| Description of the problem | While driving a vehicle with only 4200 miles on it, the jeep staled without warning. Jeep restarted and was driven. When i called the local dealership, i was informed to check my oil level - that it would be low and to refill. I asked how they know this and the dealership's service center informed me that this is a "known issue" with the 2. 4 liter engine and is "common". I checked my oil, sure enough, it was low - i would say two (2) quarts low (in a 5 quart system). No "check engine light", no "service issue announcement" from jeep - no warning at all for a "known issue". This is inexcusable! Oil temp was never above haft way, i still have 30% on the oil change meter. I owned a 2014 jeep cherokee and never had an issue with a 2. 4l engine. Can't wait to see what jeep is going to do for all the jeep cherokee owners that this "know issue" is going to affect. |
