NHTSA Complaint #11056581 — 2015 CHRYSLER 200

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON A TRIP FROM BELLEVUE, OHIO TO FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. AROUND 300 MILES ROUND TRIP, GIVE OR TAKE. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL BEFORE WE LEFT AND IT WAS FINE. NO PROBLEMS ON THE RIDE THERE. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR 3-4 HOURS WE WERE LEAVING THE PARK, GOING DOWN A HILL WITH A CURVE AT THE BOTTOM AND THE CAR JUST DIES. NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON. WE ALMOST HIT A CAMPER. THE ONLY THING THAT STILLED WORKED WAS THE RADIO. THE CAR FINALLY STOPS ON ITS OWN. MY HUSBAND PUTS IT IN PARKING AND CHECKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. WHEN HE TRUE TO START THE BACK UP, IT STRUGGLES THE FIRST TWO TRIES. THE THIRD TIME IT TURNED OVER. NO LIGHTS ON DASH TO EXPLAIN THE STALL. WE NERVOUSLY DRIVE THE CAR ALL THE WAY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR OVER NIGHT. WE GO IN TO PICK UP OUR CAR AND THEY TELL US THAT THEY HAD TO PUT 3 3/4 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT. IT BEING LOW ON OIL CAUSED THE SAFETY FEATURE IN THE CAR TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS FEATURE. WE WERE ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE OUR CAR HAD OVER 50,000 IT WILL BURN THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES..SERIOUSLY. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE US 75 DOLLARS FOR LABOR, WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY. I WENT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR OUR CAR. ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE IT DOES STATE THAT OUR CAR WILL CONSUME 1 QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 750 MILES. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. MY DAD IS A RETIRED MECHANIC OF 45 YEARS AND HES BEYOND OUTRAGED THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. AT 80 AN OIL CHANGE AND FOR SOMEONE THAT TRAVELS A LOT, THAT'S RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. HOW CAN THIS BE ACCEPTABLE? MIND BLOWN BY THIS.
