Description of the problem	While driving in a parking lot, my car shut off instantly, no warning. Thank god i was not on the highway or that a car was not driving behind me! My husband checked the oil and it was extremely low. Car only has, 2,840 miles on it. Bought the car new on, 6/30/2018, with only, 28 miles on it. We took the car to the jeep dealership and was told the oil was empty and the engine is burning oil. He said this is happening with this model and other jeep/dodge vehicles with this motor. The mechanic did an oil change and stated to bring the car back after 500 miles to check the oil again. He stated if the oil lost happens again, they would have to replace the engine, with the same type of engine and hope for the best. I think this is absurd for a new vehicle with so little miles on it! Fiat/chrysler is no help and will not give any options other than replacing the engine. Shameful and shows they do not value their customers time nor feelings. They continue to make these cars with these same defected engines. If you search, jeep burning oil, you will find a ton of complaints.
