| Description of the problem | Jeep compass 2018 mileage 5188 - on friday, june 21, 2019 i was just leaving my home to go to work at 7:45 am and i was about 1. 5 miles from my home when my car just ceased on a major roadway and the dashboard said oil pressure low.

I immediately called dealer healy chrysler jeep where i bought my car and spoke to a service manager named jeff roscino and he told me that i should take the car to the nearest dealer to me and have my oil changed.

I had brought the car to yonkers chrysler jeep which was nearest dealer to me and they did an oil change - synthetic oil put 6 quarts of oil in car - the service advisor said there was a very little amount of oil in car. This car is a brand new car and should not be burning oil it has 5,188 miles on it - there is a serious design flaw in engine and also a very serious safety issue. I do not feel safe driving this car and something needs to be done about these issues before me or someone else gets hurt. Selling a car to people with a serious design flaw in the engine is a very serious issue. I have read online that several people had had the same thing happened to them had very low mileage and car ceases and dashboard says low oil pressure. There was very little oil in there car as well. I called jeep headquarter on saturday, june 22, 2019 and spoke to representative and she gave me a case number and told me someone would be calling me back on monday, june 24,2019. It can |
