I was leaving work and as I got on to the freeway, I noticed that when I pressed the acceleration, the car would rev and jerk. Didn't think much of it thinking I would make it home. By time I made it to the freeway, my car began to rev loudly and I noticed I was loosing acceleration. Around this time I was going almost 65mph. So I pulled off the freeway and inspected the engine, didn't see anything out of the ordinary so tried to crank it up again. Car crunk, �ready� light came on and so did electric vehicle mode. As the car went start the engine, the loud rattle and shaking of the car could be hear and felt. I was able to drive another half a mile before the car just shut down. They car would not drive over 5 miles per hour. When it shut down the engine began to smoke so I knew that could not be good. I tried to turn it back on and at the point I noticed I could not put the car into reverse nor drive. The �ready� light did not come on and I no longer had power steering. The following day I got it towed to the mechanic and was informed that I had �threw a rod. � I looked and saw that other owners had submitted a complaint with very similar issues. Thought that submitting this would be effective as if this issue persist. There may not be other owners who are lucky enough to make it off the freeway without having any acceleration power.

When I was making a right turn I heard a loud "boom" sound and had to grab my steering wheel hard so I wouldnt drift onto the other lane because my car was shaking and skidding then right after my car emergency dash lights came on and told me system failure park your car immidently keep in mind while this was happening my car only went up to twenty miles per hour with my car making a loud sound as if I was going 80 mph it sounded like I was speeding when I was only going about twenty miles per hour.

When I brake the car shakes a noticeable type of shake and starts to make a weird stalling noise.

When driving at 30 mph, car has vibration. . Took back to dealership. Brand new car, had to put 4 brand new tires on it. Could not get it to balance. . After two new tires. . After all new tires balances. . Alignment ok. Couldn't figure it out, because it still had the vibration. Talked to higher mechanics @ Toyota via phone said "nature of the car". Before and after the 30 mph it smooths out and no vibration.
