Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway and heard a loud bang and all of a sudden when i stepped on the gas the transmission was skipping. I just barely reached a spot that i was able to pull over. When i tried to drive again i couldn't go in either reverse or drive. I checked and i was leaking transmission fluid, 2 hours later after getting towed to a auto body shop they told me the differential blew up and that i had to get me a new transmission. After researching online a saw this same thing happened to other people but toyota never did a recall!! Now i have to pay $300 to get it towed and another $2600 to get it fixed on a car that only had 51,000 miles.

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.
