Description of the problem	I was passing a slow moving truck on a 2 lane highway when my jeep lost power for several seconds. I came very close to a head on collision. The jeep has had a no start problem since i purchased it 5 years ago. It has been in dealership service departments multiple times for the issue with no resolution when still under warranty. All online research points to a defective tipm and there are related recalls. The current open safety recall is number v62 with fca for the fuel pump relay which is part of the tipm. The loss of power is one issue that can be caused by the faulty tipm, as well as the no start problem my jeep has had the entire time i've owned it. I contacted fca recall assistance center and opened a case, informing them that i almost had a head on collision due to their defective product with an open recall. They told me there was nothing they could do but notify me when a fix was available. This recall was issue almost a year ago and involves life safety. I have no choice but to continue driving a vehicle that almost killed me 2 days ago because fca refuses to fix a defective part for several years.
