While driving on a major highway at 65 mph. The engine shut off and all screens and gauges shut off for about 3 to 5 seconds then the car restarted on its own and began to accelerate quickly so I had to use the brakes to slow the car down. This event happened three times that day all on the highway and with the cruise control on. I called the Toyota dealer to have the car checked out the car was checked out no issues found. A few weeks later I got the oil changed at the dealer and after I left the dealership the roads were icy so I was driving around 25 mph when the engine stopped running and the dash went out for about 3 to 5 seconds and then the car started running again this happened again a few minutes later the cruise control was not on at this time. I called the dealer and an appointment was made to check the car again I also opened a claim with Toyota for this issue. The car was evaluated again still no issue could be found. The response from Toyota was no issue was found with the car and no further action would be taken by Toyota because nothing was found on the data recorder. This car is on a Toyota lease and I do not feel comfortable driving it and I will not let my wife drive this car my feeling is that someone could get hurt or worse and I do not want to see that happen. I have read that other ravs are having the same issue.
