Consumer Description

PURCHASED VEHICLE JULY 2019. TODAY I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE D LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS ON A HWY RD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT TOOK A COUPLE TRIES AND THE CAR FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAS A MOTOR THAT HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OIL ISSUES AND JEEP NOT FIXING IT, THEY'RE JUST TELLING THE CONSUMER TO JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING HOW MUCH I PAY A MONTH. THESE MOTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN AND IT SAYS NO RECALLS. THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE ASAP. NOW THAT M SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.
