| Description of the problem | While driving the vehicle, it would go into limp mode and shut itself down while driving. This has happened during 3 different periods time near the oil change interval, occurring 3+ or more times during each period. After complaining about it to the dealership, with the 3rd occurrence, they checked the oil prior to changing it noting there was no oil in the pan. After performing a fuel consumption test, it was noted that the engine between 6,000 and 7,000 miles (oil change time) lost over 1. 25 quarts of oil. Between 0 and 6,000 miles, minimal to no oil was lost, but between 6,000-7,000 the oil would drop significantly with no obvious reason why. The dealership mentioned they have had other customers with a similar issue. If it was under warranty, then jeep would likely replace the engine, but since no longer under warranty (expired at 60,000 miles), i would need to replace engine or tear down to diagnose the issue. |
