NHTSA Complaint #11280586 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 43K MILEAGE. WHEN TURNING, THE "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THEN THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND SOMETIMES THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD ACTIVATE AND STOP THE CAR. I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND THEN TURN BACK ON TO OPERATE. THIS HAPPENED ON SIDE STREETS AND ONCE ON HIGHWAY. TOOK CAR INTO GOLLING (DEALER) AND THEY SAID OIL WAS VERY LOW. I HAD JUST HAD OIL CHANGED ABOUT 3K MILES PRIOR TO THAT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT "THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN TO BURN OIL". THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK AT 2K MILES TO HAVE THE OIL CHECKED. AT 2K MILES, THE OIL WAS LOW AGAIN AND THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK AT 1K MILES. I BROUGHT IT BACK AT 1K MILES THEY NEEDED TO "TOP IT OFF" AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK AGAIN AT 2K MILES. THE DEALER ALSO MENTIONED THAT IF NEXT OIL CHECK IT WAS SHOWING LOW, THEY MAY NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE.
