Description of the problem	2012 jeep wrangler unlimited sport; 1st incident with hot oil message, resulted in dealership fixing the recall they all of a sudden had parts for (that were on back order for months-and for a recall). When i told the dealership i had a case id with chrysler, they changed their tune and had the part(s). This was at 26000 miles. 2nd incident: i had driven to ny from sc with no issues while driving. Next day, cold start, hot oil warning. Took to a local auto repair shop and they "cleared the error" stating there was no apparent cause and they "didn't know why" the error occurred. 3rd incident: called dealership i bought the jeep from and told the guy (whom i know by name) that i was having the same problem, "hot oil message." he stated, "hot oil message, i don't know what you're talking about!" really??? He was clearly lying, and i knew right then he was of no help to me. So, i went to the nearest chrysler in a town 15 minutes away where i had moved to as it was closer anyway... Letting the liar-part go, thinking the other dealership would surely do the right thing. This is at 34000 mi. The dealership has my jeep currently and told me today that the dealership i bought it from wrote "added computer to jeep," as the supposed fix for the original issue (recall). The guy at the closest dealership told me the computer wouldn't even "talk" to him so he couldn't diagnose the problem until he figures out how to get the 1st computer to "talk" to him so he can get to the 2nd computer and try to diagnose an issue with the 2nd computer. Got a call this afternoon that it was driven around town with no problems after clearing the error message again. Awaiting final results now. I'm 2000 miles away from being out of warranty. Researching internet reveals numerous accounts of same issue with many people barely escaping engulfed in flames jeeps. This is an issue. Class action sought.

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