Description of the problem	I received notice by mail in december that my 2011 jeep grand cherokee had a recall (p36 sun visor wiring) and there was a risk of fire due to a wiring issue. I immediately took my car to dadeland dodge chrysler jeep in miami, fl to get the recall fixed. My car was at the dealership for about 24 hours being repaired and the next day i was called to go pick it up because the recall had been done and the car was good as new. Fast forward to tuesday, april 14th and i am driving and stopped at a red light. My car filled with smoke and i could not breathe in the car. I had no idea where the fire was coming from so i started opening all the windows and noticed there was a fire by the sun visor. All of the electrical functions on the center console and the steering wheel had disabled and i was unable to open the sunroof to let the smoke out. I had to pull over, turn off the car and truly feared for my life because the car had filled with smoke and the sun visor was completely burned. The fire could have burned me had i been on a highway and unable to stop. I think it's incredible that i did my part, took the car to get the recall fixed, and was returned a car that was clearly not fixed. This fire could have severely injured me and i no longer feel safe driving this car. This model car has had several recalls, including one involving the breaks, and to be honest, i just do not feel safe driving it after what happened to me. I simply want back what i paid for this manufacture defected vehicle.

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.
