Description of the problem	My jeep has less than 30,000 miles on it and i keep up to date on oil changes (every 500 miles); however, when the 5,000 mile marker starts approaching i will be in driving in a forward motion and the dashboard will light up saying "shift to neutral or park", the gas pedal tightens up to the point i am no longer able to step on it anymore, and the steering wheel tightens up and i can no longer move that. At this point my vehicle just completely stops in the middle of driving. The most recent time (4,100 miles after my last oil change) i was attempting to merge onto the highway the other day and this same thing happened. It takes about 4 minutes for the car to start working again, but this is an extremely unsafe issue that should not be happening. I have had this issue happen multiple times in the past, and the dealership shrugged it off. I have had enough of this, a vehicle (even without a recent oil change, let alone a vehicle that is up to date on oil changes and hasn't hit the 5,000 mile marker) should not come to a complete stop in the middle of driving. This is a huge safety hazard. Obviously other people are experiencing the same issue. At any point, i feel as though my vehicle might stop working on me at a random time (again without any warning whatsoever) and cause me to be in a sever accident. This is not a matter to take lightly, i have been contacting my dealership and have yet to have any help/ issues resolved.

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.
