Description of the problem	Takata recall. I bought my car only two years ago after my first lexus lasted me upwards of 350,000 miles. Keeping this in mind i found my 2007 is250. I was aware after buying the car (but 2 days outside of my dealership warranty fishy) about the passenger air bag recall. The dashboard situation is harsh. There is a very chemical smell coming from my dashboard, it feels and peels off like the foam under it. It gets ripped and torn to shreds from very little friction. I have read that some people became very congested and ill from this smell. It is very pungent. Now for my engine, this is a big one. As i was driving, my car starts to make a loud but hallow clunking noise. For a long time i thought it was my brakes, so when i got them changed it went away, for a little. Now today as i was driving my car (which is an automatic) completely stalled in head on traffic. Lucky me, ive driven many manual cars so i knew what to do. When i turned my car back on, it held idle at 4000 rpm. While going 20 mph it holds at 5-6000 rpm. As well as my miles per gallon/tank drop dramatically. While the car is in idle in my driveway, it shakes like a freezing baby throwing a temper tantrum.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
