Description of the problem | Jeep has a safety feature so they say that causes the car to turn off while driving if the oil in your brand new vehicle gets low. This happened many times once in the middle of an intersection. I called my dealer who told me its normal and to change my oil even though my onboard dash said i was fine no oil warning light just the car turns off while driving. Very dangerous and it is not easy to restart . I was slowing down for a redlight the light turned green and my car turned off causing driver behind me to almost hit me i was panicked. This happened many times more and i contacted jeep dealer and they told me to change my oil and it wont happen again. To have a car shut off instead of an oil warning light is extremely dangerous why not use the light it came with. That is not a safety design for anyone but jeep so they dont have to replace brand new cars that burn over 3 quarts of oil every 4000 miles. They arent worried about the drivers stuck in the middle of an intersection waiting and praying their car restarts. I have video of it doing it my neighborhood and never once does the oil light come on. The car actually dies while in motion not just stopped. I have a video of it but it is 3 minutes long and it will not upload i guess due to the length of it. It has happened many time since decemeber first times i just thought the car was cold due to outside temperature and the bars on the dash indicating the car was cold. To say i purchased a brand new car and did not expect to have to add 3 quarts of oil every 5000 miles is an understatement to fear for my own safety driving my car is crazy. I have changed the oil and now i have to constantly monitor it so i can be safe this should never be the case and dodge knows it does this and does nothing but offer an oil consumption check every 1000 miles.
