About: FCA Oil Consumption Lawsuit

The class action lawsuit states certain Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Fiat vehicles have an oil consumption defect.

When the above vehicles consume too much oil, the oil pressure in their engines (The 2.4L Tigershark) can drop to dangerous levels. This can cause the vehicle to shut down unexpectedly, which may be hazardous or fatal to the driver.

The plaintiffs in the suit claim that they weren't told about the engine problem beforehand. As a result, they had to pay for repairs themselves once their engines failed.

So far, FCA hasn't admitted to fault on their part, but they have agreed to pay out $8 million to drivers to settle these allegations against them.

The terms of the FCA settlement detail that members of the suit can obtain extended warranty benefits through the auto manufacturer's FCA Powertrain Limited Warranty. This warranty extension covers all parts and labor required to fix this FCA/Chrysler oil consumption problem.

Notice of the FCA Oil Consumption Lawsuit
