2015 Toyota RAV4 Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1282720
Internal NHTSA #	10864472

Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Intermittent brake failure. Two instances of brakes failing to engage when pressure applied. First instance caused car to crash into concrete median; no damage to vehicle or structure and incident not reported. Second brake failure april 14, 2016 as car was descending parking lot driveway (downhill slope) and driver applied brakes. Brakes failed to engage. As driver was attempting to engage the emergency brake the car careened over a comment curb, through a chain link fence and into a gas main and apartment building wall. Driver sustained some injury to neck and back due to force of impact. Airbag did not deploy. Car was towed out of accident back on to the access road. Police officers in takoma park, md then tested car. Accident report describes "impact and damage" as "disabling", however owner was told to drive the car home. Driver is not fluent in english and due to translation errors the police report does not accurately reflect the actual cause of accident. Car is now at darcars toyota in rockville with at least $12,000 in repairs pending. Owner has auto insurance and car will be repaired or totaled out. However, owner is (understandably) terrified to drive the rav4 again for fear that the brakes will fail a third time - with possiblly catastrophic consequences to driver and others. Owner speaks limited english and is a friend of the family. I am concerned for not only her safely, but the safely of others either from an accident that could be caused by this car or a serious malfunction that affects a greater number of rav4's on the road. I believe this issue should be very seriously investigated before placing the car on the road again.

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.
