The covering on the steering wheel at the hand locations has excessive wear and the plastic is rough on skin. The manufacture will not warranty the steering wheel cover because of being out of warranty I do not feel that a steering wheel cover should wear off in less than two years regardless of mileage which is currently at 139000 miles.

Car was on 2 lane blacktop in 40 mph zone driving apx 35 mph, a female, responsible owner/driver age 79 was driving when suddenly, without any warning, comes to near halt in road and pulls/hard to right hand side of shoulder off the road. Driver had no control over direction or speed before finally able to stop car on top of ditch. Driver was able to get car to stall/stop engine before reaching ditch and possibly a turnover. Driver had never been so fearful in her life, had she been unable to stop car it would have driven her over.reported situation to local Toyota dealership and they stated they could not;T find anything wrong with car sending driver back out on road with car, this is very serious situation. Thankful she was on small country ioad and not on busy hwy or this car would have "pulled/lead" her into other traffic, or worse, a sidewalk full of people and or children. She had no control of car for what seemed like a full minute or more

Toyota Prius prime 2017 lane departure warning with steering assist. This steering assist function does not work as it does in any other Toyota model. I have spoken with Toyota engineering and met with a Toyota technical representative and they admit that the steering assist function does not work as it does in any other Toyota model. As you will see from my attached document this function really doesn't work at all. I am not sure if this is a regulated safety feature or not but it was suggested by a Toyota employee that I make the NHTSA aware of this failure as it could be a safety concern that should be looked at. I have driven at least 5 Prius prime advanced and all have this problem in that the steering assist function does not work in any of them even though it is advertised and sold to the consumer as a integral part of the Toyota safety suite that is on all Toyota vehicles. This steering assist function does work on all of the other Toyota models as advertised and as a consumer would expect. Please review my attached document that describes the problem and my attempts to get Toyota to correct this problem. The stock answer I have received from most Toyota representatives is that the steering assist "works as it is engineered to do" my stock answer to this is why does it function differently than every other vehicle equipped with the Toyota safety suite. I have never received a coherent reply to that question.
