The gas engine will shut off to increase mpg. The power will then be battery thus the hybrid design.

SOURCE: Engine misses badly at freeway speed.

spark plugs? spark plug wires? coil? if it shuts off when hot, and starts when cold, coil could be problem....could be radiator stopped up causing it too heat, and will go off wait a few and it'll start back up...

No speed when gas pedal is to floor tranny light came on

With the oil light coming on and the brake pedal being hard to press I would say that the engine stopped hence no vacuum -no power assist from the booster.- hard brake pedal. The lock uo feeling may come from the engine seizing up while you were still in gear

Car began to lose power while on freeway then stopped

Sounds like the alternator is going bad and killing the battery.

JERKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS

the spark unit is shorting out to system ground. remove the spark unit and look carefully at where it is mounted and look for small cracks in the electrical insulation material that was poured into it at the spark unit factory. if water gets into this area, havoc occurs.
