Description of the problem	I was driving on i20 in atlanta. In the left lane, of at least 6 lanes at 70 mph. My engine just stopped in heavy, high speed traffic. I moved to the right side of the road as car flew by, flashing lights and blowing their horns and was nearly rear ended several times. The jeep was hauled to a dealer where i was told that my timing chain had broken and had severely damaged my engine with 95,760 miles showing. I love my jeep. It is in excellent cond. And has always been maintained it to the highest standards, 3,000 mile mobile 1 oil changes, along with all other recommended services. Chrysler has known about this timing chain problem and recalled other, same year models including the 300, the charger and the challenger all with the same engine. The recall is # p01. Had i known about this problem i would have had the recommended repairs done that would have cost a few hundred dollars for parts and 5 to 6 hours labor. Instead, i had to pay over $7,000. For the engine repairs. About as much as my car is actually work! Yes this was expensive but more important was the "where and how" this happened. It was a very dangerous high speed, traffic situation that could have easily produced a huge, rear ending tragic accident and lose of property and/or lives. Why did chrysler not warn owners of the 2010 jeep grand cherokee with this dangerous, explosive engine problem that they knew was going to happen? Their recall included some 50,000 other vehicles with the same engine. Were their lives more valuable than mine? Shame on chrysler and whatever reasoning they used to put me and the other owners of the 2010 jeep grand cherokee limited 5. 7 at risk. If it hasn't happened to date, someone is going to be killed due to this dangerous situation that needs to be addressed by chrysler. Please help my to force chrysler to include these cars in their recall. These owners are in danger!
