3 Engine Overheat problem of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee

Failure Date: 12/16/2016

My 2014 Jeep Cherokee has randomly been popping up a must be in park to shift message followed by the battery sign and then just stalling out. The dealership is attributing this to low oil level. My car never gives any kind of message that states the oil level is low and is not showing that the vehicle yet needs an oil change. Dealership states its because of intermittent oil pressure. The car stalls out to protect the engine from over heating. I think this is a very unsafe feature for my call to stall out with out any warning in the middle of a busy main city street. This happened four times in five days before I finally demanded the dealership provide me a loaner car because their next available appointment was 3 weeks out.
