ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER, NO POWER BRAKES,STEERING ,ALL THE GAUGES LOOKED AS IF THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN STARTED. IT RESTARTED BY ITSELF AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHICH WAS A GOOD THING AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE CAR FROM THE MIDDLE LANE TO THE SHOULDER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH VERY LIMITED STEERING AND BRAKE AND DECELERATING RAPIDLY. *TR

STEERING
MY WIFE USUALLY DRIVES THE CAR AND HAS COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE RIDE AND STEERING OF THE CAR. ON THIS DAY I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN I NOTICED THAT CAR DOES FEEL LOOSE AND CAN BECOME HARD TO CONTROL. I AM A SENIOR MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WORK ON LOADS AND DYNAMICS IN AEROSPACE SYSTEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT HAS A POOR STEERING SYSTEM, AND BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH IN A DEAD BAND AND BECOMES HARD TO CONTROL. THIS COULD BE AN EXPLANATION WHY THE FRONT TIRES WEAR AT AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH RATE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN THE PAST YEAR THIS CAR HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES (52 DOCUMENTED) OF DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM 1 TO 3 SECONDS WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I HAVE TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNSUCCESSFULLY AS THE CAR HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY THROUGHOUT THIS TIME. MULTIPLE DRIVERS HAVE ATTESTED TO THE DEFECT. IN NCDS ARBITRATION TOYOTA CLAIMED PAUSES WERE DUE TO THE "TRACTION CONTROL" OR "ELECTRONIC VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL" KICKING IN AND REDUCING POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS COULDN'T BE THE CASE AS IN NONE OF THE INCIDENTS DID THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WHICH COME ON WHEN THOSE FEATURES ACTIVATE LIGHT UP. MOST OF THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON DRY, ASPHALT, AND STRAIGHT ROADS AND NON-HURRIED DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING. *TR
