| Description of the problem | Purchased 2106 jeep cherokee in april 2019. Had car looked over and oil changed april 19, 2019 @30,141 miles. On 8/14/19 the vehicle stalled while leaving a stop sign. Total loss of control of the car. Dashboard lights flash and display instructs you to put the car in park. After 3 attempts the car starts. Thought it was a fluke. 8/24/19 the same event happens again, except on a busier road. Very scary and concerned about being hit from behind. 4 attempts to restart car, finally starts and i drive directly to mechanic. 8/27/19 happens multiple times to mechanic, who agrees this is a very dangerous situation in moving traffic. The computer does not indicate any problem. Based on information i had found on line, he checks the oil to find no oil on the dipstick. Car is @ 35,242 miles & consumed 4 qts of oil during 5100 miles. I am told that this is way too much oil to be used for this number of miles. The more i poke around on line, i see that many jeep cherokee owners are reporting the same problems. Countless that have happened on the highway, which i can't begin to think how deadly that can be. It appears that jeep/chrysler is doing nothing about this problem. They have recalled the 2019 jeep cherokee for this problem. I would also believe this is an environmental problem with excessive amount of oil being burned. I do have receipts from the service garage. Please help |
