NHTSA Complaint #11130928 — 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS

I WAS ALREADY DRIVING (HIGHWAY) FOR OVER 30 MINUTES THIS MORNING (24 SEPT 2018) AND EXITED TO THE CITY STREET. AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN (ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER THE TURN AND NOW ON A STRAIGHT ROAD) I MOMENTARILY LOST CONTROL OF STEERING - THE CAR JUST MOVED INTO THE OPPOSITE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND I SLOWED DOWN AND TRY TO CONTROL IT AND I SWAYED BOTH WAYS BEFORE I WAS STABLE AGAIN. (LUCKILY THERE WERE ONLY A FEW CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF TRAFFIC) IT HAPPENED SO FAST (2-3 SECONDS MAX) AND WHILE A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND AN AUDIBLE SOUND - I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. I MANAGED TO DRIVE ONTO A VACANT PARKING LOT, OBSERVED THE STEERING AND WHEN I FELT I HAD CONTROL I DROVE ANOTHER 10 MINUTES TO WORK, THIS TIME HAD NO PROBLEMS NOR SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. IT WAS LIGHTLY RAINING AND ROAD WAS WET.*DT*JB
