| Description of the problem | The car will shut down with absolutely no warning, doesn't matter how fast you are going. This has happened on both highway and back streets. I'm told by dealer that the issue is the oil was too low and that some sensor shuts down the engine. No warning light, nothing. Just happens. Can't believe this flaw has not been recalled or caused fatalities. The car consumes oil like it's going out of style. I bought the car used, in march 2017 with 63186 miles on it . I now have just under 74000 miles and have had the oil changed 3x and have been adding oil manually. I see a lot of this issues listed on www. Carcomplaints. Com and other sites . I've been told by a local dealer that the engine needs to be replaced, but so far have been denied by chrysler. Last time it happened was last week (10/24/17). Somebody's going to get killed! |
