Vehicle stall . show 'check hybrid system ' stop the vehicle in a safe place' dealer said probably inverter ipm failed.
Turning the steering wheel more than quarter turn. rattling, clicking noise is apparent out of center steering console. turning the steering wheel more than 360 degrees. there are several rattles and clicks in the wheel. driving is not affected. it feels as if something is loose inside the airbag. the main concern is a feeling of looseness near the airbag center. the vehicle can be stationary in motion. it does not matter if the vehicles in motion. the only thing in motion is the steering wheel.
As i tried to make a right turn at a very busy intersection, i heard a strange noise and totally lost control of the steering wheeling. i turned the steering wheel 360 degrees all the way, around and around, but the car kept going straight... after a minute or so, the coordination between the steering wheel and the wheels re-established and i could manage to drive to a nearby parking lot. the situation happened again in the parking lot before it came back to normal. we took the car to a local toyota dealership and left it there for 2 days. however, technicians said they could not duplication the issue meaning they could not find any problem with it. they told us that it is probably the electricity part! we are very unsatisfied with the answer and very concerned about the unsafe condition it may cause.
