NHTSA Complaint #11372930 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AS IT WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE ANYWAY. THEY TOLD ME MY OIL LEVEL WAS 3.5 QUARTS LOW AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE USING THAT MUCH OIL BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I TOOK IT TO JEEP WHERE THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND JUST TOLD ME THAT THIS ENGINE IS KNOWN TO BURN THAT MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND JEEP DEEMS IT AS 'ACCEPTABLE' BECAUSE THE OWNERS MANUEL STATES TO CHECK OIL LEVELS AT EVERY FILL UP AND ADD OIL AS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN A SAFE OIL LEVEL. HOW IS IT EVEN ACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW 2017 VEHICLE TO BURN 3.5 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES? WHY DOES JEEP FIND IT ACCEPTABLE THAT I NEED TO CARRY OIL AROUND IN MY CAR 'JUST IN CASE' IT GETS LOW? WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE?!
