NHTSA Complaint #10542416 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER

WHILE DRIVING ON PAVED, CITY BOULEVARD, I HEARD A VERY SHORT, ALMOST INAUDIBLE "BEEP" WARNING, BUT SAW NO WARNING LIGHTS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I HEARD THE SAME VERY SHORT "BEEP", AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, A "BEEP" ACCOMPANIED BY THE CHECK OIL LIGHT. I STOPPED CHECKED OIL. I WAS LOW. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD LOW OIL ON THIS VEHICAL, BOUGHT NEW. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK MORE OF DRIVING THE CHECK OIL LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND I HEARD A SUDDEN LOUD KNOCKING FROM THE ENGINE. A DIAGNOSTIC INDICATES THE ENGINE IS "SEIZED" AND NEEDS REPLACING. AT LESS THAN 5700 MILES OF EASY DRIVING, I FIND THIS INCREDULOUS.
