Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee

Vehicle is stalling due to excessive oil consumption. . . . . No oil indicator light comes on. But vehicle even when oil indicator gage says there is oil. . . . The oil is low and causes stalling. There is a recall for this vehicle for excessive oil consumption. Stalls when vehicle is stationary in traffic. Brought the car in for oil consumption test. They said everything was normal and to change oil every 3000. Thuis does not fix the underlying issue. Reading online there seems to be a class action suit and dealerships are not helpful with this issue. Nervous to drive long distance especially when no indicator lights illuminate to let you know you are low on oil.

Car turns off while driving. No maintenance indication on dash. I check the oil and there is no oil even after a recent oil change. All maintenance has been with the same dealership car service. This has ocurred 5 times since purchase. Car service team has changed maintenance frequency to every 1300 miles to monitor oil consumption but have not determined root cause. Again, this has happened while driving (all 5 times) on city streets.

Car burns oil at an excessive rate-pouring in about a quart per week. If it gets too low (even before suggested oil change mileage) the engine shuts off while driving. No warning or indicator lights. The entire engine shuts off while you are driving down the road. Currently happened 3 times to me-oil was low each time. Very scary!.

Oil consumption on vehicle with less than 50k miles. 3 to 4 quarts low at every 5000 mile oil change. Causing vehicle to shut down while driving on city street. No warning light to inform you of low oil.

Bought Jeep had it for approx. 7 months (October 2019) and it would shift really hard, then one day driving from home to store, the Jeep just stalled on street, turned off engine, restarted and drove to destination. I brought my Jeep in 4x before they had replaced a whole new engine due to it burning oil. Roughly 3 months later (January), Jeep was in driveway, drove to work and twice the same day slammed into gears, took it back to Jeep, they said gears needed to be reset. It seems when I use 4x4 to snow, its fine, when I turn it off a couple days later it slams into gears. Yesterday (March 2020) vehicle was parked in driveway, reversed to leave and lights came on dash for shifter needs repair, turned off engine, restarted, resumed driving and lights were off. Parked Jeep in drive way, next morning reversed and drove to work, reversed into space and lights came on again that shifter needed maint repair. I have now 53,000 miles. I take Jeep in again to be looked at for shifter. I have taken this vehicle in at least 11 times so far for engine, gears slamming, shift saying needs maint repair. Since June 2019.

Irregular oil consumption in the 2. 4 liter model of the Jeep Cherokee. While driving on the highway the car shut off due to low oil pressure. There was not any warning and the car was not due for an oil change.

The engine burns through all of the oil in about 1500 miles of driving. Oil has to be filled in between oil changes or engine will stop with no warning or oil light. . . Engine stops while moving.

I have a 2018 Jeep Cherokee with under 30,000 miles on it. My car's stalled in the middle of an intersection while taking a right turn. My brakes and steering were locked, causing me to drift up on to a curb and hit a sign. No warning or indicator lights came on in the car prior to this. I had the car towed to the dealership that I am leasing the car from. I was told that this is common with Jeeps, that the car will burn through oil very quickly, that no low oil indicator light will come on, and that the engine will shut down as a �safety feature. � I was told that there is nothing I can do to protect myself beyond getting oil changes every 3k miles and that it �should� be fine. Again, there is absolutely no warning that the car will shut down or that there is an issue prior to it turning off while in motion. The car shutting off while in motion was referred to as a safety feature by the dealership who would only offer me an oil change as a fix.

My 2018 Jeep Cherokee latitude plus shut off while driving. The first time (12/8/2019 @ 1200 hrs) I was pulling up to a stop sign and it just shut off. No dash indicator warning lights and it had plenty of fuel. The second time (12/9/2019 @ apprx 1600 hrs)I was turning left onto a very busy city street and it shut off. I was able to coast to the side of the road so I wouldn't get hit. Again no warnings at all. After apprx 10 minutes car was able to restart. Drove straight to dallas Dodge(apprx 23 miles. ) they said it was low on oil. Should add oil or get oil change. But since they were closing they did not have anyone who could help. Also said an oil consumption test needed to be done, but they could not perform it. Oil change places were closed. I drove to auto zone and purchased a 5 qt bottle of synthetic oil. Added 3 qts. To fill. 16-dectook car to appointment @ ed voyles. They had to add 1. 5 qts of oil. Said to bring it back in 1000 miles or if oil got low before that, bring it in so they can measure it and document amount of time and mileage. 4-jan2nd oil consumption test at ed voyles. They had to add 1 qt. Said to come back in 1000 miles 1/15/20203rd oil consumption test. Required 2 quarts to be added. Service dept said engine needs to be replaced. They will call Chrysler/Jeep warranty to order new engine. However, they said they will not provide a courtesy vehicle I will have to rent one.

My 2018 Jeep Cherokee latitude has been stalling due to high oil consumption (per the dealer). The stalls happen while driving when braking or making turns. There is no warning, the engine just shuts off, with loss of power steering. When this occurs, need to come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park and wait a couple minutes. As you can imagine, this is extremely dangerous as it has happened on the highway and in city driving. In two scenarios, I was almost rear ended and in another, I stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. I've taken the Jeep to my dealership who tells me that this is a known issue and they can't do anything about it. They suggested I do an "oil consumption test" to see if the engine is performing as designed, which entails me bringing the vehicle to the dealership every 1,000 miles to check oil levels (extremely inconvenient). I've also opened a case with Chrysler/fiat who says I need to complete the consumption test before they can make any determination. I've researched this issue and there are hundreds of Jeep owners complaining of the same issue. Chrysler/fiat needs to do something about this issue as it is extremely dangerous. Please let me know if there is any additional information needed.

