Description of the problem	I bought my jeep renegade in august of 2018. Not even a month of driving later (2,000 miles), i was on the side of the highway because the engine stalled and then gave me a low oil pressure warning. When i took the vehicle into the dealership they said it was too early to do an oil change and to come back at 10,000 miles. I had to fill the vehicle with 2 quarts of oil to keep it running. I then ran into the same problem at the 7,000 mile mark where i stalled on the side of the road. The dealership finally did an oil consumption test, and i thought they would see it as a problem that the engine is "consuming" 1 quart per 1,000 miles. However, it is "normal" under the fca guidelines for their engines to consume this amount of oil. I tried to get the dealership to get me out of the vehicle i had just bought, and they told me it wasn't worth very much because it had a bad engine. They would not fix the engine though unless it was consuming more than 1 quart per 1,000 miles. I completed yet another test to find that the oil consumption stayed the same. I was having to fill the oil reservoir in between oil changes in fear that i would stall on the highway again and get hit by a vehicle. There are no warning lights for this issue until after the engine stops. The dealership told me i needed to just check the dipstick everytime i fuel up. This is only a temporary fix as i am filling up with $10 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles and then doing an oil change every 3,000 miles because if i go to the recommended 10,000 miles there will be engine problems. I would like to do my own oil changes, but have been going to the dealership in fear that i would be to blame for the oil consumption issue if i dared to change my own oil. I am currently at 30,000 miles. It appears that chrysler is avoiding resolving the issue until it comes out of my pocket in 6,000 miles.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
