Steering problem #1

While traveling 40 mph, car flashes a warning, "check hybrid system", and then the car shuts off. No power steering and brakes are difficult. The warning is only 3-5 seconds before everything shuts down. This is definitely a hazard to myself and others. If in traffic at higher speeds, there would certainly be an accident with devastating results.

Steering problem #2

My vehicle has 65000 miles and the steering would freeze up while driving on a local street and almost had a collission. First time I noticed the problem was when my vehicle had 55000 milea and it was under warranty. They replaced a part at that time and now just 2 months later I have the same problem but the dealership refuse to fix the problem. It is a safety issue and it started while under warranty. Can you please help me with this matter.
