Description of the problem	Alternator seized on the car after only 33,000 approx. The vehicle is just outside of the 36 month warranty. Jeep will not fix and says it does not fall under recall p60/ nhtsa 14 -634 even though the issues described in the recall are exactly what happened to my vehicle. I called the jeep dealership and fca and neither are willing to work with me or do anything to resolve the problem. I'm told per my vin number that my vehicle does not have the faulty alternator yet it has the exact problems of the recalled one from the same year. Issue description- i was driving from nashville tn to naperville il and approximately 3 hours from naperville i stopped for gas and a break and upon starting the car the battery light came on. I continued to drive to naperville il and upon exiting the highway the car started losing power. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner and not like a normal engine. I keep driving and pulled into a parking lot. As i pulled in i lost all electrical components, including the brakes. The car would not start. Upon taking it to my mechanic, then to a jeep dealership it was determined the alternator seized and damaged the battery and belt. They refuse to correct it and i'm now paying $680 for repairs.

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.
