Description of the problem	Recall on 2016 jeep compass from may 9th- july 15 the crankshaft , camshaft sensor may only work intermittingly causing engine to stall. At 67,000 miles my car which always ran very well stalled, "engine shut off in mid flight" i was driving up a hill, slowed to stop and turn right when the engine died, completely shut off. I put jeep in park. Tired to restart which it did not restart and i waited an hour for the triple aaa. We brought it to a mechanic who told me he could not find anything wrong with it as the diagnostic tests showed nothing , he started it and claimed he drove down the rode and back and it was fine. I picked up my jeep and drove it home but was afraid to drive it anywhere. I called mechanic number 2 who took a look at it and told me his diagnostic equipment showed no code, he drove it and could not reproduce the problem he repaired the throttle body replace it and cleaned iac valve and mass air flow sensors. Told me it was fine should be ok to drive. I drove it off the lot not more than 15 miles as i was turning right slowing down then accelerating it stalled in mid flight car engine died. I put flashers on and put car in park, then 2 minutes later it started and i drove home. There is something very seriously wrong with this jeep it could easily be involved in a collision as it is unpredictable when it will stop, engine dies. I will take it back to mechanic number 2 for a second evaluation. I have called the dealer. They told me they would charge me for diagnostic testing and if no problem i would have to pay them $117 for the hour they would put the mechanic on it to check it.

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.
