Description of the problem	I parked my car in the garage as usually (so vehicle was parked). On top of my garage there is my neighbor's apartment and my apartment is on top of the neighbor's apartment. I am completely sure that, when i came home the night before, i had shut off the car (using the push button- the car has a keyless ignition system) but in the middle of the night the car turned on by itself. We don't know for how long the car was running but it ran enough time to fill my neighbor's apt. With fumes and also the fumes reached my apt. Upstairs where i was sleeping with my daughter. The two of us (my daughter and i) were lucky because i had all my windows open (it was hot that night) but my neighbor ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks. At least 19 deaths have been reported nations wide due to keyless ignition malfunctioning issues. There should be some sort of automatic shut down after a certain amount of time but there isn't one in any car that have this keyless ignition system. Also very few manufacturers have added a beeping or audio alarm to warn drivers they have walked away with the fob but failed to turn off the ignition. I did turned off my car but still it turned on by itself, causing my car to idle in the garage for many hours. I believe the start/stop button on the dashboard of my car is actually malfunctioning. However when i told this to jeep dealer they said the car is perfect and they want to give me back only $15k. I paid $24k for that very dangerous car! Since the incident on september 16th,2017 i have been having anxiety issues and also i had to rely on the goodwill of friends and the use of a friend's car. I now need to move on from this incident and get a car that i can rely on and feel safe parking it in my garage but i want to make sure that these cars are out of the market asap so none will suffer what we suffered. Thank you. .. Updated 01/04/18 bf . Updated 8/20/18jb

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?
