| Description of the problem | My jeep compass turns off while driving. The low oil pressure light comes on and the parking break turns on in the middle of the street, more than 4 times. Took my jeep to a dealership, they said don't worry you just need an oil change. I stated that my check oil light did not come on, the engine light did not come on, and the change your oil light did not come on. How am i supposed to know the oil pressure is low? The light only flashes for a second, until the vehicle turns off. The first couple times, i was unaware the light flashed. I was to busy trying to avoid being hit from behind. I had to turn on hazards, figure out the parking break engaged and panic. That is a hazard on the road. I inquired if there was a recall or any injuries or deaths due to the issue. The answer was not yet. The 2. 4 burns oil, everyone has this problem. I don't find acceptable. I have to drive this car at least 6 more years. It is not a safe vehicle. The jeep has died backing up in parking lot. The jeep dies during turning both right and light on busy streets. And once, i turned left drove 4 cars length and stopped dead in traffic on a busy street. |
