Description of the problem	My wife, my child, and i were on our way home when suddenly the traction control on my wife's 2008 pontiac g6 stopped working while rounding a sharp corner going down a mountain just a few miles from my home. The car slid sideways to the left mid turn and left us completely sideways across both lanes. I was in a panic as it happened so fast, before i could react a large truck rounded the corner coming up the hill, he quickly hit his break and veered toward the ditch, luckily he was able to stop about 3 foot from the side of our car. His passenger side front tire went off the road in an attempt to stop before hitting us. After taking a deep breath and praising the lord for sparing our lives i quickly shifted into neutral and shut off the vehicle, then immediately turned it back on and noticed the traction control warning had turned off. After quickly checking with the driver of the truck to make sure everyone was alright, we proceeded home in the death trap we call our vehicle. It was the single most scariest moment of my entire life. One month prior (in july) i had received a recall notice (recall 13036) from general motors that states they know about the problem, but do not have the parts for the solution. They claim the stability control, traction control, engaging and disengaging cruise control, panic braking, and park shifter may disable while driving the vehicle. Also the brake lights may not illuminate when pedal is pushed and will stay illuminated when the brakes are not in use creating an extreme risk for a rear collision. Again they state that they do not have the parts to fix the problem, but offered no solution for us while we wait for them to get parts. I called my local dealership in late july to inquire about the recall and was told the exact thing the recall states. Again, offering no solution or even a rental car for my family.

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.
