Description of the problem	I purchased a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara. The dealership supposedly did an oil change and after 3 months and about 1,800 miles of driving my oil light came on. I checked the oil and it was low. I took it to a local shop(valvoline quick lube) to get an oil change and they mentioned the oil plug was stripped and that there was silicone caulk to help seal the oil plug. At this point i had them replace the oil plug and was content with the service. After driving 500-600 miles after the oil change i checked the oil and it was low as if it was disappearing. No visible leaks in my garage and none in my parking spot at work. At this point i had to add 2 quarts of oil to get to read on the dip stick. This went on until my next oil change and i had valvoline look for any visual leaks. They mentioned nothing that would explain the massive amount of oil being consumed. Finally, in march of 2013, took my jeep to a chrysler dealership to have them start an oil consumption test. After the first 500 miles they stated there was loss of oil and made there marks and resealed everything for the next 500 miles. I took it back in at the next 500 mile mark, now mind you everything is sealed so they know nothing was tampered with, performance chrysler called me and told me that there was significant oil loss and they stated the rings on the pistons are bad and need to be replaced at a cost of $3,300. My complaint is, my jeep at this point has 47000 miles on it and they are telling me the rings are bad. I've had vehicles that lasted 120,000+ and no problems with the rings on the pistons. I have talked to a couple of mechanics and said there should be no way the rings should have gone bad that fast.

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.
