Description of the problem	Monday‎, ‎august‎ ‎13‎, ‎2018 the jeep cherokee was in for its first oil change. Minutes after receiving the vehicle from the oil change and driving off the dealer lot at 10:07 am received the charging/battery indicator along with the auto start/stop error indicator. Seconds later when trying to turn the jeep became very difficult to turn. The vehicle began to emit a bunch of smoke. When we returned to the service center at the dealer, it was explained that a faulty o-ring on the oil filter caused the loss of 2 quarts of oil. Smolich motors service center failed to note the auto start stop error and no error was present after the loss of oil was replenished and we received the vehicle back despite being shown the picture of the error. They did note the o-ring failure and the loss of 2 quarts of oil on the service order receipt. Thursday‎, ‎september‎ ‎6‎, ‎2018 9:28 am while turning from badger st on to the bend parkway the charging/battery light appeared with the message to service throttle control and again experienced difficult steering while narrowly avoiding a collision with a semi truck.
