| Description of the problem | Engine oil consumption and oil sensor on jeep cherokee 2014 - sport engine caused on last 3 years several life threatening situations not just for me,but also for cars driving around me on highways. Each time i call dealership, dealership make technical control. For 2 years dealership was not able find solution for problem, recommended make oil exchange more frequently the 5000 miles for prevent problems ! Last year 2016 was on jeep recall finally change oil sensor, but that doesn't help. My last life threatening situation is from saturday last week 06-10-2017. Jeep stop on highway, completely paralyzed for 3-4 minutes, just red battery blinking. I was lucky, maneuver with car and prevent several collisions with cars driving around me form highway middle line behind very danger curve ! After 3-4 minutes i was able restart engine and drive to quick oil, because from previous years experiences i know, then this problem is connecting with oil sensor. On car display was oil "good" on quick oil service, serviceman find then there is any any oil on engine he show me scale on which was residual oil which look like asphalt. By quick oil ticket i need oil exchange on next 1600 miles - by recommendation for dealership i change oil each 5000 miles, so accident is happened after driving just 3400 miles. Any oil leakage from engine was find, problem is caused by defective engine oil consumption. Manager from quick oil immediately call jeep dealership, describe problem on phone, send with me writing description of problem and data to my jeep dealership. The same day from quick oil service, where they put to jeep engine oil for free - i driving to my jeep northgate dealership and start engine oil consumption test - i have return each 1000 miles to dealership for oil consumption monitoring. Situation is very danger, need find solution asap ! |
