Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET ON 12/24/18 WHEN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM (ENGINE, ELECTRICAL ETC.) COMPLETELY QUIT. I WAS NEAR A STOP LIGHT, SO I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND RESUMED TRAVEL. ON 12//27/18 I WAS IN MOTION IN A PARKING LOT AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME NO SYSTEMS WERE OPERABLE INCLUDING LIGHTING AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART WITH THE IGNITION KEY. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES THE VEHICLE RESPONDED TO THE IGNITION KEY AND RESTARTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. NO ISSUES WERE FOUND DURING THE TEST AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY DID AND AUDIO SYSTEM UPDATE AND I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP ON 12/28/18.
