| Description of the problem | One day i was driving and my jeep stalled out on me. It took a few minutes to get it started again. It happened a few more times within a 2 week period and then as i was turning the low oil pressure light flashed on for a split second. I took my jeep in to get an oil change (brought it in under requested mileage) and told dealership of the stalling and low oil pressure light. They told me that there was no oil in the jeep at all and i told them that was impossible because they did the last oil change i brought it in under the requested mileage for this oil change. They told me to come at 4000 miles instead. At approximately 4000 after getting oil change my car again stalled out as i was driving. My husband checked the oil and again it was "bone dry" the jeep is burning oil excessively. Have to do oil consumption test with dealership. There are no warning lights that come on to state that oil is low. Have to check oil level weekly to make sure there's oil in car. If the oil gets too low the jeep stalls out unexpectedlu while in motion. Does not start back up for at least 3 minutes. I was driving with my 8 year old and 2 year old and the it stalled out unexpectedly while in motion. Luckily this happened on a side road but it has happened 3 other times. One time was getting onto the highway. This is very dangerous. A new car should not be consuming oil to the point that it needs to be checked weekly. |
