Description of the problem	At 12k -13k miles i experienced an engine stall in the early morning. The instrument cluster remained lit and i was able to engage the emergency flasher. I was on a back road and luckily i was able to coast into a driveway. After numerous turns of the key fob, the engine started. This incident was reported to the dealership, but they seemed to shrug it off. Fast forward to 10/9/15. I had trouble again starting the truck. I proceeded to the store and was on a main thoroughfare when i started to turn across traffic into a parking lot. The engine died and luckily my momentum carried me off the street out of traffic and into the lot. Cars had to go around me as i tried to get the vehicle started. The next monday 10/12/15 i had trouble starting again and i was able to proceed to work. At the end of my shift, it took a couple dozen turns of the key fob to get the truck started and i made it home. The truck now sits in the driveway waiting for a service appointment on 10/30/15. If it does not start, it will have to be towed. When i inquired online about this problem i was aghast at how many others were having the same issue as me and chrysler was doing very little to make it right. The stall of an engine in traffic is a very dangerous safety problem. The truck has a battery less than 2 years old and has only 35200 miles on it. I am not getting any check engine lights. It is serviced routinely by the chrysler dealer.

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.
