HV and Lexus RX 400L vehicles cause engines to lose power while driving.

Drivers allege that Toyota has adopted a new warranty policy that extends the warranty period for problems with the defective inverter but has failed to notify or reimburse drivers.
