Description of the problem	While driving the vehicle after just a couple minutes in my subdivision the vehicle stalled & would move. I made 2 turns, one right & one left then it stalled. The "charging system light" went on & said "shift to p then desired gear". After a few minutes it restarted. The jeep manual indicated not to drive it with this code so i had it towed to dealer & they did a pcm flash update. They tested the oil level & said it was fine. Next morning the vehicle would not start. Again towed it to dealer. They kept it overnight & changed the battery. They drove the vehicle, but couldn't get it to replicate what happened & indicated there were no stored codes. The following morning the vehicle started, i began driving around the corner in the subdivision after turning right and again the vehicle just stalled with same indicator light & message as the first time. Brought it back to the dealer & they said the oil was low, though the vehicle indicated 47% oil life with about 3,800 miles since last oil change, which was less than 2 months ago. Dealer told me to drive it for 1,000 miles & then bring it back so they can do an oil consumption test. Very unsafe to drive when it stalls, as the vehicle does not move, it just shuts off & didn't coast so i could move over. This is a safety risk & do not feel safe driving it, if this had happened in traffic or on the highway it could have caused a crash. I was told by the dealer this is a known issue by chrysler & that the vehicle shuts down to protect the engine. There was no previous warning lights or check engine notification prior to it happening.

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.
