Description of the problem	Driving alone in heavy traffic, on a major road. About 6 pm. Warning light appeared followed immediately by whole dashboard that lit up. No previous warning. Vehicle lost complete power. I made split-second decision to make a quick right turn into small shopping center but only managed, without power, to maneuver vehicle on a slant up the incline. Emergency flashers stopped working shortly thereafter, so car not easily visible to others. No heat in car due to lost power and it was a bitter cold and windy night. Had to be towed to dealer at cost of $190 (insurance reimbursed me only $25). Cost of replacement parts plus labor at dealer was $1499. 87. I could have been plowed into from behind by another driver. I was vulnerable with no power to car. An online search reveals toyota has many irate customers re water pumps failing on their rav 4s from various years--not just the year of my model. Yet toyota sent no recall notice re this dangerous flaw in their vehicles. And they maintain that since the warranty expired, they are under no obligation to cover my costs. They have offered only $522 47 to me. An expired warranty is not relevant. This is a safety issue. Suppose i had been on an interstate highway with high speeds?

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.
