In owners' own words

I was at a red light with my windshield wipers on. I then heard several warning beeps with messages stating "steering power low", battery low, and then the steering locked. I tried to turn the wheel after the last message came up but the steering wheel was locked. I couldnât accelerate. I had to park the car and turn it off and on again. This has happened twice now and Toyota says it is âfineâ. Engine

Engine stopped while the car was stopped at a red light, later at a stip sign and later while at a stop in traffic. A message popped up on the screen that indicated âEngine Stoppedâ¦Steering Power Lowâ. Had to put the car in park and restart the vehicle. 5 times it happened in one rainy afternoon while using the intermittent wipers and also while not using the wipers at all. Engine

When stopping at a traffic light, suddenly the engine shut off by itself and showed message saying: "Engine Stopped. Steering Power Low.". I had to switch to park and pushed the start button manually to restart the engine. This is a safety issue! Note, it happened twice after only purchasing the brand new car for 2 days. Both happened on rainy day with wiper on. Engine
