Description of the problem	I was driving in the local streets, and while making a right turn after stopping at a red light, the front passenger side of the vehicle suddenly collapsed with no warning. I was traveling at most 10 mph. The vehicle has never showed any sign of failure or noise until that day. After i pulled over to the side of the road, i got out of the vehicle to inspect the car and found the ball joint in upper control arm had completely tear itself apart from the wheel hub. Fortunately for me, no serious damage to the car other than the failed components and worn tires due to my having to drag the car on the side of the tire to pull over to safety occurred. I was not injured in the incident, but had i been driving on the highway at the time of failure, i wouldn't be here typing this. Afterwards, we had aaa tow the car to a local dealership to see whether toyota will take responsibility of the failure of its part.*jb
