Power steering died when I was on the Freeway
 

I was driving on the freeway and the power steering died on me, the steering became extremely heavy and I could not turn it. I ended up on the opposite lane and luckily there were not coming traffic on the opposite direction or else I would be death.

Exact same recall is documented here for the Yarris http://www.autonews.com/article/2013...-steering-flaw

The steering is heavy as when you turn off the car, not sure if anyone here experienced this problem but it was a frighten experience for me so guys be extremely careful not to drive too fast around the bends.

Taking the car to Toyota tomorrow.

dammm

The steering couldnt be that hard without power assistance........

Meh.

Sounds more like it locked up rather than died. Similar to when you stall or turn off your car, like the OP said.

Thats scary...

What Panda said, I mean driving without power steering isn't that bad when you're moving, but if it locked up somehow and wasn't able to actually turn no matter how much force you use. Then, I think you have an issue.

No no no! Don't start a mass panic. OP did not say it "locked."

Until OP replies, refer to my previous "Meh."

Yeah, the steering on these cars isn't that bad. Even with my 2JZ in it it turns fairly easily. Hope you get taken care of OP!

Probably too late already!
One of the click bait blog sites will be running the headline "GT86 Death Machine Due Too Reported High Speed Steering Lockup" any second now!

lol ...big time

I'll keep driving too fast around the bends until further notice, but thanks for the warning mate.
Let us know what Toyota says about it.

Even if they find something it may not apply to us since it is right hand drive.
