 Description of the problemPurchased vehicle in march, went to have first oil change done and there was a problem with the oil consumption. The dealership had me come in every 1000 miles and after the 3rd time the dealership said the problem wasn't getting better and they would need to replace my engine. So at 3000 miles i had to get my engine replacement. The day i picked my vehicle up from the service shop while driving doing 40 mph the car seized up on me and i had to make my way to safety and restart the vehicle. I informed my case manager and was told if it happened again take it into the shop. Month later on my way home with the kids in the jeep doing 50 mph the vehicle seized up again and i had to pull off to safety and restart the vehicle. I took the jeep in to the dealership that same day. 4 days later the dealership said they fixed it and i could come pick it. On sunday, july 21st i was heading out of town on the highway doing 70 mph and the vehicle seized up on me. Went from 70 mph to 44 mph which almost caused an accident. There was 7 lanes of traffic and construction going on which made it hard to get off to the side. After that it took me 15 minutes to get back on the hwy and work my way across 7 lines of traffic. Once i made it to the right lane i heard a thump and my vehicle would not excel faster than 30 mph. I finally made it off the hwy and while sitting at the light the vehicle seized up again and i had to restart it 3 times to make it through the light.
