Description of the problem	While merging onto the 110s from the 10e, the engine turned itself off. I was going almost 60 mph. The steering column was completely locked into place as the vehicle began to slow, preventing me from being able to steer effectively. I had my two children in the car - my 1 year old daughter and my 7 year old son. Luckily, i was not involved in an accident. I wasn't able to get onto a shoulder completely as i couldn't steer. I turned the key into the engine off position, waited a few seconds and turned the engine over. It started with no problem. However the check engine light turned on. The engine light was no longer on when i started the car several days later - i didn't drive it for obvious safety reasons. I took the vehicle to a mechanic for a diagnostic who told me that the vehicle is in need of a new crank shaft sensor and two cam shaft sensors - that all three should be replaced at the same time. I called jeep, after a friend sent me a recall notice on 2016 jeep compasses with this same issue. I was informed that my car's vin did not match the vehicles that were recalled despite experiencing the same dangerous mechanical malfunction.

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.
