| Description of the problem | After starting my vehicle, traveling at a low rate of speed, going into an intersection, my vehicle shut off. My dashboard indicator lights came on showing: engine, battery and throttle control. After sitting in the intersection for 3-4 minutes, my vehicle started again, but very sluggish. This occurred 4 times over a 7 day period. I go to my dealership, $175. 00 later, they inform me i was 4 quarts low of oil and as a safety precaution my vehicle would automatically shut down. While i'm driving it.? Where is the safety in this.? They also told me that my vehicle would use/require 1 quart of oil per every 1000 miles and would increase in oil consumption as the vehicle mileage increased. My current mileage is 47,000 miles. My owners manual states " if the oil light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for 4 minutes when this light turns on." no where in my manual does it state that my vehicle will automatically shut off while driving. I never received any warning or indication that my oil was low. |
