Description of the problem	I have had a 2008 eos for less than 3 years. I started having problems with the car after 4 months, it has had several repairs including electrical seat not working properly, leaks in window, cheap materials falling off needing replacement, brakes needing sooner than most cars (brakes are very long,takes forever to come to stop). At about 1yr i started having major problems with how it drove. It has been in and out of the shop, one time it was in for one month! It has had problems with lurching, surging, jerking and lack of power when accelerating or putting into sport mode, there have been numerous electrical problems and leaking from windows as well. They replaced one part (that was officially recalled) and the car drove worse. They finally replaced the transmission and now have a new rattling problem that seems to come from the engine, along with window button on driver side sticking. There is still times when i accelerate and there no increased power or i put it into sport and there is no increase in speed or rpm's. I have taken it in again and they have told me that it is no longer under warranty and i will have to cover costs that are not under powertrain warranty. With as much problems as i have had with this car, everything should be covered. I am afraid to drive this car and try to stay local and do not drive much if i don't have to. After reading other peoples problems i can see that this is a problem with this particular vehicle and there needs to be an investigation. I believe it is a dangerous car.

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.
