Description of the problem | I've owned a 2018 jeep compass for 2 months i bought it with less than 50 miles on it. At 3500 miles the engine will shut off randomly. You have to put the jeep in park to restart the car. The cause of this is the jeep consumes oil ag a rate of a quart per 1000 miles and the jeep is installed with a fail safe that kills the motor so it doesn't harm the motor but will leave you stopped in the middle of the highway. The only way to restart the car is to put it in park and restart it. There is no low oil warnings or oil change indicators. The recommended oil change is 5000 miles |
