Consumer Description

THE ENGINE LOSES LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL CAUSING THE CAR AIR FLOW SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR NEEDS OIL AND ECS WARNING BLINKS. HOWEVER, THE CAR OIL INDICATOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE CAR NEEDS OIL. THIS SAME IDENTICAL SITUATION HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME, STARTING ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE SUV IN SEPTEMBER 2015. EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAS BEEN NOTED IN THE RECORD. HOWEVER, THIS TIME, THE AUTOMOBILE TECH INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM WITH CAR AND NOTED THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINES. THOSE PARTICULAR ENGINES ARE ALSO IN THE CHRYSLER 200.
