Owner Complaints (6)
While stopped at a traffic light in the rain with your wipers and auto stop/start feature on, your engine stalled when the light turned green. Your steering became difficult to turn, and a dashboard warning appeared saying "engine stopped, steering power low." The engine wouldn't restart for about 3 minutes, leaving you stranded in a busy intersection in wet conditions. This issue could involve the auto stop/start system, steering assist pump, or related electrical components that need inspection and repair.

Your car experienced a sudden failure where the dashboard lights illuminated, the brakes stopped working, and the steering became uncontrollable while driving. This caused your car to collide with another vehicle, cross into a different lane, and hit a second car. All airbags deployed, and the vehicle was totaled. Additionally, the phone charger in your car stopped working. The incident resulted in minor injuries to all drivers involved and was reported to police and your insurance company.

Your engine is shutting off unexpectedly while driving—this has happened four times, including once while you were reversing in a parking garage. The dashboard lights stay on but the car won't restart immediately; it starts again after a couple of minutes and several attempts. Toyota has replaced your battery and performed a DCM (diagnostic control module) reset, but they haven't been able to reproduce the problem during service visits, so they keep returning the car without finding a root cause. This intermittent stalling issue is a serious safety concern that will likely require additional electrical system diagnostics or replacement of components like the battery, alternator, or engine control module.

Your car suddenly shut off while stopped at a red light, and the dashboard displayed "engine failure" and "power steering low" warnings. When this happened, you couldn't move the steering wheel and the engine wouldn't respond until you shifted to Park and restarted it. This loss of power steering while driving creates a serious safety risk since you lose the ability to steer the vehicle.

Your car's engine is shutting off at traffic lights and stop signs, displaying an error message that says "ENGINE STOPPED STEERING POWER LOW." This has happened multiple times, especially during rainy weather when your windshield wipers are running. When it happens, you need to put the car in park and restart the engine to get it running again.

When driving in the rain and my start/stop function is turned on, my car will turn off and make a loud beep with a message stating “engine stopped steering power low”. The check engine light and the power steering light pop up on the dashboard and I have to restart the car. This happens in the middle of traffic and is scary to think that it can happen any time while I’m driving.
