Description of the problem	We've replaced the shifter cable on the fiat twice on our own. Recently, fiat replaced it under recall no. 19v817000. Fiat's replacement cable/bushing lasted three shifts. Shifted into drive to leave the dealership. Shifted into park at home. Shifted into drive on next use and the cable was detached. Fiat's solution is not an improvement. Comparing the replacement bushing with the old bushing, there isn't any difference that will prevent this issue. This is a dangerous issue. The first time it occurred we were stuck in the middle of the street from reversing out of a parking sport and the cable bushing failing when we went to put it in drive. The repaid under 19v817000 is not a corrective repair.

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.

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