Description of the problem | This car burns oil at an extreme rate, i've had it checked out for consumption tests after every 1,000 miles- it is always low on oil. With no answers from jeep who is performing these tasks. Currently the car has been since about 25,000 miles- (im sitting at 51,000 now) shaking between gears, the rpm gauge tac jumps around, the car seems to struggle running. Every time the car is taken in - i'm told the car is running correctly even with high oil consumption as well as issues with transmission and that this is jeeps standard. I have yet to have anything resolved since i've been told there are zero problems or the dealership cannot replicate the issues i've had. A less than 3 year old car should not be burning more than a quart of oil every 1,000 miles. This is a car that has a standard of getting oil changes every 6,000 miles. How is this following jeeps standard. If i followed this standard i would be pulling my car into a dealership every recommended 6,000 miles with zero oil. I've had a starter explode in my engine, had it fixed for it to only do the same issue a week later. When in motion my entire car hopps around, its nearly impossible to take it on the expressway because i know its so dangerous. I cannot trust this car going over 55 miles an hour. I've given up hope in jeep and still continue to get my regular work done to keep the car barely functioning. 51,000 miles. A car that as gotten an oil change every 1,000 miles the last two years. And has had complete regular work done on it. This is not okay. This is dangerous. |
