Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 60 MPH AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. CAR MADE A NOISE AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE IT WAS SLIDING ON ICE, NO BAD WEATHER THAT DAY. COULD NOT TURN STEERING WHEEL AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND WOULD NOT WORK THE REST OF THE JOURNEY. MADE IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, AND IT WAS "THE COLD WEATHER" THAT PROBABLY CAUSED IT. THEY RAN A FEW TESTS BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE CAR. NO ANSWERS TO MY PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAPPENED SINCE. BUT NOW I AM WORRIED BECAUSE OF THE RECENT RECALL AND MAKES ME THINK THIS INCIDENT WAS RELATED. *TR
