Description of the problem	While making a turn, the vehicle lost power in the brakes, accelerator and steering wheel. Everything locked up while i was going upwards of 25mph. I was able to coast to the side of the road, but completely lost the ability to control my vehicle. The car would not function until i turned it off and tried to restart it a few times taking a couple of minutes. This happened once on the 14th of march and once on the 15th of march. I was told by the jeep dealership that they are aware of the issue and have told people to make sure to check their oil. I was told the dipstick does not reach the bottom of the oil pan and only goes down about halfway (3 of the 6 total quarts the pan holds). When the dipstick does not "feel" oil the entire car essentially shuts down and locks up in order to "protect the engine" causing the driver to lose all ability to control it. They might be protecting the engine from burning oil, but to lose functionality puts my life in danger. Jeep/chrysler have had this reported before as i found numerous cases of the same story. However, they refuse to do anything about it. I could have been in a very serious accident if i was going faster than 27mph or if i was not in an area that i was able to coast to the side of the road. I was not told any of this information when i purchased the car
