Description of the problem	At 17,000 miles, i started having issues with my cherokee. The first time the engine of the vehicle stalled on me, i was on my way to work. I powered off the engine and it successfully restarted after one attempt. I brought it to my dealership later that day to find out i was "out of oil", this was roughly 2500 miles into my most recent oil change (which is projected for 5000 miles). I was disappointed, due to the vehicle being a year old. The dealership added some oil and i was on my way. Shortly after, i started noticing the engine would rev to high rpm's when the vehicle was stationary, the rpm's would increase drastically when breaking, the vehicle would jump between gears 1-3, making increasing your speed extremely difficult as you never knew when the vehicle would actually take off. My dealership was "unable to duplicate " this issue, and i was sent on my way. Fast forward 9 months, and my vehicle dies on me as i am leaving work. However, this time, it took multiple attempts to restart the vehicle. I was finally able to start it by putting my foot on the gas, and any time i took my foot off of the gas, the engine would stall. I drove with two feet to the dealership that day, and found out once again i was "out of oil". The dealership recommended an "oil consumption test", which means bringing your vehicle to the dealership at various mile markers (500,1000, 2000, 2000). At this time, they would check the oil levels and refill any lost oil. Through this, i found out my vehicle was "burning through" 1 quart of oil every 666. 67 miles. Chrysler guidelines say a vehicle of my specifications should use 1 quart in 2000 miles. This vehicle is a beautiful death trap on wheels, and such a disappointment to jeep lovers everywhere. Stay away.
