Consumer Description
During the last several months my car has been unexpectedly stalling. It has happened under several circumstances. It happened while driving, sitting at a stop light and even shortly after I started it. I have seen online that this is a widespread problem with this Jeep engine and there are dozens if not hundreds of similar instances posted online about this sudden unexpected stall. No recall has ever been issued and it is an extremely dangerous problem to have your car unexpectedly stop while driving in traffic or worse driving on a busy freeway. My car has had a recall for excessive oil consumption, and this was supposedly fixed by the dealership. The dealership and online complaints seem to tie this problem to these unexpectedly low oil levels being linked to the stalling. The dealership said to watch my oil consumption carefully and to make sure I have regular oil changes. I have been very careful to always change my oil when recommended. This is a potentially deadly problem for a large number of vehicles and I hope the NHTSA will investigate as soon as possible and force Chrysler to issue a recall and fix. Thank you for your time.
