Description of the problem	Catastrophic engine failure at about 124,000 miles. Luckily in the driveway where i had parked the car after running normal errands. The car would not start up again and had to be towed since the battery was new and the starter seemed frozen. I took excellent care of this car at the dealership and at a top local garage since we bought it. I was stunned that the engine failed without any notice, no warning lights, no noise, nothing. The local mechanic saw "chunks of metal" in the pan. I now need a completely new engine 5 weeks after an oil change due to a design flaw in my jeep hemi engine. I never received any letter or notification about this apparently well known and relatively common problem. I had every recall performed on this car. There was never a recall for this problem which apparently includes the intake manifold. The response from the dealership was that the hemi is a good engine. Really??? No apologies, no call from the manufacturer. Out of warranty, so it is just too bad for me as a customer. They know the design flaw exists but don't care about the customer. Just their bottom line.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
