| Description of the problem | At around 5000 miles the oil pressure light flashes on and off when making turns. I took it to the dealership where i leased it from and they told me it was a "known" issue and to complain to chrysler. They checked my oil and it was nearly 3 quarts low. They then gave me the option to just add oil or since i was close to needing an oil change just to have them do that. Both would be at my expense. They also recommended that i come back once a month and have oil added, also at my expense. I had them do the oil change but later in the day it wasn't sitting right with me. This is a brand new vehicle and also a lease, the problem needs to be fixed and if it can't then it sure as heck shouldn't be my problem. I am now afraid to drive the vehicle as i was told that it could stall at any given time and that i could blow my engine if i don't pay attention. I am going back to the dealership to speak with a manager but i just wanted others to be aware of this issue. |
