| Description of the problem | I was driving at highway speed when the check engine light was activated. The automatic transmission was not shifting properly, and did not seem to downshift after slowing down to proceed through toll booth. When i attempted to accelerate after paying the toll, the engine began to slowly accelerate as if it was in fourth or fifth gear. Shortly thereafter, the oil light began to turn on and off intermittently. I made it to a chrysler/jeep dealer and found a puddle of oil under my car and there was no oil registering on the dipstick. After the jeep service department eventually looked at my car, i found out there was a cracked oil filter adapter that had to be replaced. After doing some research, i learned that this was not an uncommon problem in jeeps. I imagine that i was fortunate that the engine did not seize or catch fire, which obviously has the potential to cause serious harm. |
