Description of the problem	I was starting to make a k-turn in a parking lot. I put on the brakes to shift into reverse. I moved back in reverse a little bit. Then i stopped the car and put it in drive, when the car suddenly lurched forward out of my control crashing into a garbage dumpster, frightening me and damaging my vehicle severely. I am certain i did not give the car any gas to make it go forward and cause that accident. I feel very fortunate that i suffered only minor aches and pains as i was 75 at the time. I still own the rav4 and have had no other accidents or problems since that time. Now that i see there are recalls on later year vehicles, i wonder about the safety of the 2004 rav4. I hope nhtsa can help me.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
