What owners wrote
I was driving in the hov lane on the 170 at 6:30pm. 2/7/2020. There was a sudden white flash and explosion. All of the airbags deployed. I could not see where I was going. All I could see was out my rear window. I tried to steer the car to the side of the freeway but it stopped in the fast lane. All I could see where cars swerving to miss us. I didn't know if my hazards could be seen as I couldn't see my instrument panel. So I pumped the brakes hoping the lights were working and the cars coming could see them.
The car was in motion at high speed also does this at low speed, new tires brakes alignment.. The car has throws me out of the lane consistantly and has also thrown my family and I towards oncoming traffic unsafe to drive even to toyota dont now what a wrong, all new tires rims are good brakes I'm thinking something to do with the electrical steering
