NHTSA Complaint #11279790 — 2018 JEEP COMPASS

I BOUGHT MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FEBRUARY 2019. IN JULY 2019 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 2 DAUGHTERS THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTERS TO VISIT FAMILY ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO LARSON DODGE AND JEEP DEALER IN PUYALLUP, WA. I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE JEEP COMPASS HAS A PROBLEM WITH OIL EVAPORATING AND THEY WOULD CHANGE THE OIL. THE SERVICE PERSON I TALKED TO SAID HIS WIFE ALSO HAS A JEEP COMPASS AND HE IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIS WIFE TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE HOW OIL CAN JUST EVAPORATE. AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CHANGE I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 3000 TO 3500 MILES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED ONE OTHER TIME AROUND 3000 MILES AND WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT CHANGED AGAIN SOON. THE LAST TIME THE OIL WAS VERY LOW AGAIN AND IT GETTING LOW AGAIN. I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY CHECK MY OIL ON A WEEKLY BASIS ON AN ALMOST NEW CAR. DRIVING THIS CAR, THAT CAN JUST TURN OFF AT ANYTIME DUE TO A KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS NOT ONLY PUTS ME IN DANGER BUT IT PUTS MY CHILDREN IN DANGER EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.
