Engine cuts out while driving

Recommended Posts

I have an 08 Estima hybrid, on about 6 occasions the engine has cut out without warning while driving. What I thought was a brake pad warning light comes on the same time engine cuts out.  I can coast to a stop, turn power off then back on again and everything is fine. Car drives like normal. I can go hundreds of miles before it happens again. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome.

Sounds like electrical gremlins to me - much to my surprise given it’s a Toyota - but who knows what has been done to this vehicle before your ownership?

Seek out a hybrid auto electrician. I’ve heard good things of Kasper Krumins near Birmingham.
