| Description of the problem | I have 2006 toyota rav4-battery warning lights flips and go,- when i was driving in freeway 68mph, battery warning signals flips two times while i try to accelerate the vehicle. And also all warning signals, check engine, tcs, vsc, 4 wd, break, and airbag signals came and vehicle lost all electrical power, steering become hard and break didn't work, i had to pull over the vehicle in freeway. It happed two times, still the battery signals are flips when push the gas. I had to tow this vehicle two times. I check this car with three mechanics and autozone, they could not find out any problem,. They all said battery and alternators are working good ( battery and alternators are replaced two ears ago. I have seen many 2006 toyota rav4 customers experiencing the same problem. Driving this vehicle is scary and life threatening.
