Description of the problem	I have tried to start my car several times with just continuous cranking. I called two different jeep dealerships and they said they have never heard of this issue before. Yesterday, i was driving down the street at 55 mph with my 5 month old in the car after daycare- and my car just shut off while driving and i almost crashed into the person in front of me!!!! Very scary. I had to swerve to miss the person in front of me because the brakes and car were not working- just completely shut off. I finally got it started again and got to a safe location. I then had it towed. I did some research to find that this is a very common issue with 2011 jeep grand cherokees and chrysler refuses to do a recall on this. Are they insane?!!! We could have been in a serious accident. If the car is not under warranty- the price to fix the issue is $1300+. I just purchased this car in november of 2013 because i thought it would be safe for me and my new baby. Now i have to dish out $1300 because of a faulty part that chrysler refuses to fix? They are very aware of the tipm not performing on these models- please research all the forums that talk about this. There is already lawsuits pending. Please advise on what to do at this point. I do not have this kind of money to fix a car with 39000 miles on it. I will never purchase a jeep or chrysler again.

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?
