Consumer Description
ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JUST STALL OUT. RECOMMENDED 5000 OIL CHANGES BUT DEALERS WILL SAY 3000 AND TO CHECK OIL EVERY 2 DAYS BECAUSE IT MAY NEED 4-5 QTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS STARTED WITHIN 5 MONTHS OF DRIVING IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP ARE AWARE OF ISSUES BUT NO FIX HAS BEEN DISCOVERED NOT DO THEY CARE. MY DAUGHTER AND HER 2 BABIES WERE ALMOST KILLED WHEN IT JUST STALLED EXITING A MAJOR FREEWAY AND AN 18 WHEELER RIGHT BEHIND HER...CASE MANAGER (3RD CASE SINCE 2017) AT FCA WAS 'OH, SO SCARY'. THIS IS A SERIOUS, DEADLY ISSUE AND DEALERS OMIT THINGS FROM THE SYSTEM, PERFORM THE CONSUMPTION TESTS IMPROPERLY OR DON'T RECORD THEM AT ALL SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL TOTALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE TURNING, EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL APPLY AND IT TAKES A BIT TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. SOMETIMES LIGHTS ON DASH WILL ALL FLASH ON OR SOMETIMES JUST THE OIL LIGHT (EVEN WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF AN OIL CHANGE).
