Description of the problem	While i was driving on the freeway last night my car stalled. There was no warning lights, sounds or smells coming from the car. As my car began to slow down i was able to maneuver myself to the shoulder avoiding an accident. I put the car in park and turned the car off and attempted to restart with no success. I had the car towed to my home and tried starting it this morning, nothing. It would click, the dash lights would come on but still will not start. I contacted blue link and they told me all system we're green on their end and could not see anything wrong with my car and could not do an on demand diagnostic for my car, i would have to get it to a dealership for them to perform the diagnostic tests. I had no problems with my car, i activated the blue link product 2 days ago and now this happens. I see there has been 8 recalls on this vehicle by visiting this website. I've had this car a little over a month. How can i find out if any of the recalls have been repaired and if any of the remaining recalls could stall the engine. I was told about 2 recalls: #174 airbag control unit and #953 software update to engine control module.

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.
