Consumer Description

I was driving my 2018 Jeep Compass in February 2022 and had received no warning of critically low oil pressure, then my car shut itself off in an intersection and the parking brake automatically engaged, then the critically low oil warning came on. I got an oil change and they said it wasn't leaking oil. In mid-July the same issue occurred again, my car shut itself off while I was driving and engaged the parking break and I got a critically low oil warning. Had it towed to a shop and they told me I was down 4 quarts of oil even though I should not have needed another oil change for another 3,000 miles. Carfax states campain number W20, which addresses this issue but it does not appear to have ever been addressed. Had I been driving on the highway and my car turned off and engaged the parking brake automatically I could have been severely injured or killed, and put other drivers at risk. When my vehicle did shut off it was right in the middle of an intersection, which of course is also extremely dangerous as I could have been hit. The potential extensive damage to my engine from not having enough oil in my engine is also a factor I would like to mention. I am having the vehicle looked at today 7/27/22 at North Olmsted Chrystler Jeep Dodge Ram to hopefully address the issue.
