Description of the problem	I was driving home and noticed a slight loss of power to transmission via the gas pedal. The next morning in rush hour traffic on i-20 my transmission failed. I was unable to move my car for several minutes and then it seemed to catch enough for me to pull to the side. I turned my car off and restarted it and was able to make it to work. I drove it to dealership and told them what happened. They called me monday night to say it was fixed. I picked it up tuesday after work. I was in rush hour traffic on weds morning and it failed again. This time it would not move at all. I put my flashers on to avoid being struck. I tried several times to get it to start again and go. Finally i was able to get the transmission to engage. I took it back to the dealership and the transmission failed again. I restarted my car and made it to the dealership. They said they fixed it. I don't trust it since they had just "fixed" it before and less than 24 hours later it failed again. I told them when i brought it in the first time it was a safety recall. I tried to recall all i could about when and where. My impression is that the transmission failed in all instances when i had been driving it for at least 20 minutes. I was in rush hour traffic but moving traffic the first time and the second time i was in stopped traffic due to an accident on i-20 and the last time also in moving traffic. Time seems to be the common factor, at least 20 minutes of driving time before it shuts down.

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.
