Description of the problem	New 2017 jeep cherokee has completely and randomly shut off/shut down while driving three times. Extremely dangerous failure mode! Vehicle has less than 2000 miles and is less than 3 months old. First instance: april 27, 2017. Daughter driving. Going up a hill on city road at approximately 45mph. Vehicle just died. Almost rear-ended. Pulled over. Put it in park. Vehicle restarted. Second instance: april 28, 2017. Owner driving. On interstate 376 going 65mph. Vehicle just died. Pulled over. Put it in park. Vehicle restarted. Third instance: april 29, 2017. Owner driving. State road going 40mph. Vehicle just died. Noticed a "ding" sound just before it died. Almost rear-ended. Pulled over. Put it in park. Vehicle restarted. Took car to dealer - preston motors in new castle, pa. Explained situation. Told them "we could have died!" they claim they know of no similar issues or reports of this problem. I presented them with printouts of the numerous similar complaints for 2016 models on nhtsa website. Dealer is currently investigating and guesses (does not know) it may be a problem with the starter button (not the stop/start button). They are replacing it and will test drive it before giving it back to us.

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?
