Description of the problem	Brake failure issue with 2009 toyota avalon driving slowly (10-15 mph) downhill on very smoothly paved residential community street; applied slow, steady pressure on brake pedal on approaching stop sign intersection. Felt and heard a ratcheting, sort of gear-gnashing noise in the brake pedal. Vehicle did not stop, but continued moving forward into intersection. Lifted foot off the brake and hit pedal again, more firmly. Only then did vehicle stop, already into the thankfully empty intersection. Brought problem to local toyota dealer's attention on february 12th (at which time, they brought to my attention the accelerator recall status of my vehicle.) while said dealer applied the accelerator pedal recall fix, they did not take any remedial action on the reported brake failure, although they did suggest that it sounded like a dysfunctional engaging of the abs. They said that their diagnostics did not evince a confirming problem code(s), nor did a short test run replicate the glitch. This is a virtually brand new 2009 toyota avalon with only 790 miles accumulated on it to date (the first 100 of which were accrued on the original dealer's sales lot). It is worrisome that such a potentially dangerous abs dysfunction should be showing up so soon!

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.
