Description of the problem	Car has approx 26k miles. Driving under normal conditions this morning and warning came on "service engine. Drive mode unavailable". I had the sun roof open as i was driving and i kept thinking i was smelling a hot or burning smell, but couldn't be sure. I popped the hood when i got home and didn't smell anything obvious. Don't know if this is related, but just had it in for oil change a week ago - they never reset the oil change light (which wasn't coming on before oil change - though low oil pressure light was coming on -- now low oil pressure light is off, but oil change light is on!). Again, don't know if it is related but want to give all pieces of the puzzle. Also my engine shuts off for no apparent reason while driving occasionally. Very scary! Took it in to fiat and they gave me a lame excuse -- it just needed some updates! To me that is just unacceptable -- what if i had been going 70mph on the interstate and this happened!? I asked them that exact question at fiat and they just shrugged their shoulders. This is a serious safety issue and it is shocking to me that fiat is not taking it more seriously! After the "update" that they performed about 8 months ago -- all seemed fine until about a month ago. Car stalled as i was driving -- seemed to happen only when i was going over a speed bump or a rough road. That was not the case the first time -- first time i was on a smooth, flat road. I really feel like a safety recall should be done on these cars because after reading about so many other people having these exact same problems -- this is clearly an issue!

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.
