Description of the problem	I was approaching a dip in the roadway and a sharp left curve on a highway so i slowed down to approximately 20 mph. When i was in the turn i accelerated and the engine didn't respond. I let up on the accelerator pedal and then attempted to accelerate again. By this time i had slowed down so much that i was concerned about being struck by another vehicle from behind. For the third time i attempted to accelerate and this time the engine responded. There was no check engine, check transmission or any other warning that something was wrong. I continued to drive the vehicle at highway speeds. About 40 miles after the previous issue, i attempted to accelerate to pass a vehicle and the engine again did not respond several times. At this point a check engine light illuminated and so did a service transmission dash board indicator illuminated. I then exited the highway and stopped at a red traffic signal. When i accelerated to proceed through the now green traffic signal, the engine revved up and the car moved at a very slow speed. It seemed to me as if the transmission was "slipping" or was in a much higher gear than it should be in. I had the jeep cherokee trailhawk edition with a v6 engine flat bedded to a near by jeep dealer. This jeep had only 800(eight hundred) miles on it. I was told by the dealer that a transmission hose had not been connected properly causing transmission fluid to leak out. I feel there should have been some sort of indication that the transmission fluid had leaked out. I believe that i shouldn't find out that the transmission fluid leaked out the way i did. I feel this is a very dangerous design. When i press down on the accelerator pedal i expect to be propelled forward. I was told by the dealer that the vehicle responded as designed. They said it was a "fail safe". This vehicle is designed with no transmission dipstick to check the level of fluid

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.
