Description of the problem	Starting about 4-5 months ago, when coming to a stop or taking off from a stop (could be a light or stop sign) the parking brake would activate on its own, making the car stall. Sometimes i can make it to the side of the road other times it stops in the middle of the road. This would occur about once a month ranging from 5mph to 15mph. Started at about 34k miles. Takes about 5-10 minutes to get parking brake to go off and get the car running again. Now just over 50k miles it has occurred 3 times in the past week. First time was turning left at a major intersection, parking brake activated mid turn and the car stalled, luckily was able to roll to the other side and made it to the shoulder. Then it happened the next day coming up to a major intersection as i was slowing down to come to a stop. Parking brake activated, car stalled, got a transmission warning then a check engine light. I was stalled at the light for approx. 5 minutes before getting the parking brake to turn off and the car to start. Immediately called the dealer (crestview fl doge jeep ram) and was advised to bring it in. Dropped the car off that evening. Was advised the next day my oil level was low and this caused everything to happen, but they couldn't duplicate the parking brake activating on its own. Advised to bring back if it happens again. Occurred again driving down a side road at about 20mph 3 days after being at the dealership. Car is set to go back to the dealership tomorrow. Have also filed a complaint with jeep, currently waiting for a response. I'm scared for my family/myself/others are going to be seriously injured when this occurs at a higher rate of speed. This is my daily driving vehicle and i drive about 30 miles one way to work on major highways.

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.
