Description of the problem | While driving on sunday my jeep suddenly without notice or warning shut off and would not restart, i was stranded in middle of the road since there was no warning i had no time to pull to side. Aaa towed to clark chrysler/jeep where it was bought and under extended warranty. All pm's have been done there and done timely. What they found was jeep was down 3 qts of oil, i asked how that could be and why would engine shut off so abruptly they claim the 2. 4 engines use 1qt per 1,000 miles, that no indicator or warning comes on and engine will shut off to protect it. No where is it listed in owners manual, i have been in automotive for over 30 years and if an engine burns a qt per 1,000 you rebuild or buy a new engine, i am now told i must check and add oil every 1,000 miles on a 2015 with only 42,000 miles! Safety concern is if anyone is on highway it could cause death with a sudden stoppage of vehicle, i was left in the middle of of a country road and aaa had police come to help block me from traffic passing around me, i never heard of anything like this so i called jeep and melisa on their consumer line confirmed with service tech ian hogan and told me that she is told it happens and there is no warning , how can jeep think this is safe without at least notifying owners to be aware? |
