Consumer Description

MY JEEP COMPASS TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE PARKING BREAK TURNS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, MORE THAN 4 TIMES. TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID DON'T WORRY YOU JUST NEED AN OIL CHANGE. I STATED THAT MY CHECK OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, AND THE CHANGE YOUR OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW? THE LIGHT ONLY FLASHES FOR A SECOND, UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES, I WAS UNAWARE THE LIGHT FLASHED. I WAS TO BUSY TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAD TO TURN ON HAZARDS, FIGURE OUT THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AND PANIC. THAT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I INQUIRED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THE ISSUE. THE ANSWER WAS NOT YET. THE 2.4 BURNS OIL, EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FIND ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT LEAST 6 MORE YEARS. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. THE JEEP HAS DIED BACKING UP IN PARKING LOT. THE JEEP DIES DURING TURNING BOTH RIGHT AND LIGHT ON BUSY STREETS. AND ONCE, I TURNED LEFT DROVE 4 CARS LENGTH AND STOPPED DEAD IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET.
