While driving on hwy, suddenly engine light came on. Also I lost acceleration. When I press gas pedal no response from car. Vehicle was slowing down so pulled into gas station. When I stopped the car, engine light was still on, traction light came on and steering system light came on. Also engine light was solid and it was not flashing.

Steering locked while leaving a parking spot making it impossible to steer right or left. Steering warning light appeared on dashboard. I was a able to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle and tow car to repair shop. They found error code 1524 and after troubleshooting they advised that steering column had to be replaced. Car has 58k miles. Rare for this to go bad short of a defect in manufacturing in my opinion.

On Nov 2, 2014 at around 5:40am, after turning from 7th avenue to w50th st for about 200ft at manhattan, the power steering was suddenly dead. The power steering fault indicating light was on. When trying move the vehicle to a park/stand, the vehicle steering was very difficult to turn.

While driving the car, the steering caution light came on and the steering wheel completely locked causing the vehicle to pull to the left. Brakes where applied to slow down vehicle. Vehicle shows no recall for this and Toyota has been contacted a few times and feels this is not covered under warranty. Car has been placed on computer and shows many faulty codes, but they cannot figure out the problem, since this problem is intermittent. It continues to happen more often. Toyota will fix electrical steering at our cost, but not sure if that is, in fact, the issue. Seems like a costly fix to not know for sure and also a safety issue that would not be caused by wear and tear, rather by a faulty electrical problem. We drive our children around in this car and fear the safety of driving this vehicle. Toyota states that they have not seen this issue before. Very scary and we followed what the user manual states when this safety indicator comes on to call Toyota and stop driving to prevent a fatality. Please help. . . . 2 months later and no solution.
