NHTSA Complaint #10650251 — 2011 TOYOTA SIENNA

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A CLUNK. THE AREA WAS CLEAR SO I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE INFORMATION SCREEN FLASHED MESSAGES TO CHECK BRAKES AND CONTACT DEALER. I DROVE BACK INTO DRIVEWAY WITH DIFFICULT STEERING AND SLOW ENOUGH TO NOT NEED BRAKES. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE. I SHUT IT OFF THINKING SOMETHING NEEDED TO RESET. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. HAT IT TOWED TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED A FUSE ($445.00 + TOWING). MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO STEER OR STOP. THE DEALER STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN AND THE FUSE IS USUALLY BLOWN IF SOMEONE REVERSES POLARITY DURING A JUMP START. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 1 YEAR AND HAVE NEVER JUMP STARTED IT. *TR
