| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2014 jeep cherokee. In the two years since i've owned my car, i've experienced 30+ instances in which my car stops working in the middle of operation. It's happened while i've been driving on the interstate, in the middle of intersections, and just about every other type of road possible. It usually occurs after i make a turn or come to a hard stop. The car will immediately, and completely randomly, come to a stop. The wheel will no longer work, nor will the engine. It comes with no warning. I will then have to turn my car on and off several times before i can get it in motion again. I've taken it to multiple mechanics and the only solution seems to be to get an oil change, though i am not quite due for one when this happens. After research on the internet, i've found this is a common occurrence amongst jeep owners and the car is eating through an abnormal amount of oil. Jeep is well aware of this problem and has done nothing to fix it. The jeep dealers i've taken my car to don't give any alternatives to fixing this problem. This is extremely dangerous and it's only a matter of time before someone is killed or severely injured as a result of this. |
