What owners say
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was a burning oil odor inside the vehicle. After a long trip, the vehicle was parked in the garage and the contacts’ wife notice smoke coming from under the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact drove out of the garage and sprayed the vehicle with a water hose. During the incident no flames were present. The contact stated that the cause of the failure was due to a faulty oil cooler which leaked oil onto the catalytic convertor caused the burning oil odor and smoking. The contact stated that the oil cooler had been replaced on three separate occasions. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The oil filter housing is made of plastic, causing it to easily break most likely due to overtightening when getting an oil change, then this causes oil to leak onto the exhaust pipe being a potential fire hazard, since most people go get their oil changed at a business not themselves you wouldn't know until it is too late and nobody will accept fault, jeep needs to recall and make this housing out of metal to prevent this issue.
My car has cut off twice. Took car to firestone they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Had an oil change since I was there. Called a chrysler dealer while waiting just to find out other people with my car have had the same issue with an oil consumption issue. Car cutting off. Then able to restart. Alert ding going off but nothing would light up.

My 2015 jeep cherokee latitude has stall out 3 times on me while driving on busy highways. I took the vehicle in for repair and was told this particular engine consumes oil at a fast rate and without any warning, when low, will stall unexpectedly. No warning, no oil pressure gauge alerts, car simple stalls. I am afraid the vehicle will stall and me and any occupant will be killed or seriously injured. I have notice the same complaint numerous times on line.
2015 jeep cherokee latitude 4 wheel drive. It is under warranty for transmission, etc. Using oil, ( evaporates?) and is a known issue with this make model and year. Called jeep and was advised to get it into service immediately due to known issues, but they would not allow me to make a complaint. Jeep has been trying to stall out while driving, at stops, hard shifts, brake comes on automatically, completely stopped in the middle of the road while driving, and oil has somehow disappeared from it, but no leaks.
Car stalling at low speed and also at stop. Takes several attempts to get moving again. Went in for service and car virtually out of oil. Was not even close to needing an oil change. Less than every 1000 miles there is an oil loss of atleast a quart needing to be added at oil consumption test. Extremely dangerous to drive and any type of resolution feels worlds away when our safety is jeopardized.
Driving along with vehicle in motion, the engine stalls out and continues to roll, but does not operate. Car must come to a complete stop, rest and then try to restart - very dangerous on the highway. A message comes on stating "vehicle must be in gear to shift" or something close to that - but there has been no shifting on my part at all. This stalling has put me in very dangerous conditions because cars coming from behind and around me have no warning of the stalled out engine either. It takes about 3 or 4 minutes to restart the engine. Dealership says this is an oil consumption issue and its something to do with the pistons. Another jeep service manager said the engine needs to be replaced. Its still under warranty. I fear that we're going to get hit (my daughter and I) and meanwhile, we do not have other transportation and I'm going to be paying on this for 4 more years. There is a lot of information on other people having the same complaints on the internet. For now, the dealership is doing an oil consumption test which is related to the engine problems known on other vehicles. With this many people having the same problem, this should be a recalled engine.
The vehicle's low oil light indicator only flashes across the screen and does not remain on. This only takes place when the car is completely out of oil and the car loses power and shuts off while in motion. The vehicle has no leaks but requires oil every 700 miles or so. The engine runs off synthetic oil which should have to be replaced less frequently, but this vehicle needs oil replacement every 2-3 months.
When the oil is low, and you are on a slight incline or hill the vehicle will simply shut off while driving with absolutely no warning. No warning light, no warning message. Once the vehicle shuts off it doesn't restart, until its on a flat area. This has happened several times, the last time I was stopped on a hill waiting to make a left turn when I started to go the vehicle just shut off and I was stuck in the middle of the road across two lanes of traffic. This is very dangerous and could easily get people killed. The 3yr old engine is apparently burning oil, since there is no leak and regular oil changes are done.
Car is burning oil and shutting off on the road, which I or my children, can easily get hurt or killed. Have tried to have resolved numerous times with unsatisfactory results from the car lot. As advised from the service manager this is normal under chrysler standards.
