Consumer Description
WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO TURN AND THE JEEP TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE FOR IT TO START AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP DID THE SAME THING. I'M LUCKY THAT THERE WAS AN AREA FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO ON THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD OR I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE JEEP. I HAD 1K MILES LEFT TO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND GET MY OIL CHANGED ALWAYS BEFORE 5K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THESE JEEPS BURN OIL FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD AND I SHOULD BUY SYNTHETIC OIL TO CARRY IN THE JEEP AND CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLUTION, AS I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THE JEEP IF THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CARRY OIL AROUND WITH ME & CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS, AS THERE IS NO WARNING THAT YOUR OIL IS LOW BEFORE THE JEEP TURNS OFF. I TRAVEL AT LEAST 100 MILES A DAY FOR WORK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL EVERY OTHER DAY.
