Description of the problem	On july 17, 2013, my car has made several incidents of engine shutting off either at intersectons, or while in motion. Good thing it does start back up but the check engine light was on. I took it to a local auto shop and it was diagnose as code to replace the thermostat and gasket coolant sensor. Two weeks later, engine shut-off again while driving several times. Return it back to the local auto shop and had them look at it again. They found no other problems. However, they informed me to take it to the toyota dealership, as the ecm may be at fault. On july 31, 2013, took the car to the dealership for service and after several hours, they informed me it was a faulty battery.! My battery is only three years old and i know its not the battery, after telling them to check the ecm. They wouldn't proceed until i buy a battery from them! On 8/30/13, took my car to another auto shop for the same problem and explained "the engine turns off while driving" issue again. They diagnose as carbon buildup and did a throttle body cleaning. Now its 9/6/13, and problem of engine stalling still persists!. One day, the engine shuts off three times while driving. Subsequently, toyota has another second recall on lexus and rav4 models this week. The ecm was recalled and replaced on my car on 8/31/11. Can the ecm be faulty again! Or other parts causing the problem be undiagnosed in light of toyota manufacture recalls. Symptoms: odometer light flickers and engine eventually shuts off.

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.
