2004 Jeep Wrangler burning alot of oil. Mechanic refuses to repair. The engine used to burn a half a quart of oil between oil changes. That has increased to 1 quart of oil between oil changes. The manufacturer said this was normal and refused to fix the vehicle. The driver's side plastic window cracked.

2004 Jeep Wrangler sport with 4.0 I-6 engine. Would stall after complete warm up while idling in gear. Dealer installed heat shield over fuel injector, but still have stalling problems on cold start. No lights or anything come on. Only had 400 miles on it when first occurred. Now, at 16000 miles, I'm having stalling on cold starts in warm weather only. In the winter, the vehicle runs great. Dealer cannot recreate the problem, and do not know what to do.

Will sometimes stall when puttin into gear. Dealer has changed fuel pump and put a shield over one of the fuel injectors. Still having the hard starting problem.
