| Description of the problem | I place 2 complaints for the same vehicle - on last 3 years, last complaint is from yesterday 06-15-2017 on engine section, the previous complaint was from 2016 electric system section. Defective engine oil hyper-consumption and oil sensor malfunction cause electric system collapse, car stop on highways, cause life threatening situations. After read hundreds of the same complaints here, i decide contact jeep headquarters and request valid documentation about car oil consumption. On jeep manual is 10 000 miles, or 16 000 kilometers ! For all who are surprise with dealerships information's about engine oil consumption , when they start oil test - here is valid information, which you can use on contact with dealerships. Please find online jeep document tsb 09-007-15 pdf form here is important part of document: the accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in the vehicles listed above is 1 quart (0. 946 liter) in 2,000 miles (3,200 km) for the 1st 50,000 miles (80,467 km). For vehicles with more then 50,000 miles (80,467 km) the acceptable oil consumption for engines is 1 quart (0. 946 liter) in 750 miles (1,207 km). On context with this information look on us government " emissions standards for light duty vehicles. Https://www. Epa. Gov/emission-standards-reference-guide/epa-emission-standards-light-duty-vehicles-and-trucks jeep cherokee 2014 engine oil consumption must be on balance with us gov. Recommended vehicle emissions. On case then oil is not leaking from engine, oil is overspend by defective engine construction - hardware, or software. Defective engines with high emissions must be recall - see case "volkswagen". After witness 8 times situation, which is describe by hundreds of people here, i know, then without valid information's and documents, we are not able make advocacy for our rights. |
