Description of the problem | Three times while actively moving in traffic, the vehicle has shut off without warning. The vehicle has been able to be stopped safely and placed into park. The electrical works so hazard lights have been able to be engaged. However, the vehicle fails to restart on the first few attempts. Ultimately it will restart. The service rep indicated this is a known issue with these vehicles and he has seen a lot of this on this model. He noted the engine has loose tolerances to achieve the mileage rating. As a result it looses oil rapidly. And jeep implemented engine sensors to stop the engine when the oil is low. The sensors do not take into account if the vehicle is moving or at what speeds. I called the dealer about this extremely dangerous situation immediately, to which we got an answer to drop it off, they will have to look at it when they get to it. This vendor and vehicle have had over a dozen significant recalls and need to be taken off the road. |
