Description of the problem	Toyota rav4 limited-at all times of incidences this vehicle was in motion. Safety issue!!! 1. I purchased the vehicle march 26, 2016, to commute to new job. 2. Highway-warning 1 on apx 4/4 monday (9 days after purchase) "check toyota park assist have vehicle checked by a dealer" the cause was snow on sensors.... Since we are in montana there will be snow on sensors at least 8 months a year. 4. Highway-warning 2 on apx 4/18/16 "awd system malffunction 2 wheeldrive mode engaged dealer said loose gas cap caused this. 5. Hiway-apx 4/12/16-4/14/16 i was passing a double car hauler. The car hauler was going about 50-60 on incline around a corner. I was going 80 (speed limit) with 2 vehicles behind me at the same speed. We were all passing the car hauler. All of a sudden warning sounds in front of car went off and car braked to almost an immediate stop then alarms in back of cars were going off because the cars behind me were coming up on my rear. I pressed the gas and the brake and nothing, turned the wheel toward left and car started to go. I am fearful of this vehicle. I am a widow and am afraid to put my children in it. I parked the car after this incident and contacted toyota manufacturer. They rejected repurchase. I had been in constant contact with dealer (over 20 logged calls and almost 100 texts) they offered to trade vehicle at $28k for a vehicle that was 2 weeks old. I owed $34k on it. That is a loss of $6000 in 2 weeks on a vehicle with safety issues. The car had 63 miles on it when i drove it off the lot, i drove from dealership to home which was 225+ miles. Then i commuted from home to new job from (80 miles each way to work) from march 28-april 18=16 work days and 1 or 2 overtime days/visit friends (3,168 miles) i am at about 3,300 miles now.

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.
