Description of the problem	My 2018 toyota rav4 has stalled 5 times while driving on city streets in moving traffic, first time in feb 2019 while driving home from work, in april three times while driving to work and one time while driving home from work(rush hour). All documented with toyota. Occurs when i take my foot off the gas while driving, and difficulty restarting after it stalls with loss of power and sputtering. 'charging system malfunction' warning msg appeared on dashboard(i took photo and emailed to toyota). I followed instructions in 2018 toyotal rav4 owner's manual "stop the car immediately... Continuing to drive the vehicle may be dangerous". Had car towed to toyota immediately. 3 trouble codes were recorded p1603(engine stall), p1604 startability malfunction, and p1605(rough idling), however they were unable to determine root cause of stalling and refused to keep my car to do further analysis despite the fact that i told them i did not feel safe driving vehicle, and my car is still under comprehensive warranty coverage. I contacted corporate, and they restated dealer conclusions and would not allow me to speak to a field tech specialist. I then emailed and wrote a letter to vp sales of toyota, andrew gilleland. Rep from executive office called me. I asked for toyota to provide me with either transportation assistance and a no cost-to-me extended comprehensive warranty until the underlying cause is determined and without further stalling incidences, or a replacement vehicle. He refused, despite all the significant potentially dangerous safety issues in a vehicle with less than 9,200 miles. Toyota does not appear to be concerned with reliability, peace of mind, and most of all safety. I have a case # with toyota. I recently discovered there are several other reports on this site with same stalling issues as my car.

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.
