Power Steering Light On Problems of Toyota Venza

I was stopped at a traffic light and could feel the steering wheel tighten like it was locking up. When the light turned to green I made a left hand turn and had no power in the steering wheel. I manually turned wheel as hard as I could and drifted across road with very little control because it was extremely difficult to turn steering wheel. I pulled/ drifted the car off the road in a diagonal direction because it was too difficult to truly make a direct turn or pullover. The power steering indicator light came on. I turned vehicle off after I drifted to a safe spot and when turned it back on the steering worked. I drove to a repair shop but no diagnosis has been made yet. This happened on a major road but not highway. I suspect this may be related to the Toyota safety recall f0j (f1j) electric power steering (eps) electric control unit (ecu) certain Toyota vehicles 2014-2015. My Venza was not on the recall list but maybe it should be because the steering problem was exactly as described in recall.

The Toyota Venza 2011 has problems when the temperature inside the car is at high. The abs light turn on making it hard to steer. The traction lost control light also turns on. A red steering wheel light turns on. Once all these lights are on, then the ac does not work and the heat doesn't work either. In the winter when the temperature is at high, the same problem occurs. In the summer the same problem occurs only the sun heats up the car causing the same warning light come on and then I can't get any air conditioning again. I've had this problem for many years. Went to the Toyota dealership to try to fix it but they haven't fixed anything. They just charged up to $700 and they haven't fixed anything. They did a computer resets and computer diagnostics. The Toyota dealerships have tried to fix it but none of them are able to find out what the problem is. Also, when the ac is on during the heat up the engine fans that cool off the engine stop working. Our cars engine stopped all of the sudden really recently when it was really hot. From an auction.
