| Description of the problem | When slowing for a stop sign the car stalled once 5 days ago but restarted after shutting down and it was fine. Then yesterday morning it stalled 3x before leaving my development. I drove to have the battery checked locally and it was ok. I drove to the dealership who told me the problem was because the oil was low, that these cars burn a quart of synthetic oil every 2000 miles and "when the oil runs low they shut off to protect the car." what?? And how dangerous. I questioned a recall recently received about jeeps stalling while driving and was told it wasn't related. I'm really just in awe and disbelief that this could be a feature that the manufacturer planned for! |
