Consumer Description

TOOK OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE IN AUG 2018. AT 6000 MILES IT RANDOMLY STALLED. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO OIL SO THEY TOPPED OFF AND ASKED ME TO RETURN FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN 1000 MILES. UPON RETURNING IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS AT 9000 MILES. AT 14000 MILES THE SAME ISSUE BEGINS TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, ONCE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, THE OTHER AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. AWAITING RETURN AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR RENTAL VEHICLE AND ANY COMPENSATION FROM JEEP. *DT*DT*JB
