Description of the problem | I bought this truck and brought it home and was going through everything and found out that the oil didnt even reach the dipstick and it took 4 quarts to fill it up. I then checked everything else and made sure it was fine. I drove the truck for the next 3 days on and off the interstate and highway driving. I was attempting to go to my dr. S office in cartersville, ga. And i was going about 55 mph down the road and suddenly the check engine light came on and the vehicle limped its way to a parking lot to which i shut it off and then started it back up and it seemed good enough to get it to the dealership there and they pulled codes and said that the oil pump isnt getting enough oil and it was less than a quart. It used up 4 quarts in that time. I cant trust this to goto tennessee with this going on. Does anyone else have this problem? This is piss poor engineering on the part of fca to build a engine that uses that much oil and at $9 a quart ill be broke before the end of the month |
