Description of the problem	I am writing to describe 5 incidents within the past year when my vehicle completely shut off while driving. This happened first in may 2012, with a follow up instance in june 2012. After bringing this into the dealership, was told that this was the wireless control module malfunctioning and they replaced. 6 months later, vehicle shut off again while driving without cause. Vehicle shut off again october 2013 while driving at a speed of roughly 20 mph, followed by another shut down at 70 mph in late october 2013. I brought this vehicle into another dealership, who told me that they believed this was an issue with the front control module (after i told them the fix to the wireless control module did not work). Dealership also advised that a recall on the front control module for issues exactly as i described was in place for 2008 grand cherokees, but not my vehicle in particular. Upon further investigation with chrysler, vehicles manufactured dec 4 2007 - dec 11 2007 were impacted by this recall. My vehicle was manufactured dec 3rd. Chrysler refused to cover this under the recall but agreed to pick up the majority of the repair cost. My concern is that this issue is extremely dangerous - i could have gotten into an accident any of the five times that my car shut off without warning. It is very clear that my car should have been covered by this recall but was not. I am very concerned for other drivers of a 2008 grand cherokee that fit a similar description of mine - close to manufacturer date of recall but not quite there but having the same problem.

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.
