Description of the problem	This incident occurred on a tues nite in nov2012 at 930est. I had been playing bridge at a club house . I attempted to start car(this is a keyless ignition system)by normal procedure. Press brake, then press start button. Nothing happened! I waited a few seconds, tried again,no joy. I got out to maybe hitch a ride, but all others had left. I opened and closed all doors plus thetailgate. I got back in at the car started ok. About 5 months later after attending a pizza party at walmart parking lot 3pm hot day, the problem recurred. I slammed all doors again and the car started. I don't know if slamming doors is electrically involved, maybe a time delay is the answer. The next time was on july 18 2013. Ihad been playing bridge at the clubhouse at 1pm, i finished at4pm (another hot day) the car would not start i noticed thewindows would not work, in factnothing electrical would work. Icalled my road service and they verified bat was low, they charged for just a few minutes and car started. I drove immediately to the local toyota dealer. They could not make the problem reappear. They kept the car overnite and supposedly went overthe circuits. By the way the mileage on the car was 3947 miles and car was 14 months old! They told me to have it towed to them the next time but that's no always convenient. My 2 yr warranty expired in may of 2014 and i have had 2 additional occurrences ,one in june 2014 and onein july2014. Im afraid to go on any trps out of town for fear it will happen again. I would like for toyota to furnish me a schematic ofthe circuitry involved or provide a bypass switch so that the rf circuitry can be disabled and the car could be started like a normal car! By the way,this failure has occurred 6 times,4 times while in warranty!

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.
