Model Year	2009
File date	04/04/14
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After driving prolonged time on xpressway and slowing down or stopping, the jeep hesitates, misfires and lets out giant clouds of white smoke out tailpipe after accelerating with partial or full throttle. Almost caused major freeway accident multiple times trying to switch lanes or pull onto freeway onramp. Car been into dealership 3 or more times for same complaints. Since car throws no codes and dealership can't replicate the problem on their test drives, dealer just keeps handing the jeep back to me and saying no issue with jeep. My jeep has also stalled under hard braking on at least one occasion. Very dangerous condition(s) with no satisfaction from dealer service department. Chrysler also contacted and opened case file. They wouldn't authorize any work to be done to the jeep either. Car has been serviced properly, has 90k miles currently and a lifetime warranty from chrysler which seems worthless as chrysler won't pick up a screwdriver to look for problem if the jeep doesn't throw a code. Absolutely nuts.

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.
