Description of the problem	Transmission failure with no warning, torque converter replacement $3,500 around 120k miles. Check engine light unable to be diagnosed or repaired succesfully since 100k miles. Code p0420 with no catalytic converter issues. Every o2 sensor replaced, code will not clear. Stalls without any warning, low rpm, rough idles, engine just shuts down. No dash indicator lights illuminate when failure occurs. Restarts. Oil must be changed early as it seems to consume too much. Undiagnosable. Have been told by every mechanic it could be computer related, timing chain related, regardless this 4cyl gmc has too many complaints for yheae issues not to have a recall. It is incredibly dangerous when random engine failure occurs and i have had more close calls fearing for my life in this vehicle than i can recall at this point. I have spent almost the value of this vehicle in major repairs in the year i have owned it.

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.
