Description of the problem	I got this jeep 2 months ago from a dealership in san antonio. On maybe about 5 occasions when i was at a stop light the whole engine shook like it was just going to turn off, luckily it never did. That is until yesterday, i got to a stop light heading home from work and it just turned off on me. No shaking this time, no warning at all. The radio and everything stayed on so i knew it wasn't the battery, and it wouldn't even crank when i tried turning the key just stayed silent. Mind you since there was no warning and i'm the only one in the car a 5'0" 118 lb woman not going to be able to push it somewhere safe all i could do was throw my emergency lights on and hope i didn't get rear ended with everyone leaving work (5 o' clock traffic was just starting) which i did almost get hit at least 3 times! After a couple minutes i tried again and it turned back on. I pulled into a parking lot and got on the phone with my dealership they're so incompetent though i already know they're going to say they can't find out why it happened. This has never happened to me before and i was freaking out looking in the rear view mirror seeing cars slamming on their brakes. This needs to be fixed asap!

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.
