Description of the problem | While traveling on a parkway at 55 mph the electrical power steering warning light came on and the power steering ceased to work resulting in extreme difficulty controlling/steering the car. After getting the car off the road i restarted it and the eps was working. I continued traveling and within 10 minutes the problem occurred again. I contacted the dealer and brought the car in to them (the eps was working at this point). The dealer contacted toyota tech and the failure was identified and is being repaired under warranty. I searched the internet and found several cases of eps failure at slow speeds, none at highway speed. |
