Consumer Description

4800 MILES MADE MONTH FOLLOW UP OVER NEXT WEEK TRIED TO TURN OFF STOP/START FEATURE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS MPG. . I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COINCIDENCE NOT THE ISSUE BUT MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF 2/3 INTO TURN, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, COUPLE TIMES SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT NOT AT A STOP AND DIDN'T WANT TO RESTART. DAY OF CAR FOLLOW UP 3 TIMES TURNING RIGHT IT DIES AND LOW OIL PRESSURE FLICKED ON FOR ABOUT A SECOND. WAS TOLD NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THEN TODAY TOLD CHRYSLER ENGINEERS SAID NO ITS SOMETHING WITH NEW CAR AND SOLVENT CAUSING OIL ISSUE IT WAS TOO LOW BUT NOT LEAKING OUT/ I'M TOLD THEY WILL CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION EVERY 1000 MILES AND STAND BY PRODUCT, LOCAL DEALER SAID COME BACK AT 500 MILES. WHAT IF IT DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON HIGHWAY? TRADED AN OIL BURNING AUDI FOR JEEP IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE BUT NOW I'M FACED WITH NEW CAR AND WORRIED IT WILL DIE CAUSING ME TO END UP A STATISTIC. WHY DIDN'T LIGHT COME ON EARLIER AND WHY ONLY A SECOND TO WARN WHEN THE CAR WAS ALREADY SHUT DOWN WHEN IT WARNED ME? SOME RECALLS WERE MADE WHY ISN'T MINE OR OTHERS I'M READING ABOUT?
