Description of the problem	First problem was the vehicle would not crank. The vehicle had to be jumped off and then it cranked quickly. While driving the vehicle, the window control, speakers and heater would go in/ out of operation. The speakers in all four doors would go out then come back on at different times. Sometimes they would work all at once, other times one, two or even three may come on and off. The heater would come on blowing some times then cuts off again and again. The heater blower would also blow at one speed then blow at another speed without anyone changing the settings. The window controls will make the heater blow stronger, then when the window control is released it will cut the heater off. The rear passenger window controls will not work at all. The rear passengers also can not get out of the vehicle. The vehicle has to be open from the outside for individuals sitting in the second row seats. The only control that will work the rear passenger windows is the driver side control. The vehicle also has a light smoke smell coming from the vents. The passenger side door in the front will open for the passenger sometimes then at other times someone will have to open the door from the outside. The vehicle will not crank back up after been cut off, it always has to be jumped off. The battery is drained everytime the vehicle is sitting down and not being operated. The vehicle was taken to the dealership numerous times without being fixed. Gm corporation was called and i was informed a recall was on some vehicles but not others. I was told that my vehicle was not listed as one thou.

They also informed me that i was not covered by my 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.
