Description of the problem	I had just gotten on a 6 lane expressway with a 45 mph speed limit. Hands at ten and two - just watching the road going about 40 mph in the far left lane so people could turn on the road. I had been having a clunking sound when i would pull out of my driveway for awhile but didn't want to go back to the dealer because i had just gotten a 10,000 mile oil change and after removing a tire with a nail in it found they had to order the tire, which took 3 weeks to get (apparently run flat tires are still in japan,,) so, i back to my near death experience- i was driving slower than the speed limit down the road when i lost all steering in my vehicle and i was headed into oncoming traffic. I hit the tall cement median and i pulled as hard as i could back to the right. After i hit i had a little control again. With both drivers side tires striped flat i had enough steering to put my hazards on and get back on the correct side of the road and pull the thing into a side parking lot to be towed. I feel like the thing is trying the kill me! Warranty has to cover this but i think i'm gonna have to trade it in. Too scared to drive the damn thing. Atlleast i have two witnesses that can verify my event incase toyota tries to screw me over. Rav4s r dangerous vehicles and something has to be recalled or people r going to die.
