Description of the problem	I have been having issues with my cherokee since early 2007; multiple issues including the car stalling, check engine light coming on/off, all the dashboard lights turning on and off and multiple attempts in getting the car to turn on. I have taken the car to multiple repair shops; both dealership and local repair shops looking for answers. I have been given the same diagnosis each time; the transmission control module is faulty. The transmission control module has been replaced (3) times and works for a little less than a year and then the problem returns. I first heard of the safety recall - ignition switch p41/nhtsa 14v-438 (as i later learned) from the media. I called the nearest dealership to inquire on when i could bring the car in for repair. They said they didn't have the part and to call back when i get a letter saying the part is available; that was almost 6 months ago. In the meantime i have also received a letter from chrysler informing me of the recall. That came almost 3 month after the recall was on the news. Yesterday, while driving my car all the dashboard lights came on and off and my car momentarily stalled while driving down the highway. These are the same issues i've been having where the transmission control module has been replaced and reading the symptoms of this ignition switch problem, i think they are related. I called chrysler's recall assistance center today and was on hold for 2 hours before i gave up. There was no way to leave a message for chrysler to call me back. The recall has been in affect since july 2014 and has not been resolved in a reasonable time. I am afraid to drive my vehicle as it is a safety hazard to myself and others. This is causing a lot of difficulty for me as this is my only mode of transportation and there is no repair in the foreseeable future.

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.
