| Description of the problem | Since we bought it new, it has stalled when turning (usually left) when the oil level gets low. I have taken it to the dealership where they have told me that i should have to put oil in it frequently and that the engine shutting off is a safety mechanism. The problem is, there is no indication that the oil level is low. So unless i keep track of how many miles i have driven, the jeep will just quit on me. I have dealt with the issue until recently when i came within inches of getting slammed on my passenger door because i stalled in the middle of the oncoming traffic. If a low oil light came on, i would obviously have more oil put in, but i get no warning at all. It just quits. Usually in the middle of the road. The enclosed pictures are of when i had to put oil in it in november. The last episode of almost getting hit happened on jan 16. |
