Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR TWO MONTHS AND DROVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND MY 2017 JEEP CHEROKEE APPARENTLY BURNED OFF MOST OF THE OIL WITHIN THAT TIME AND NO LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL WAS LOW. I WOULD START DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THERE IS NO REASON WHY A OIL LIGHT SHOULDN'T WARN YOU, THE ONLY WARNING YOU GET IS YOUR CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT SAFE! HERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
