Description of the problem	When i got in my car yesterday morning, my drivers seat was all the way back. I am the only one who drives it - it was odd that it was moved. Nevertheless, i needed it to go back into position so i could drive it. The controls weren't really working so it took a bit to get it to move forward. I noted it to mention to the dealer when i take it in for an oil change this weekend. I drove to work, uneventfully. As i left work, and got into my jeep, the seat was fine. Yay! I headed home. I was pouring rain. As i took a right, heard the car go "ding" saw the battery light come on and then the jeep turned off. I was driving and my car just turned off. This is the second time it has happened to me. The last time was january 2018 as i was entering i95. I turned left and heard the "ding" and off the jeep went. I had to coast to the side of the road. Dangerous! I got towed to the local jeep dealer by aaa and left the car for diagnostic testing. The results, according to the dealer, was that my oil was low. The cherokee turns off the car to preserve the engine. Even if you are driving the car on the highway. Just. Turns. Off. First of all, that should not happen no matter what. The human in the car is what should be preserved, not the car itself. No car should ever just turn off. Second of all, there was no indication on the dash or on the uconnect app that i was low on oil. And secondly, i was only a 300 miles over the mileage on the oil sticker on my windshield. I have had a lot of cars in my life and even the really old cars would indicate if the oil was low. This is a brand new car. Why would i think the dealership would put mileage on the oil change sticker that was wrong? Why would i even think that i would need to check my oil levels on a new car? And one more thing - jeeps are built tough. So why would the engine be that sensitive? So angry.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
