| Check Engine Light On problems |
Check engine light kept coming on. Took to dealership and they said they repaired problems. Was accelerating from stop light on busy city street, highway frontage road and engine died in middle of intersection causing no power or steering and had to come/coast to final stop with no power or steering capabilities. Engine died and would not restart. Car was disabled under highway bridge in busy intersection. Could not get it started. Drivers would turn left from the light and almost rear end me because I was disabled right after the turn. Turned out to be the infamous Toyota recall and class action lawsuit of engine sludge. Paid $6000 to repair all car components affected by the lawsuit.
