Description of the problem	My husband and i were traveling to charleston, sc on i-26 to have a nice valentine's weekend. Everything was fine until we merged onto i-26 in columbia, sc, when we felt a small jolt in the truck like it was hesitating or something. So we dismissed it as maybe bad gas or something. It happened a couple more times and as we were passing a rest area outside of orangeburg, sc in the left lane going with the flow of traffic at about 80 mph, the whole truck just shut down. No power steering and the car will not crank in neutral. Traffic is pretty heavy on a holiday weekend, and i have tractor trailer beside me and behind me on a two lane interstate. Trying not to panic, i put on the hazard lights and waving out the window like crazy trying to get these truck driver's attention, thank god they noticed and the one beside me sped up and my husband was able to get over by the exit of the rest area. After thanking god for our lives, we decided to try and make it to a dealership in orangeburg. We get there, and after 2 hours they say it was the throttle body and a tune up $300 bucks and another 2 hours we finally got on our way. We made it to charleston and salvaged a pretty good day trip considering what we went through, with no problems. It jolted once on the way back about 40 miles from home. So the next day i remembered we had gotten a letter from chrysler, and when we looked at it we realized that the recall was the real problem. This letter came in september of 2013, and we have not heard anything from them since then, almost 2 years later. Also, you would think that a jeep dealer would know about recalls on all of the vehicles they sell when they put the vin in the system. Now we just use the one key, stay close to the right lane and hope for the best. Another car/payments is not an option.

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.
