Description of the problem	November 6 2014 i purchased a 2008 pontiac g6 i had a scheduled visit to repair a cracked gauge cluster, a seat repair and repair of my adjustable pedals while on the way to the dealer for repairs i noticed a hesitation in my transmission when shifting from 1st to 2nd. I notified the service writer of that happening and she said they would look into it. I was given a 3 month 3000 mile warranty that said nothing about who would pay for any repairs. It was in service at least a week. They call and say it. S ready and i pick it up it drives fine for 8 days and the electronics stop working all the warning lights are on abs, traction control the odometer read the word error and my transmission wouldn't shift right. I drove it right back and they took it in for repair. This time they have it for 2 weeks ( i have the paperwork to prove this ). They finally call and tell me it's ready i pick it up no charge again and it drives fine for 4 days. Same electronic problem happens again. And now it won't start. I have it towed in they have it for another 6 day. They call say it's fixed i pick it up it drives fine for a couple days and it again all warning lights on won't shift right traction control not working and the odometer reads error again. This time i don't shut it off and drive it right there i could not afford another tow charge i'm on a fixed income. They have it for another 10 days. They call me tell me it's fixed for the 5th time i go pick it up 6 days later the transmission is slipping i bring it in they tell me it needs a rebuild far $2357. 00 and because it is a different problem i have to pay half of the price. I was told by a sae certified master mechanic that multiple computer failures may have prematurely cause the internal hard parts of the transmission to fail it has 60,820 miles on it well under gm mileage warranty. Called gm they side with the dealer

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
