| Description of the problem | All maintenance done to vehicle at recommended/required timeframes. After my 2nd oil change while driving the car stalled with no indicators on dash on a main road with a speed limit of 45mph, car did not re-start until 2nd or 3rd attempt. This was the 1st time this had happened. About 1 week later while driving downhill turning onto a flat road the car stalled again starting back up on the first try. While driving the same day the car stalled 2 more times. At no point were any indicators lit showing any problem. I brought the vehicle to a jeep dealership and explained the problem, after explaining the time it stalled going down hill he checked the oil and found it empty. The manual states changing the oil when the warning light is lit, once a year or 10,000 miles. I have had the oil changed by professionals in our before 5,000 miles. At the time i brought the vehicle to the dealership and discovered it had no oil i was still under the 5,000 mile range to have the oil replaced. The technician informed me that the oil had probably burned up and changed the oil and filter. Months later when pulling out onto a main road the vehicle again stalked with no warning lights on the dash, thankfully the car started on the first attempt as a tractor trailer was coming up behind me. I immediately brought the car back to the jeep dealer and was informed it would be a few hours add i had not scheduled an appointment. After explaining my issue the technician checked my oil finding it empty, about 4,000 miles since last oil change, and stated he would top it off for free to speed up the process. He stated this was a recently discovered issue but nothing yet was being done to fix the issue. I see a recall has been put out and checked my vin which came back as not recalled but i believe my car may have the recall or something else possibly wrong. |
