| Description of the problem | On november 27, 2018, i was making a left turn with oncoming traffic and the vehicle stopped running midway thru the turn. I was almost in a crash. I got the vehicle off the road and put the vehicle in park. I started the engine. You could not hear it running but the rpm gauge registerd aroun 5-500 rpm. I put the car in drive and it began to run. I call the dealer immediately and the soonest i could get to the dealer was the 29th. I delivered the car to the dealer early on the 29th. The deal called me around 5:30 pm the same day to explain the car was low on oil and this caused the car to shut off. They asked me to do a oil consumption test. I returned the car on december the 7. I started the car that morning and it sounded like the car had no oil it while it was running. The dealer kept the car for 10-15 min and returned it to me and told me it was fine. There was no indication the oil was low. Since then i spoke to aj at the dealer and he told me the car was three quarts low on oil when i brought it in on december 27th. I was told that this is a safety feature for the vehicle when the oil gets low. I have had all service done at the dealer. I do not trust this vehicle. This is going to get someone killed. |
