Description of the problem	My car engine started on its own after being turned off. I went shopping at walmart and parked my 2016 toyota highlander xle in the parking lot. I put the car in park and pushed the engine start/stop button to turn off the car. My family and i exited the car and i used the keyless entry pad to lock the doors. We shopped for approximately 45 min. When we returned to the car, i used the keyless entry pad to unlock the doors so i could put our purchases in the trunk. As i got close to the vehicle i heard an engine running, but thought it was the car next to us. I bent down and listened under the front end of my highlander and to my surprise, i realized my car engine was running. When i opened the driver side door and looked at the dashboard, i noticed a small triangular yellow caution light was flashing but i don't remember what the message said other than caution. If my car randomly starts on its own while its in a garage, it could cause toxic fumes to fill my garage if left on long enough, and could cause harm or death to someone who breathes it in. After reading about the brake/hydraulic recall on some 2015-2016 highlanders, coupled with the recent issue i had at walmart, i am nervous about driving my car. I wish i had read about these issue before buying my car 30 days ago. I thought i had done my homework and read several websites before buying the car, but i will read recall reports before buying a car from now on.

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.
