Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	During the first startup of the day (or after cooled down) the steering wheel moves rapidly from side-to-side and the engine surges rocking the car back and forth. The car is in park, and my foot has to be on the brake to start the car, but i'm concerned about this happening in traffic with the car in gear. So far it's an intermittent problem. I can't reproduce it for the dealership. The steering wheel can wobble at startup without the engine surging. This has been happening since i leased the car.

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.
