| Description of the problem | I am having a major issue with my 2017 jeep cherokee and its seems as though this issue is running rampant nation wide. Furthermore it seems as though fiat-chrysler knows about it and is doing nothing. My 2017 jeep cherokee 2. 4l was purchased from dan on 7/17/2017. Since then, it has been having engine problems. . In doing so, it apparently gets so low that the engine cuts off mid driving and i lose all power, steering included. This is clearly a safety issue as i have my 4 and 2 year old in the car with me and this has happened multiple times in the last 6 months. This started happening when the car had less than 25,000 miles on it. There are countless forums online that discuss this issue with jeep cherokees. Car is running driving at approx 30mph when all of a sudden warning indicators come on and the car stalls out losing all power including steering. Dealership says there is no oil in the car. While reviewing the above jeep forums online everyone is plagued by this. The car burns all the oil! New cars should not be doing this especially to the extent that there is none left in it!!! I park the car in the garage same spot every night. Not a drop on the floor |
