Description of the problem	When the transmission was not functioning correctly, at least one of these events would occur: a) the vehicle would not downshift, it would remain stuck in high gear. B) the car would not shift into idle at stop, then it would stall. C) when the transmission would not up-shift, the car would be stuck in "limp home " mode (second gear?). D) peddles would not be functional. The proper operation would usually return after cycling the ignition several times in order to effect a "re-set" of the transmission system. Before a reset actually took hold, the transmission would shift very "hard" and "jolt" onto drive or reverse.

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.
