Description of the problem	My vehicle lost power in the brakes, accelerator and steering wheel. Everything locked up while i was driving in traffic. I was able to coast to the side of the road and completely lost the ability to control my vehicle. The car would not function until i turned it off and tried to restart it a few times taking a couple of minutes. This happened twice on may 6th on a busy street, once on may 9th on the highway, and twice on may 11th on another busy street. There was no oil in my car. I was not due for an oil change for another 3 months or 2000 miles. No oil light indicator came on to warn me all my car kept doing was stalling telling me to shift to park. I was told by the jeep dealership that i had to have my car towed in or add oil before driving it to them. The dealer explained when the dipstick does not "feel" oil the entire car essentially shuts down and locks up in order to "protect the engine" causing the driver to lose all ability to control it. They might be protecting the engine from burning oil, but to lose functionality puts my life and family in danger. Jeep/chrysler have had this reported before as i found numerous cases of the same story. However no recall have been issued. I could have been in a very serious accident. I was not told any of this information when i purchased the car. I do not understand how many issues have to be reported before something can be done. Does someone have to die before this become a concern.

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.
