Description of the problem	I bought my 2011 jeep grand cherokee, brand new... Literally 0 miles on it. Beginning at just shy of 36,000 miles it began to intermittently have cranking and starting issues. Every time i would take it to the service center at the dealership, they could never get the problem to "replicate." after several diagnostic tests costing $104. 86 each, they found nothing. When the vehicle reached 38,902 miles, and after the problem became more recurrent the dealership had me to replace my key fob battery and update the software in my pcm & wcm. ($170. 00) the problem didn't subside, and i was left to deal with the problem which occurred at most inopportune times, but only intermittently... Until yesterday. After approximately a dozen+ attempts to get the jeep to crank and start, i took to youtube (http://youtu. Be/27xkm0faiwi) where i found that i was not alone. Not only am i not alone, i now realize what a systemic problem this is and that jeep/ chrysler/ dodge must certainly be aware of it. I took my jeep into my local tampa, fl. Dealer today fully expecting to get the run-around, and for the first time they didn't disappoint... Just as suspected they passed the buck. They charged me another $104. 86 for a "diagnostic test" (which i already had informed them of what they'd find)! They then quickly handed me a repair quote of $1,300+ tax. I called chrysler's customer assistance center (1-800-992-1997) and i spoke with a representative who basically after a 30 minute conversation of explaining my situation stated that if i would have caught the undiagnosed issue at 36,000 miles and while it was under warranty, it'd would have been covered. So essentially all that could be done was for me to leave my jeep with them for who knows how long and pay the assessed fee. She then added that i could file a complaint with the n. H. T. S. A (1-888-327-4236) to which i did.

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.
