Description of the problem	During a drive up a mountain grade in southern california and towing a recreational boat on 7-4-15, our 2014 jeep grand cherokee with the 3. 0l ecodiesel engine overheated (i. E. Coolant) and the oil temperature reach over 300 degrees. These conditions caused the vehicle to go into a very slow driving condition (i. E. 5mph) on a two (2) lane highway causing a traffic jam behind us and a dangerous situation since turnout lanes were infrequent. When opening the hood, it appeared that the coolant had sprayed out of the reservoir through the cap and onto the engine. We attempted to cool the engine down over a two (2) hour period and added over 1. 5 gallons of a water/coolant mixture however, the vehicle still overheated and had the engine oil reach over 300 degrees until we could park it for several more hours. The vehicle is rated to tow 7200lbs. With the factory installed towing package however, jeep curiously did not install a towing feature on the model to help with shifting, etc. The boat and trailer weighs less than 3450lbs. This is an unsafe condition and i am afraid that the issue has damaged the engine. The jeep/chrysler assistance line would only tow the vehicle but not our boat and was no help to us so we were left on our own during our 4th of july vacation. Jeep needs to provide a towing feature, install a heavy duty additional oil cooler and additional engine cooling provisions for the jeep grand cherokees with the 3. 0l ecodiesel and factory towing package from a safety and equipment reliability/longevity perspective. Please assist us. Thank you.

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?
