“The motor quit running while turning onto an on-ramp (25mph), and the readout on the dash said ' low oil pressure '. I had to come to a complete stop, put it in park, and press the brake and push the start button. It started up after a couple of tries, and I drove onto the interstate without it reoccurring. This has happened twice now. It also happened on 01/11/2021.”
NHTSA complaint #11387962, filed 2021-01, 28,500 miles“My Jeep has shut down three times while I was pulling into traffic, low oil pressure warning came on. I get my oil change regularly and I only have 25,000 miles on it. I took it to dealer and was told that my Jeep is known for burning a lot of oil. What can I do, it scares me to drive it. Please help!”

I don't know what just happened.”
