Description of the problem	While pulling out, into traffic, my tire caught some icy slush. It started to spin. As i was already on the road in traffic, i gave it more gas to go. The engine revved. I noticed the rpms had pegged around 6000+. I noticed no traction control, at least not how i have felt it in other vehicles. I finally got out in traffic. This is when my car went haywire. The dashed flashed a warning that my car was going into safe mode and would be shifting to neutral. Then there was a loud clunk and it felt like i got hit from behind. I did not, although i'm sure the person i pulled in front of would've like to have hit me, as he was blowing his horn at me and flipping me off. My car was now in neutral and couldn't go anywhere. I pulled to the side of the road. As i came to a stop my car engaged the parking brake. I was panicked and scared. I turned off my car. I called my husband. I tried to restart my car. It restarted but i could not disengage the parking brake. The check engine light came on. The traction control light came on. The brake light came on. My husband showed up and through trial and error he found out that he could only disengage the parking brake if the car was in neutral. He drove it around some and it seemed fine. I drove it to work, with all those dash lights still on. I called the dealership and got my car in. Within 2 days the dashlights had turned off and everything seemed to be normal. I took my car in and since there were no lights on at that time they couldn't diagnose anything. They told me it was a safety override and i just needed to learn to drive it. (i was livid, as i have had many problems with the transmission) a vehicle should not shut down in traffic. Luckily i was on a rural road when this happened. I couldn't imagine what could of happened if i was pulling out across 5 lanes of traffic or merging on to a busy freeway. This is unacceptable.

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.
