Was driving in West sacramento, when the check engine, check hybrid system alarms went off.within 1 minute, the car went dead, no power, no steering. If I was on an express way, it would have been a guaranteed fatality for me, my family and other cars involved. The dealership, Lexus of sacramento told me the computer failed in the car. The car has only 55,000 miles on it. I am concerned about the quality of parts used by Lexus.

  • 29,000 miles
While attempting to make a 3-point turn, I first backed out of a driveway onto the road, paused to check for traffic, shifted from reverse into drive and pulled forward and.started to turn to my left. As I did I experienced a loss of steering and brakes and the dashboard indicator lights all lit at once. My car drifted across the center line and I was unable to stop it from rolling to the other side of the road where it ended up perpendicular to oncoming traffic and only stopped when it hit an embankment. My car sustained front bumper and grille damage.
