Filed Dec 31, 2018 · Engine · 100,000 miles · UT

I have had 5 different places change my oil and at every one the filter has either come off in my hand or create a gap in the filter seal which is caused oil to start spraying all over the car and leaking all over the ground. All five times this is happened the filter is either going off in my hand or had the seal of the filter start leaking oil. Spraying oil all over in the engine compartment and causing me to lose all of my oil on the ground and all over the engine unknown if this is caused any other problems inside the engine yet every time this is happened I was just about to get on the freeway I was able to go somewhere else and have it taken care of with minimal driving without oil . This is has happened five times now at different locations changing the oil every time it's happened when you just change the oil and also when it's almost time to change oil again or anytime in between that. If I had made it on the freeway with any of these times that this is happened it could have been catastrophic to my engine and cause me to crash

After lengthy oil consumption tests on car by the dealer, I was told it burns 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles and I would have to add oil at that rate. Also told this was "acceptable" by chrysler. No low oil light comes on, even when the engine totally failed and I had to have it towed to the dealership. Currently have 25000 miles after 2.5 years owned.

I had to take my vehicle in for service in august of 2014 because my vehicle completely turned off on me while at a red light. When I turned the vehicle back on, my transmission engine light came on. So I immediately took my vehicle to the dealership and they told me I had a transmission issue and they had to order a part for the transmission. I had to take my vehicle in for service again in february of 2015 because my vehicle turned off on me once again while stuck in traffic on the expressway. When I turned on my vehicle the transmission engine light came back on. Again, I took my vehicle to dealership, I was told that my vehicle was again having the same issue from the previous months before. Once again I had to take my vehicle in for service on may of 2015 because my vehicle turned off on me for the third time while at a stop light but this time my vehicle started to smell like it was burning oil. When I turned on my vehicle, my oil pressure light came on. When my car was being looked at, they told me that they did not find anything wrong with my vehicle and they also stated that " something worse had to happen to my vehicle for them fix the problem." they test drove my vehicle and they did not find anything wrong with the vehicle so it was returned to me. Something is definitely wrong with this vehicle if it keeps on shutting off on me while waiting at a red light and also smelling like burning oil and for them to tell me that nothing is wrong with my car this last visit is really upsetting. All of these scenarios have happened in less than a year of purchasing my vehicle.this is very scary and something needs to be done before this causes a crash or possibly death! I sent a letter to chrysler about this situation, and they told me that there is nothing they can do because there is no recall on my vehicle. This is so sad.
