Description of the problem | When the oil is low, and you are on a slight incline or hill the vehicle will simply shut off while driving with absolutely no warning. No warning light, no warning message. Once the vehicle shuts off it doesn't restart, until its on a flat area. This has happened several times, the last time i was stopped on a hill waiting to make a left turn when i started to go the vehicle just shut off and i was stuck in the middle of the road across two lanes of traffic. This is very dangerous and could easily get people killed. The 3yr old engine is apparently burning oil, since there is no leak and regular oil changes are done. |
