Description of the problem	I had driven my car to work without a problem which is about 2 miles from my house. After work i went to the store again with no problem. When i backed out of the parking space my car stalled. I put it in park and restarted it, but once i put it in reverse again it shook, and stalled. I restarted it again and gave it a little more gas, then put it in gear to back up. Now the check engine light is on. It wasn't on before all the stalling. I took the car home and parked it thinking it may be bad gas. A week went by without any problems. The check engine light was off the next morning when i started the car. . I came to a light and stopped, waiting for the signal to change. When the light changed i started to accelerate and the car started jerking a little and stalled. This is a busy intersection and i didn't want to be stuck in oncoming traffi as i was in the left turn lane. I put it in park and restarted it again. Again it stalled. I restarted it giving it more acceleration then putting it in drive.. I pulled into a parking lot and shut it off. After a few minutes i started it and the check engine light is now on. The car stalled 4 more times before i left the parking lot. I drove it home and parked it. I have read several other complaints that sound exactly like mine. I do not feel safe driving this car knowing it can stall at any given moment putting me, my family,and other travelers at risk. So far i have not been on the highway with this issue. I had it checked and the code came back as p0010. This appears to be a similar problem as the 2011 equinox had and it was recalled. I strongly feel gm should address this problem before people are killed.

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.
