here is s few comments and questions

1<<>>IF ITS NORMAL for SOME jeeps to burn oil WHY isnt it on the sticker at the dealership?? 2011 jeep wrangler,,26000.00$ 5 year warrenty<<>>MAY burn oil may not???
2<<>>if i buy a jeep that dosent have oil consumption,,then i have bought a perfect jeep,,how can someone who has to put in 1 quart of oil every 1000 kms have a PERFECT jeep aswell???
3<<>>how can chrysler get away with selling jeeps that have this issue? shouldnt there be a recall??
4<<>>how does someone suspose to know if there buying a jeep that has oil consumption? if i would have new MY JEEP eat oil,,,i would have bought a jeep that DIDNT eat oil,,it might allright in chryslers eyes,,,but its not in mine

5<<>>i borrowed 18000$,,i have to pay 350 a month for 5 years,,i feel as if im totally getting RIPPED OFF,,i dont have alot of money,,,im a working man,,house payments,,car payments,,wife and kids..why is it MY FAULT that my jeep is eating oil?

all im saying is i REGRET not learning about oil consumption b4 i bought my jeep i had NO IDEA it even existed,,i wish the dealer would have told me,,im spending 20 grand on a jeep,,it MIGHT burn oil,,it MIGHT not becasue i would have NEVER HAD bought 1,,,

im 33 years old,,my plan was to build my jeep up,,but this has got me so discouraged..

1 good thing is the local jeep dealership SO FAR,,is 100% going to help me and support me,,,we have started the process of keeping track of the oil..my warrenty runs out sept 2012..

i also have another question<<>>ok if it comes back that my jeep is burning the proper amount of oil in chryslers eyes,,,WILL this effect my jeep?? or at some point<<>>CHANCES are after its off warrenty,,will i have to replace the engine??

HOW in the year 2011 can a company sell a 20/30 thousand dollar machine with this kind of trouble and NOT stand up under the warrenty is BEYONDDDD ME,,i feel so robbed

sorry guys for complaining,,if i had loads of money i wouldnt mind,,but i gotta have this jeep for atleast 5 years,,its my to and from work,,everyday use vehicle
