Description of the problem	On my '09 two wheel drive rav4 i have a recurring cycle occurring approximate every 700 to 1000 miles. I have too much braking. The abs system feels as if it gradually is applied to a certain point. At that point i have the wheels pulled and the abs inspected along with the manual emergency brake. Usually, nothing is found. However, when the wheels are remounted and the vehicle is back on the ground, the problem goes away. The vehicle is in alignment. While the problem exists, on coming traffic pulls away from me to the right side of their lane. And traffic going the same direction as i am pulls to the left of their lane. My family has followed me and told me the vehicle tracks to the left in the front or "doglegs" down the road. It takes more gas pedal to maintain the same speed when the cycle occurs. When you lift your foot from the gas pedal (which i have had no problem with) the vehicle slows quickly. There is a rubbing in the wheels while the cycle is occurring. The delivering toyota dealer will not check out the vehicle; the service manager indicating there is nothing wrong with the vehicle yet there has been several visits to the dealership where warranty repairs have been attempted. I believe they have given up as the problem is simply over their heads. If other drivers continue to see the vehicle is not tracking straight why can repairs be made by toyota? The vehicle has appx 12,6010 and this has been occurring since 4661 miles. I now take the vehicle to independent tire & brake center during each cycle and pay myself since the dealer is no longer interested in the repairs and has indicated neither is the toyota representative.

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.
