Description of the problem	The first incident happened just weeks after i purchased my grand cherokee. I was on a two lane highway going 75 mph in the left lane. The highway did not have a shoulder to pull over on. There was a tractor trailer in front of me, behind me and to my right. My car suddenly started decreasing in speed rapidly, my steering wheel locked up and it was as if my car had been turned off. I had no where to go as it was sandwiched in between semis all going at a high rate of speed. I turned on my hazards until i was completely stopped in the middle of the highway. I put my car in park, put the key into the off position and restarted it. I drove straight to the tulsa,ok jeep dealership. To say i was shaken up is an understatement. They ran tests on it. Came back to me and told me the car checked out perfectly fine and either my knee hit the ignition or my keys were too heavy. My keys only had my car key, house key and my key fob on it and i knew my knee had not hit the ignition. I was scared to drive my car from then on. The incidents continued to happen over and core again. Sometimes at a high rate of speed, but also lots of times at a slow rate of speed under 25mph or while going from a stop to start (like at a stop light or while trying to turn). I continued to take my car in to the jeep dealership the entire time it was under warranty. I received the exact same answer every single time. They treated me like i was making the incidents up. The incidents started happening more frequently and after my second child was born we were finally in a position to purchase another vehicle. My jeep has been sitting in my driveway for over a year. We are unable to sell it for anything close to what kbb says its worth. And we also feel like we can't sell it consciously knowing it could kill someone. These cars are a death trap and because of financial situations families are forced to keep.

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.
