Two weeks and three days after picking up my 2023 Corolla Cross from the dealership, I was in stop and go traffic on a busy road. I came to a stop at a red light and my car started making a continuous beeping noise. The display alternated between "Engine Stopped Steering Power Low" and "Engine Stopped Press Brake Firmly to Restart." I pressed the brake VERY firmly multiple times, with no effect. When the light turned green, I tried to move my car to the side of the road, but it did not move. The cars behind me -- including the semi truck directly behind me -- started cutting into traffic in an attempt to get around. I finally put it in park and tried to turn it off, which finally turned the engine back on. (I only had to press the start/stop button once.) Once the engine came on, the car worked normally. The dealership has not been able to reproduce the problem, but an internet search shows that this is not an isolated incident.

I was at a stoplight and the car cut off. Not the normal auto power down feature, there was no power. A message saying press the brake down to restart appeared. Then a message saying steering power low appeared. The check engine light came on. I pressed the break down, and the vehicle did not restart. I put the car in park then restarted it and was able to drive again. But at the very next light, the same thing happened.

While at the red light the car cut completely off. The steering wheel locked and wouldn-€™t restart. The engine light came on and it said -€œpower steering low-€. I had just left the dealership. The car only had 21 miles on it. Traffic had to go around me and it was very scary being stuck not able to move.

This is a new Corolla cross 2023 FWD car just bought one month only. It keeps stalling out during stop at traffic light on the road, the dashboard showed -€œIgnition on-€, -€œSteering power low-€, -€œengine check signal-€, warning beeps and then the car was locked. This happened 5 times within 2 weeks. This is a safety issue. First time (01/28/2023) getting towed car back to Toyota dealership, the technician quality checked and no code was found. They just changed the battery and gave back to me. However, 3 days later, vehicle-€™s engine was stopped and same situation happened again. Now the vehicle sent back to dealership again and wait for further investigation. This is a repeat problem!! Safety issue!!

This is the second time I am reporting this issues. This time I got a video of it. On Feb 2, I was, again, at a red light and a buzzing alarm started going off with the error showing as -€œEngine Stopped. Steering Power Low.-€ Then it would flicker to show -€œEngine Stopped. Press brake firmly to restart.-€ At the top it said -€œIgnition On-€. When it does this I can-€™t drive the vehicle. I have to put it in park and then restart the vehicle from the start/stop button.

I was stopped at a light and the check engine light came on, warning sounds and low steering power light flashed. Car would not move. I was able to put the car in park and turn off and back on and was able to proceed. Dealer found no error codes or defects when I took it to the dealership. They are keeping it for more diagnostics.

I put the car in park turned the car off and back on and then the system reset and I was able to drive normally. This is a brand new car that I purchased Monday (2 days ago)

I was parked at a red light. After maybe 30 seconds of my foot on the break an error message came up saying "Ignition on: power steering low, press brake firmly to restart." The message was flashing and with all the commotion I didn't get to see what the rest of the message read. There was also a buzzer sound going off for the entire duration. The car engine was off, the steering locked, and pressing the break did nothing. I had to shift to P and then restart the car. [What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request"] Yes, my car will be available for inspection. [How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?] The light turned green and I was in the middle lane. I had no way of pulling over. [Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center?] No, I will be taking it to the dealer ASAP. [Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?] No. [Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear"] No, there were no messages or any indication that there was an issue.

I had stopped at a red like like normal and when I attempted to release the brake to move forward, the engine turned off and displayed a warning sign on the dashboard "engine steering low". I was driving on the furthest left lane of two and because there were other cars behind me I continued to attempt to restart the vehicle by shifting to park and then pressing the ignition auto start until finally on the third try the engine turned on and I could drive on. I pulled over a parking lot but I could not get the the problem to repeat itself. This car had the "Start & Stop system" activated when this issue occurred, and it happened at odometer mile 104. I had a different Toyota model with this feature and it was not once a problem.
