Consumer Description

MY CAR IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TWICE WHILE DRIVING. VERY QUICKLY A 'LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING' SIGN WILL FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD, AND SOON AFTER THE CAR BECOMES LIMP AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. IT WILL NOT MOVE AND DOESN'T ALLOW FURTHER DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND MY OIL IS LOW, EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 2500 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THEY ARE HAVING ME COME BACK AFTER 500 MILES TO MONITOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS, AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHEN I'M ON MAIN ROADS WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH PREVIOUS JEEPS I'VE OWNED.
