Consumer Description

THIS JEEP CHEROKEES OIL IS EVAPORATING CAUSING MY CAR TO CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WAY. I CHECK MY OIL EVERY OTHER DAY. MY OIL EVAPORATES WHILE DRIVING I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS 5 TIMES. THIS VEHICLE ALSO CUTS OFF AND SAY SHIFTER AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN THE VEHICLE OFF LET SIT FOR 5 MINUTES THEN RESTART. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO GET A TUNE UP AT 50000 MILES DUE TO MANUFACTURAL DEFECT ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC AN ALERT SHOWED THEM WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN STRUCK BY OTHER VEHICLES WHILE I AM TRYING TO GET OVER LANES TO PULL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SO MUCH SO I WILL NOT DRIVE WITH MY GROWN CHILDREN AND DEFINITLY NOT MY GRANDCHILDREN.
