Consumer Description

JEEP RENEGADE 2018, AT 12 THOUSAND PLUS MILES, JUST STARTED USING OIL. I BROUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW, TOOK IT IN FOR THE REGULAR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES, THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON THE JEEP JUST SHUT OFF. I WAITED A SECOND OR SO AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I WENT BACK HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY. WE ADD A 4 PLUS QUARTS OF THE CORRECT OIL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, FOR AN APPOINTMENT. IT TOOK 4 PLUS DAYS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WE CHECK THE OIL AND AGAIN IT BARELY GOT ANY IN IT. WE ADD JUST ENOUGH TO GET TO THE APPOINTMENT. NOW THEY SAY I HAVE TO DRIVE IT 1000 MILES FOR A COMPRESSION TEST. THEY KNOW IT'S THE MOTOR!. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO BE PUT AT RISK OF BREAKING DOWN TO PROVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THE NEW CARS HAVE WHY CAN'T THEY SEE THE ISSUE'S ON THE COMPUTER?
