Description of the problem	The 2018 jeep compass engines have an unresolvable defect causing the oil to burn at an accelerated rate. It is a dangerous safety issue for anyone driving a 2018 jeep compass. The vehicle requires synthetic oil which would normally give you 5,000 drivable miles or 5 months before having to get an oil change. After only 2,000 miles, while driving my jeep compass, it shut off without any warning. Luckily, there was no traffic on the road because the only thing i was able to do was coast to the shoulder and brake. Only when the engine shut down did a low oil pressure light come on. I never would have bought this vehicle if i knew that the car would shut down with no warning. Absolutely zero warning... No oil warning light, no message, no symbol, nothing. This happened again last week, just shy of 3 months after my last oil change. I immediately took it to the dealership and was told that after they change the oil (again), i will have to drive the vehicle, despite the safety issues, for another 1,000 miles so they can conduct an oil consumption test. After that, they will need to do a bore test to see if there is scoring in the cylinders. I was told that i will most likely need a new engine. I then researched this issue and was appalled at the sheer number of people this is happening to and despite the complaints, chrysler has not issued a recall. In fact, they are still selling this car to people even with a serious design flaw. There should be an immediate recall of all 2018 jeep compasses before someone dies, if someone hasn't already.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
