2 times the same incident occurred 6 months apart, once in june 2019 mileage 22046 and once in december 2019 mileage 28423. Bought the car brand new in 2017. Oil is dissappearing!! The oil pressure low light will flash on - there is a loss of power - while driving - no warning! Then the light will go off. Drive to oil change business to have them check the oil level and the jeep will be 3 to 3.5 quarts low. No leak present or oil seen. Engine seems to slip while driving before this happens.

My vehicle has 15562 miles on it and is 400 miles from it's oil change. When driving vehicle on neighborhood streets it would randomly stall and shut off causing a loss of power steering and vehicle acceleration. When we arrived home we did a once over on the engine and the oil dip stick was bone dry. We called our local dealership and they mentioned that they had seen several jeep compasses with the same issue.*dt consumer stated our vehicle was about 300 miles shy of the 5000 mile suggested oil change from jiffy lube (per mfg's spec). So 4700 miles since previous oil change.

02/05/2018......bought the vehicle november 2017. Twice already while driving on the highway through rush hour traffic the dash display started flashing erratically and the car lost all power, a total shut down. No radio, no dash, no brakes, no steering. Luckily traffic was moving each time. After approximately a city block the car restarts. Dealer tested the car and could not replicate the problem after driving it 20 miles with a computer connected. I feel this can be life threatening and should be investigated before the inevitable happens. I have 2 small children and my wife with me most of the time. They recommend driving it to see if it happens again. I'm no longer comfortable driving this vehicle.
