| Description of the problem | A couple of days during a week's time the engine will shut down while taking my daughter to school in the morning as i was turning onto the main road out of my neighborhood. The engine shut off, the steering became difficult, and the parking brake engaged. A couple days after the second time the oil pressure light came on for a second. I check the oil and it was 3 quarts low. No other warning lights came on. After looking for information on the web i learned 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 quite some time based on jeep's recommended schedule, but i was forced to do one so they could verify the issue. I am concerned for my safety, my family's, as well as other drivers as i do not know when the car will shut if i don't act like i have my first car from the 1960's and had to check the oil weekly. |
