Description of the problem	My wife was stranded when the engine stopped and will not restart. Mechanic made us aware he cannot fix as this is an issue under an open recall for the vehicle since november 2019. I called a jeep service center who said they cannot apply the recall work because jeep/fiat haven't made the parts available. Meantime we now have a jeep we still have to pay for even though it cannot be driven. This recall came out a year ago and i am told another year could pass before jeep makes parts available to service centers. What in the meantime are impacted jeep owners supposed to do, keep paying for vehicles that cannot be driven? Two years being without a vehicle is completely unacceptable. We had shut off the engine to refuel and the engine would not restart, stranding us. Our mechanic ruled out bad gas and indicated the tipm has malfunctioned. Recall 19v-813 addresses it (jeep's recall for it is v62) but appears another year will pass before the recall can be done. That's a year after the recall was announced. Again, unacceptable.

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.
