Description of the problem	When driving my jeep in the warmer months, if i travel for more than 30 miles or so the transmission light comes on and then the vehicle seizes. This happens without much notice and last week my daughter was almost involved in an accident because the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Driving on the san diego 405 freeway is dangerous enough however; i am going to land up getting killed if this is not taken care of. I have contacted my dealer and they say there is nothing they can do about it. Will it take a class action suit before chrysler decides to recall this extremely serious condition??? *js

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
