I noticed my 2009 Dodge Journey started burning oil. I took to the dealership keffer Chrysler Jeep Eagle to have a consumption test run on it. Come to find out my Journey burned almost 4 quarts of oil after 1700 miles. There were not warning lights that came on to tell me there was an issue with my car. I bought my car new with 12 miles on it. I have attempted to contact Chrysler to see if they would pay mine off and I would upgrade. Everyone I talked to keep saying they can not make those decisions, maybe contact the NHTSA. Chrysler has not replied back yet. The dealer I am working with seems to be more interested in making a new sale with others then addressing the current issues with a loyal Dodge/Chrysler owner. This vehicle has failed at 50,000 miles. The reply I received is "we are better now, that is why we offered the powertrain warranty". you are lucky. Yeah, lucky me paying for a car I can not drive and no assistance from Chrysler. Sure, they are repairing this and they tell me there should not be any charges to me. I guess we will see. There is one thing they took from me that won't come back with any repairs. My peace of mind.
