 Description of the problemMy 2018 jeep cherokee latitude plus shut off while driving. The first time (12/8/2019 @ 1200 hrs) i was pulling up to a stop sign and it just shut off. No dash indicator warning lights and it had plenty of fuel. The second time (12/9/2019 @ apprx 1600 hrs)i was turning left onto a very busy city street and it shut off. I was able to coast to the side of the road so i wouldn't get hit. Again no warnings at all. After apprx 10 minutes car was able to restart. Drove straight to dallas dodge(apprx 23 miles.) they said it was low on oil. Should add oil or get oil change. But since they were closing they did not have anyone who could help. Also said an oil consumption test needed to be done, but they could not perform it. Oil change places were closed. I drove to auto zone and purchased a 5 qt bottle of synthetic oil. Added 3 qts. To fill. 16-dectook car to appointment @ ed voyles. They had to add 1. 5 qts of oil. Said to bring it back in 1000 miles or if oil got low before that, bring it in so they can measure it and document amount of time and mileage. 4-jan2nd oil consumption test at ed voyles.
