Description of the problem	I bought this car 27 days ago. Friday night, i opened my garage door and got in. It would not turn on. After getting it inspected, i was given the news about the electronic ignition switch. After doing some research online, i was baffled by how many people with identical cars dished out thousands to pay for the repair from the dealership. What was most surprising is how it seems to happen at just about 80k miles, like clockwork. My car has 78k miles. This repair won't be covered by the bumper to bumper warranty that i had just spent thousands on. Why is there not a recall yet? This is an extremely common, consistent problem among these cars. I should not have to pay nearly $2,000 just because my car is at 80,000 miles.

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.
