NHTSA Complaint #11090825 — 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OUT. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THERE WASN'T ANY MESSAGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. IT WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE WITHOUT BEING HIT. ON CHECKING THE INTERNET IT SHOWED OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS RELATED TO OIL. . CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS LOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE 2.4 CUTS OFF EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING WHEN OIL IS LOW. NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER MULTI LANE ROAD I MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO CHECK MY OIL BETWEEN SERVICE ON A NEWER CAR BEFORE THIS IS AN UNSAFE DEFAULT TO LOW OIL. IT PUTS THE DRIVER AND PUBLIC IN DANGER. HAD I BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE MAY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. I CANT BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THIS AS A FEATURE WITH NO WARNING.
