Description of the problem	My wife's jeep cherokee 2016 while driving 3 times in the last month has stalled while making a slight right turn. The display signals engine, and battery flash and then the car dies with no power instantly. My pregnant wife was commuting during rush hour the last time this happened and this nearly caused her to be rear ended. Luckily the driver behind her was paying attention and avoided the collision. Now my wife was stuck in traffic with no power for 5 minutes until the car turned back on. After a lot of online research, i found 90 plus complaints about this exact issue. Apparently the 2. 4 l motor in the 2016 jeep cherokee has a safety feature that causes this stalling based on low oil levels. So this poorly engineered engine burns 1 qt of oil per 1000 miles, this causes your oil to run significantly low before the manufacturers recommended oil service periods. My mechanic inspected the vehicle and has come to the same conclusion, we will have to add 1 qt of oil every thousand miles. This car has less than 36k miles and will now require extra oil for its life, which is ridiculously tedious for a 30k$ car. However the stalling with no warning and causing loss of power in traffic will eventually lead to accidents and should be a significant safety concern.
