Description of the problem	I was driving 2011 toyota highlander, stopped the car at red light (intersection of catharpin rd and us 55). During the green light, i was trying to take a right turn on the light and the car did not allow me to turn the power steering (stuck) and on the lcd panel it started blinking message saying break malfunction, the car went on to the oncoming traffic lane and finally with some struggle stopped the car on the oncoming traffic lane. Luckily, no one was coming on that lane (my good fortune). Called the cops and they helped the car to pull on side of the road. Looks like serious problem with the car. Requesting the toyota take a look at the problem before someone gets into serious trouble.