Starting at 25k miles, the vehicle started to burn through oil even before the next oil change. The manual states to go off the oil system light, dealers say different. Oil had 14% left, but the car kept shutting off while driving on the highway. Went to dealer, car burned through all the oil. They refused to check for engine damage and force me to pay for a full oil change. Stated by the dealer, its a known issue with Jeep and there is no fix for it. Now at 33k, check engine light came on, cylinder 4 misfire. Coil pack needs replaced. This is a TSB that was posted at dealers but not given to consumers. Also airbag connection under driver seat comes loose and causes warning lights to service airbag. 10k miles. Dealer said to plug back in and just keep dealing with it.

25,000 miles was turning right onto ramp to enter highway when battery came on and engine stalled right when I began to accelerate. Took to dealership where they initiated an oil consumption test. 1,000 miles into oil consumption test engine light came on and stayed on. Car was only 1/2 quart low on oil and was in the process of a controlled oil consumption test. Have read an overwhelming amount of reports of 2018 Cherokees with the same 2. 4l engine stalling while the drivers is actively driving vehicle anywhere from 25 mph to 70 mph on the highway.

Service shifter light always on in motion and in park. Burns 1 qt of oil every 2000 miles vehicles jerks when trying to accelerate in motion.

Vehicle started stalling randomly. It start with a chime on turns and progressed to this. Took it to dealer and they said it was low in oil just had oil changed 3 months prior. They found off valve was bad replaced. Vehicle then started burning gas 20 miles and half tank. Took back to sewer for oil consumption test. Problem with stalling started again. Dealer couldn't replicate issue.

My Jeep Cherokee has been shutting off while driving. This car was purchased brand new. This has happened several times. The original dealership, keffer Chrysler Jeep in charlotte, nc, has not returned any of my calls about this issue so I've had to go to another dealership to get this issue resolved. I have to take the vehicle for oil consumption tests but I do not feel safe in this vehicle because of the fact that it shuts off while driving. The last time it shut down I was on a main highway and was almost hit.

Burning one quart of oil every 1,400 to 1,500 miles since it turned 30,000 miles.

Vehicle while driven made an alert ping when making left and right hand turns with no other indicator. Following day vehicle completely shut down while driving on the interstate at 55 mph with oil pressure indicator illuminated as well as multiple errors about placing vehicle in drive and shifting (although vehicle is an automatic). Dealership contacted and vehicle brought in for inspection. Dealer concluded that engine had no oil, although internal indicators failed to advise and showed vehicle had 17% oil life remaining and 300 miles until scheduled oil change. Dealer advised that vehicle is known to burn oil at a rate of 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles, however, this was not consistent with when the previous oil change had occurred, when asked why vehicle burns oil at such a rate, was advised it is normal and not to worry about it. Several other people have complained and reaction from dealership varied from it was normal to may be an issue with the engine.

About a month and a half ago I was making a uturn on a city street and the car chimed. The car now chimes every time I make any type of turn. I took it in to the dealership and they are saying that the engine is burning the oil therefore I had no oil in my car. They told me I now have to bring the car in every 500 miles to do a test and if the engine is still burning the oil the engine will need to be replaced.

Ever since I purchased the vehicle I can not go more than 3,000 miles after an oil change without the vehicle shutting off on my and being bone dry on oil on the dip stick. I keep being told this particular model just burns a little extra oil but there is something wrong. It is shutting off on me in the middle of highways while I'm driving and is very unsafe. I have two small children and do not trust to put them in this car.

Excesive oil consumption. 1 quart every 750 to 800 miles.

I bought a brand new 2018 Jeep latitude and at 4300 miles it started acting up and shut down right in the middle of the road I was traveling. I had to use roadside assistance and have it towed. Jeep stated that it was burning a quart of oil every 1000 miles stated it was 4 quarts of oil low. They also stated that they didn't know where it was burning from either. Told me to drive it 1000 miles and bring it back. I don't even have a warning that my oil was low it it just shut down.

On two different occasions the engine shut off unexpectedly and without warning while driving. Once on a hill, the next time on a highway. There were no indicator lights or other warning systems in place. When it happened the steering failed as did all braking systems. The car was brought back to the dealership. Both times oil was below readable level. It was also low prior to dealer recommended oil change period. I was told an oil consumption test needed to be done, but it was safe to drive. When oil consumption was deemed low, I was told that Jeep corporation required that the test be repeated and to drive another 1,000 miles. I contacted customer relations and was told "independent dealerships can decide how to handle this problem". Then it was recommended that I see if a different dealer might be more helpful. No safety actions were taken by the dealership's service department.

- 2. 4l excessive oil consumption - new engine at 8k miles - emissions issues tripping the check engine light - air conditioner went out - computer/electrical issues with dash and interior - transmission stalling in traffic. - cannot maintain speed with cruise control - once parts are removed for repair they cannot be replaced properly and end up falling off. Fca America know about all these issues and continues to produce these cars at a price way above their value. Bottom line they are a fraudulent business that is producing crappy vehicles.
