Consumer Description

STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN OF 2007 PRIUS SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER ENGINE IS STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. DEALERSHIP FOUND "C1554 POWER SUPPLY RELAY FAILURE." AFTER CONTACTING TOYOTA ABOUT PROBLEM THEY LEARNED IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AT LEAST 10 TIMES BEFORE. TOYOTA INSTRUCTED DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC POWERSTEERING ECU AND 50 AMP FUSE/BLOCK ASSEMBLY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A CLEAR SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE (2007 PRIUS), EVEN AFTER EARLIER PRIUS MODELS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH POWER STEERING AND WERE RECALLED. *TR
