Description of the problem	I experienced sudden but momentary braking when traveling at high speed (> 50 mph) while either entering ro exiting hwy. This occurred twice in last two mons. I drove my car to closest dealership the 2nd time this happened (nov. 21, 2105; waldorf md toyota), who told me they received an email (but no recall) from toyota corporate about this issue. Dealership could not detect the problem or reproduce it so, as instructed by dealership, i called toyota corporate nov. 23, 2015 to get case number assigned. At one point, toyota representative demanded "what do you want from toyota?" case was 'escalated' but no case worker was assigned until nov. 30, 2015. Toyota corporate stated that the technician had to reproduce the problem and if they cannot, there was no problem and dealership would return my car to me without repair. The dealership protested and said they ot required to reproduce the problem as it was an episodic and rare event. Further, they would not return my car to me until the problem was fixed because it was a safety issue. Waldorf toyota still has my car (over two weeks now as today is dec. 9, 2015). They have not received any further guidance but are waiting for the field technical specialist to examine the car. I finally received a call from customer relations at the regional office (central atlantic toyota) to authorize access to the edr (electronic data recorder). This means over two weeks have passed before even the first step was taken by toyota to diagnose the problem.

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.
