| Description of the problem | Vehicle shut off while my husband was driving. Took vehicle to dealership. Was 3 quarts low. We have been told by the dealership that their hands are tied, that this engine uses about a quart of oil every 1000 miles but the engine is designed to shut off before it would blow engine. My husband told the dealership that if they put an engine in a vehicle that uses oils this way they should let people know. We have talked to chrysler with nothing other than have an oil consumption test done which we did. We now keep oil and check on a regular basis |
