Description of the problem	I was driving this brand new rental van on a 4-lane state highway. I'd been on the road less than an hour when i engaged the cruise control. The van was in cruise mode for at most a couple of minutes when i sensed the van slowing. I looked down to see the tachometer at zero; i realized its engine had turned off. Very fortunately for me, there were no other vehicles close by me. I was able to cruise to the shoulder and come to a stop. I'm not 100% sure, but i believe all of the vehicle's power was off (for example, i don't think i had power steering anymore). I put the vehicle in park, restarted the ignition, and decided to continue on my trip. I ended up putting just over 1,000 miles on it over the next 7 days, and the incident didn't happen again. During that time, i waited probably for another 400 miles before i risked trying the cruise control again (again, when no vehicles were nearby); no problems again. Yet, this definitely could have been an accident-inducing defect had i been in traffic in which the uncontrolled decrease in speed could have been dangerous. This is of course a chrysler product, not a gm, my experience was strikingly similar to some of the stories i've heard / read about people driving cobalts. I did report this incident to the (alamo) rental car guy when i returned the vehicle. But again, after reading about the cobalt ignition problems over the last couple of weeks, i felt compelled to report this to nhtsa.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
