Description of the problem	Two days in a row the engine shut down less then one mile into my morning commute as i was turning onto the main road out of my development. The engine shut off, the steering became difficult, and the parking brake engaged. No warning lights came on, and nothing indicated why the car was shutting down. When taken into the dealer after the second incident in as many days, i was told the engine was low or out of oil and shutting down is a safety feature as is engaging the emergency brake in traffic. I wasn't due for an oil change for another month based on jeep's recommended schedule, but i was forced to do one so they could verify the issue. I was also told the compass has a new highly efficient engine and these new engines are so efficient they burn/leak oil, and i am to check my oil every 500-1000 miles and always have a quart in the car to top it off. When i asked why there wasn't a dashboard indicator the oil was low i was told the compass does not have such an indicator. I am concerned for my safety, my family's, as well as other drivers as i do not know when the car will shut down again.
