| Description of the problem | At first 3 warning lights were on where i was driving at speed around 10mph: check, 4wd, trac off. Then suddenly i could not turn the steering wheel easily, and i realized i was loosing control of the vehicle. I made a decision to move out of the busy road and turn into a small street. This i did, but only was able to stop the car on the other side of the street. As there were no car driving on the street, i did not crash my car. After the car was stopped, i noticed that an additional warning was on: electric powering steering system warning light. The car was towed to toyota dealership. |
