Description of the problem	On friday, 9/19/14, my 2011 jeep grand cherokee almost killed me. I was driving between va and ny via i-81 for a family funeral. I stopped half-way there for lunch and then experienced a problem starting it. Hitting the start button, it would not start, and would not stop trying to do so - it kept cranking and would not stop until i opened the door. It did this 3-4x, and then it started. It had never done this before. I continued on, more cautiously. An hour later, while passing several big rigs, part of the electrical system stopped working. I lost power steering, accelerator function, and my dash lit up - and the engine continued running and even revved despite the lack of the accelerator. My brakes also didn't work for approx. 10 seconds. The road curved, and i almost lost control and flipped the jeep trying to avoid the big rigs, which were slamming on their brakes all around. Ultimately, i was able to pull over with no accident or damage and turned the vehicle off. After 15 minutes, it re-started, and i was able to get to my destination with no other problems. Upon arrival, however, i experienced the same things while testing it at very low speeds on back roads. After the funeral on saturday, i was able to get it to the local dealership, where it still is undergoing diagnostics. I had to travel back to va on sunday, and now have to rent a car, deal with long-distance repairs with an unknown dealership, and travel back to ny to get it once repaired. The dealership indicated it sounded like a tipm issue, which i have learned jeep/chrysler know about, but have not recalled. I have previously experienced minor electrical issues (flashlight never worked, multiple back bulbs, etc), which the dealership indicated may indicate tipm issues since the day i bought the vehicle, but were always dealt with as isolated repairs. Please help with a jeep/chrysler tipm recall!

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.
