Description of the problem	Happened again -- this is the third time this has happened since i purchased the car in nov 2016. Engine shuts off while driving. Fiat dealer apparently clueless about the issue and how to repair. Took car to same dealer all three times this happened - each time they've given me a ridiculous reason the car is literally shutting off while i am driving down the street!! First time they said it was because the computer needed updating?!?! Second time (posted on nhtsa when 2nd time happened) they said it was a loose cable connection to the battery - never once explained why car was giving the alert "drive mode unavailable), and now this third time they said they couldn't get car to replicate the problem. Makes zero sense - car engine shutting off while driving and in motion 3+ times a day!!! Fiat dealer kept car for 8 days - at one point told me it needed almost $2000 of work and that the reason engine was shutting off while driving was low oil pressure?!?! After i questioned them extensively about the charges and the supposed low oil pressure - they changed their story and said oil pressure was just slightly below normal and apologized about the $2000 charges - said i didn't owe anything?? Again, they could not give me a reason why car was shutting off and supposedly they couldn't get it to replicate the issue. So i picked up the car and it hasn't died on me once - so they must have done something to it. Why the cover up!?! Why does my car completely shut off while driving?!?! Everything goes out when it does -- becomes difficult to steer and brake. Seriously scary!!!

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?
