| Description of the problem | The problem started last week, while making a right hand turn my jeep suddenly lost all electrical power including the power steering. After i put my car in park and waited a few minutes it started back up without further incidents. The first incident happened on a snow day on my morning commute to work, had i taken a busier route it would have caused an accident. The same thing repeated the following day minus the snowy conditions. I schedule my car for service where i bought it as soon as i was able to take it. When i arrived to the dealer i spoke to a service adviser and explained what had transpired. He quickly recognized the problem, and asked a very specific question. He asked if the car died out while making a right hand turn which was the case both incidents. He went on to say that it happened to that model and engine if they oil gets low. I was astounded as i was not due for an oil change for around 1,000 miles. Clearly jeep is aware of the issue which seems to be obvious design flaw. I understand how recalls work and i am left to assume that they have decided against it as an oil change can be a temporary fix and a engine replacement would be costly and time consuming. |
