Description of the problem	Beginning of feb., lost power on freeway. Went from 65 to 40 mph and could not accelerate. Engine and traction lights came on. Exited the fwy and drove to dealer where i was turned away due to high volume. Left my jeep at the dealer the following day with this issue and to correct campaign #v51 recall. The engine light wasn't lit anymore and dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it so i picked it up. Couple of weeks later, i failed the smog check i need to register my jeep, and an engine code showed up, p0394. I took it to other places where the same code showed up and was recommended to take it back to the dealer. Going downhill, my father experienced the same while driving my jeep. Beginning of march, omw to the dealer on the fwy, i lost power again and the engine and traction lights came on. I showed the dashboard to the service advisor, explained the continued problem and the code showing up. I left my jeep there for several days because they couldn't reproduce the problem and didn't know what was causing it. The code was cleared when i picked it up. The following day, as i was making a right turn into a parking lot, the engine stalled. I used gravity to partly move back down as there was another car driving into the lot. I put it on "park" and i was able to restart the car. No engine light this time. This morning i lost power driving to the first stop on my street (stop on my side only). I had already entered the t-intersection but could not accelerate to turn left. I put it in "park" then back to "drive" and accelerated normally. There were no cars around because of the corona virus, but i would have been hit on the driver's side if a coming vehicle (who has the right-a-way), decided not to slow down.

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.
