Description of the problem	As i was driving home from the store this morning, i was taking a turn onto my street when the engine shut off and i lost power steering and brakes. I was barely able to muscle the steering wheel to complete the rest of the turn and avoid hitting another car that was turning to go the way that i was coming from. The lady in the other car was looking at me in fear with her arms raised like "what are you doing!?" i tried to turn the engine on several times with no luck as i coasted down my street forcefully pumping the brakes to slow down and stop in front of my house. Once i took the key out of the ignition and tried to restart the engine, it started. I did some research on the internet and this seems to be a problem with other models as well. There is even a recall on dodge grand caravans that were manufactured from 3 august 2009 to 17 june 2010 for this exact problem. I have read on this website and many others that this issue exists outside these dates though and that the dodge company is not doing anything. I have not consulted with my dealership yet but i am hopeful because they seem to be great people. Whatever the case, i do not feel safe having my wife drive my children around. I do not feel as if she would be able to muscle the steering wheel without power steering during a turn in the event that the car turned off in the middle of a turn as it did to me. This is a huge safety issue and there should be a recall issued to encompass all the years that are affected and not just the ones where people have been killed.

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.
