Driving on the freeway, my car engine shut-off and breaks locked. Car will not start on the move so i have to bring it to a stop. The process of transitioning lanes without breaks was very scary. After the car was brought to a full stop the car was able to start.

My wife was coming back home after dropping our 3 year old daughter at the school. At a signal, while making a right turn after a red light stop, the steering wheel got stuck in the right-turned position itself. It could not be brought back to the straight position from the right-turned position. In fact, brakes also didn't work at the same time. As car was very slow (as it happened right after the stop for making…

I was pulling into a parking spot at work (california state university east bay in hayward ca) at approximately 5 mph. I applied the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, but instead of stopping, it went over the curb, crossed the walkway, broke through and knocked over a large bush, rolled down an incline for 3-4 yards, and stopped when it struck a tree. I believe the incident appears similar to the current…

I took the car to the dealer and toyota…

I was pulling into a parking lot, applied the brakes, and it suddenly accelerated. I hit the brakes hard and it stopped. Later, i put it in reverse, and it accelerated forward. I hit the brakes hard and it stopped. I was driving around steep hills, which i don't do a lot. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? *tr
