Description of the problem	Car is a 2008 pontiac g6 gxp - the car is called cybil due to it's issues going on one day and not the next. I bought the car brand new with 128 miles on it. Latest activity is the engine light coming on and the radio screen scrolling low engine power and service esc. If you turned the car off then back on a few minutes later it would seem to run right, engine light would stay on and 3 cycles later go off. Once off it would stall and lights and messages would go off again. This happened for 10 days in a row and on the 10th day the car stalled out completely on busy main road in the middle of rush hour. Managed to get the car started, moved off the road, and towed to a certified dealer. Dealer took 3 hours ($360) to run diagnostics on the car due to generic code of p0651 showing up. At time dealer moved the car into their facility all the warnings and lights had already reset and didn't present themselves. Diagnostics showed history codes for the brake peddle sensor (which has gone off before and was an issue before the recall notice and other $$ spent figuring out why tail lights went on and off at their own will) other was cam shaft sensor (which i see other complaints on) and throttle body sensor which i see no complaints on. There are service bulletins for the cam shaft sensor for the 2. 2 and 2. 4, but not the high feature l7y - this is a safety issue and if gm knows the sensors are shifting and pushing into something this needs to be recalled to fix. I am lucky i wasn't on the highway when one of these stalling issues happened. Car is currently at dealer waiting on parts to arrive to the tune of $700 - no christmas thanks to gm. The brake peddle sensor should be included in the recall for the tail lights and it is not. Please open an investigation into the cam sensor issue and make them extend the brake light recall to include the peddle sensor!

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.
