Description of the problem	I brought a 2016 jeep cherokee in july 2017. I was having issues with the car the first month i brought it. Vehicle loses power while driving, engine shuts down, steering locks and the dash lights up with a message that says put vehicle and "park" and then select desired gear. This issues has happened twice once i was at an intersection and the second time i was on the freeway. This has happened 3 times in the last month. This is dangerous and scary as this could have caused a collision. I keep my vehicle up to date on maintenance/service. It doesn't make sense that i am paying a car payment, have less than 62,000 miles on a less than 3 year old vehicle, and having these kind of safety concerns. . Today, my car died with no warning on a busy road, gives me approximately 10 seconds to pull to safety before there is no speed/ability to maneuver the vehicle. It is ridiculous that the risk is so high, and the number of complaints listed on line show a serious issue with this among hundreds of vehicles by jeep and nothing. The dealerships/service continue to make comments like "we were unable to replicate the issue". To be specific: driving at about 25 miles per hour, straight following a right turn. . . . Lost power. Lights went on the dash, message above appeared. It took two tries to restart to get me out of the middle of the road. I had the car towed to the dealer and they had no explanation for me both times this happened. As soon as they would connect it to diagnose they said the codes would clear and the car was working. Its a waste of money because im going to get the same answer. I just dont know what to do now. This car has but my children and my life in danger. Chrystler and jeep will not acknowledge the fact they have a major issue with their jeeps engine. I guess jeep will resolved this issue when someone get in an accident or die.

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.
