NHTSA Complaint #11124329 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

ENGINE OIL AND STALLING. I WENT FOR MY 2ND OIL CHANGE 8/27/2018. THE SERVICE TECH AND A MECHANIC LISTENED WHEN I SAID THE OIL WAS BASICALLY GONE AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS. I EVEN CHECKED ALL THE SYSTEM WARNINGS AND THERE IS NONE FOR LOW OIL. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION THE CAR TOTALLY SHUT OFF AT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. SO THE MECHANIC SAID YES THOSE 2.4 ENGINES BURN 1 QUART EACH 1000 MILES AND WHEN THE OIL IS LOW THE ENGINE WILL JUST STOP. I ASKED ABOUT WHY THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THE MECHANIC AGAIN SAID YES THERE IS NOT ONE. HAVING A CAR JUST SHUT OFF IS SO DANGEROUS. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING ANY OF THOSE 4 SHUT OFFS. ALSO MY CAR JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE SERVICE TECH COMMENTED I NEEDED A COMPUTER UPGRADE. WHILE THERE FOR THE OIL CHANGE SUPPOSEDLY THE UPGRADE WAS DONE. IT JUST JERK AGAIN THE OTHER DAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING. THIS CAR IS JUST A YEAR OLD - ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS.
