Description of the problem	Car is very young, 24, 781 miles and turned in by prior owner with 22,400's miles. After car was sold with a recall, it was noted it also suffers from oil leaking from the rear main transmittion, per mechanic it affects both the transmition and the motor, and could cause death if car ran out of oil. Leak per several independent mechanics is too soon for a fiat with so little miles, and a car that still owns the original tires, wipers, and still has the smell from when it was new. Car by prior owner was for vacation, but car now leaks and it seems many vehicles this year model have the same issue per blogs and fiat complaints blogs, unfortunately the dealer wont fix the problem and mechanics are in shock car was sold with a recall and when it was serviced they too refused to work on the seal waiting for the car to go through the bank first & hope for a warranty to pay for the labor and part, even after i offered to pay for the part while they were already in the car changing. Howerver, they failed to inform me about the issue, until i got home with the car. Issue is life threatening by mechanics words, and all 4 different shops demanded i either return the car to the dealer or demand they fix it before i would end up dead or in an accident on the highway. This issue should not be part of a young car, it should not be leaking from a seal, particularly the transmition main rear seal, which per mechanic it too affects the motor and the t ransmission ability to function on a manual vehicle.

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.
