Description of the problem	While i was driving to work around the month of october, my car would be going around 40-50 mph and it will suddenly stall or power down and the car just shuts off in the middle of everything. Its a good thing i go to work early around 4-5 am and traffic is low or i would be in major accident and at fault too? This continues to happen. Sometimes happens when i flash on high beam and even when the car is in low speed around 15-25mph or turning around a corner. There is never a check engine light. When my car goes into stall, all power dies and my radio/cd/mp3 player stop playing my dashboard becomes all pitch black and headlights all die as well. I don't know how to explain this its frustrating and scary, i'm the original owner and i bought it brand new from my local toyota dealership. I live in wisconsin and the snow is coming and toyota require me to leave the car with them for over a week or so, not a problem cause i don't want to drive it until its fix. Its now after thanksgiving and the problem is still occurring i took the car to the dealership today but they wont even look at it until i leave it with them for a week. I cant leave it there because i need a car for work so i had to arrange car rentals first with my own expense and will be dropping the car off saturday. The answers they already gave me was no clue and don't know what's wrong with it with no check engine code. I don't want to be another koua fong lee. I just want to post this up now see if anyone found a solution and for my reference if they cant fix it. I want someone to have my back. The car is a rav4 2008 with only 50,000 miles. *kb

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?
