Description of the problem	On july 20th of 2010 i took my 2006 rav 4 to a toyota dealership in st. Augustine fl concerning a noise in the steering when i made a turn. Concerns i have this with experience include toyota states they have a smart team to quickly react to customers. I took my rav into the dealership at 1pm on the 20th and at 5 pm they let me know they would need to keep my rav overnight because they were unable to find the problem. The next day they were able to find intermediate shaft internal failure. I was lucky enough to have purchased the extended warranty however these 2 days of faulty product cost me $262. 52 when i had only a$50. 00 deductible. I was told i would split the cost of the rental car as the coverage only covered a rental if the repair took over 6 hours. It took over 6 hours to even find the problem even with the smart team. I also had to pay to have the 4 wheel alignment as i was told it needed to be done and was not covered under the steering repair. In my experience if something needs to be done as part of the repair it should be included in the cost. A doctor is not allowed to charge extra to stitch you back up after opening you for a surgery. Is this steering shaft internal failure the same issue i came home to wy and saw on the news? If so should this not be covered as part of the recall ~ ~ (tuesday, july 20, 2010--a federal grand jury in new york asked toyota motor corp. To submit documents related to problems with the steering relay rods in toyota 4runners (1990-1995), pickups (1989-1995) and t100 trucks (1993-1998). The subpoenas, mailed to toyota's u. S. Subsidiaries on june 29, come shortly after a national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) investigation into whether toyota notified the agency of a steering rod defect in a timely fashion, as required by law.)

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.
