“I was driving in my 2017 Toyota Camry with 40,000 miles. I was in the vehicle with my three children and we were going to get something to eat. We were traveling on a 4 lane very busy street doing the speed limit of 30 MPH. When all of a sudden the car stopped with no warning or anything.the whole system shut down. I panicked because this almost caused a major accident. My radio keeps rebooting and will not click off. When I turn my left turn signal the car shuts down. I am very disappointed in Toyota and their treatment of my concerns. …”

NHTSA complaint #10947702, filed 2017-01, 25,094 miles“While the vehicle is in motion traveling straight on a highway, warning bell sounds and three warning lights are illuminated simultaneously and constantly: brake, ABS and stability control system. The center error message panel of the dashboard cycles through the three messages, as shown in the accompanying photos. While these messages are displayed, every few miles there is an apparent loss of power, slowing the vehicle. Pressing the accelerator further does not restore power. Fully releasing the accelerator for a couple of seconds and then pressing the accelerator does restore power. …”
