I have 99 4 runner and as i was driving down the highway my vehicles engine died, i had to cut across traffic without power brakes or steering. i spoke to the dealer about my problem and they gave me an estimate of around $1000 dollars, if u look on the internet there seems to be a lot of people with this same issue,i think there needs to be a recall concerning this issue because it is possible to cause a collision under certain circumstances. thanks *tr
