Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP COMPASSM WITH LESS THAN 5K MILES, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND LOCKED THE STEERING AND EVERYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WITHOUT HESITATION, THEY KNEW THAT IT NEEDED A BRAND NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE CAR "SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL THIS QUICKLY." THEY MADE IT SEEM AS THOUGH THIS OCCURS EXTREMELY FREQUENTLY AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE JUST BY LOOKING UP "JEEP COMPASS BURNING OIL." THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER TOLD HIM RINGS AND PISTONS IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE OLD ENGINE WAS BURNING A CRAZY AMOUNT OF OIL ENGINE WAS BURNING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL, DEALER HINTED THAT A RECALL MAY HAPPEN BECAUSE HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM WAS.*JB
