Description of the problem	Transmission slips gears and engages very hard, causing the car to lurch forward. On one occasion i nearly rear-ended a car in front of me because of this. While driving at low speeds the car will shift rapidly between two adjacent gears, as if it is "confused". Car will sometimes not shift at all; the rpm's just sit at that threshold for a while before knocking hard into the next gear, again causing a dangerous lurching motion. While on the highway the car will lose power suddenly, more prominent when the car is traveling up a steep incline. You could keep pressing the gas but amazingly the car seems to loose more power when you do this. The only way to get power is to open the throttle 100 percent in which case the car again jerks into gear very hard. This situation has happened plenty of times and is very scary. On some occasions the power was needed to accelerate in front of another car in another lane, to avoid an obstacle in the roadway. The latest incident that occurred was very scary. The transmission was making a funny sound, almost like a zipper being zipped. This seemed odd to me because it sounded almost like the gears were rubbing up against something, however i didn't think anything of it because the car seemed to be operating properly. Then i went to make a left turn across cross traffic. When there was a break in traffic i pressed the gas, the rpms went up to about 5k and the car slowly grinded into gear, almost like a person who doesn't know how to drive a stick shift very well. This caused my car to nearly get stuck in the middle of an active intersection and i was nearly t-boned. Thank good the other drivers saw me struggling and stopped. The issues with this powertrain seem to be endless and the worst part is that they occur at random with no warning.

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.
