Description of the problem	I was driving on the i-65 south to alabama, when i started to loose speed i really freaked out, and i pressed the gas pedal a little bit more but i kept loosin speed, i managed to move to the right shoulder and the good thing is that my brother-law was behind my vehicle so he realize that something was wrong with my car and that prevent me to be hit in the rear by another vehicle. I got off the car and i tried to start the car again, and the starter was working fine, then i did remember about the complaints on these carsthat if you have a 1/4 of a tank of fuel the engine would shut down, and i had a 1/4 of a tank one of my brothers went to get the gas, while i was calling chrysler to let them know what happened with this car and the chrysler guy was very helpful and offer me to sent me a tow truck, then i mentioned about the recall on these vehicles, i told him that i would try to put gas and if it worked there was no need to sent a tow truck, beside it was a family vacation and the least thing that i wanted was to spend it in a shop repair. My brother came back and the car starter right away. My family vacation was for 10 day and i was using another car from relatives in alabama, i made the appointment with my local dealership in chicago i told what happened and the said my car wasn't affected by the chrysler's recall campaign n17 nhtsa campaign number:13v120000. But thy said they would take a look at the car, i bought it for service and they paid for a car rental but the technician couldn't duplicate the problem, they had it for three days and nothing, instead of replacing a transfer tube in the fuel tank but it's not in its recall list and chrysler would not paid for that repair, so they wouldn't do it. Even though i paid for extra protection for 60,000 or 84 months. So i guess they will replace this little tube until people start to die in car accidents.

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?
