Description of the problem	I purchased my 2014 fiat 500l in march 2019 with only 54,000 miles on it. A couple of weeks later, i was almost hit by oncoming traffic while attempting to cross traffic at an intersection when the transmission failed to engage first or second gear. As i frantically pressed the accelerator to get the car to accelerate, the engine revved to approximately 5000 - 6000 rpms until the transmission finally engaged a gear and i was able to get out of harms way. There were at least two more very close, almost accidents, just like the one described above; as well as other incidents that happened such as changing lanes in a traffic jam and not being able to accelerate, etc. Approximately five months later (last week), while sitting in a traffic jam for about 45 minutes, i began smelling a burning smell. Shortly after, while inching forward, the car jumped; almost felt like i had been hit from behind. This happened twice. About five - ten minutes later, a message displayed saying to place the car in neutral then back into drive or reverse. I did this and then alarms started dinging and the check engine light came on. A couple of minutes later, when traffic finally started to move, the transmission would only go into 2nd, 4th, and 6th gears. When i tried to use the manual shift mode, it said gear not available. I managed to get my car home and to the dealership the next morning where they diagnosed the tcm as bad (code p1cb1). It cost me $1,221. 51 to fix! There was a completed gear shift module recall (nhtsa # 14v-103) in march 2014 and a completed reprogram powertrain control module recall (nhtsa # 17v-192) in march 2017. Fiat has failed miserably to fix this transmission issue and there

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.
