Description of the problem	I was driving approximately 70mph on interstate 75 southbound wednesday may 17, 2017. All of sudden my several lights on dashboard came on - engine light, abs, electric throttle warning light. My jeep started decelerating very quickly. I put on my hazards as i tried to pull over to side of road. Once i was on side of interstate, i pushed on gas pedal and engine revved but the car didn't accelerate and speedometer stayed at 0. I immediately called tow service and brought car to ferman jeep in lutz, florida. At cost of 400. 00 for inspection, i was told engine chain guide failed causing my timechain to snap and shredded my oil pump and bent crank shaft. That was just the initial analysis. And ferman wanted to authorize an additional 400. 00 to look further into engine. At that point, we discussed how much repairs were going to be and our service advisor said at that point a new engine would be best. I am very concerned because a quick internet search reveals 5. 7liter hemi engine recall for dodge and chyrsler cars from 2009-2012 for this exact reason. My service advisor said the jeep hemi engine was same engine as dodge and chrysler engine involved in recall. I was at same mileage range that people discussed on internet within that recall and driving at same speed and driving automatic transmission. I contacted jeep customer service and was told they couldn't help me but would make a note for safety reasons. I really feel nhtsa needs to explore that jeep should extend recall to grand cherokee engines at 5. 7 hemi.

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?
