| Description of the problem | 3. 8l v6 engine burns excessive amount of oil over 1 quart every 1000 miles. The oil also destroys the four oxygen sensors which have to replaced every 75k miles and catalytic converter $500. My rear exhaust drips oil and the engine compartment reeks of burn oil. This issue has devalued my vehicle worse than the vw diesel software scandal. Also the oil light it set to come on when the oil pressure reaches 0 psi of pressure, whats the point to let you know you just damaged your engine? So stupid. The dealer told me this excessive oil consumption is normal and printed out a statement from chrysler's engineering department stating motors over 50k miles will burn 1 quart of oil every 750 miles. How does this jeep pass pollution smog tests? On the plus side there are less mosquitoes in my neighborhood, but who will pay for my lung cancer when i'm 50 years old? |
