Everything with this car had been running fine. Regular maintenance. With absolutely no warning, as I was leaving a parking lot, the engine literally exploded. There are pieces of it that have been documented by the mechanics that looked at it. Thankfully I wasn't on a highway, or this could have seriously hurt people. This specific engine has a class action lawsuit against it and now i do not know what to do.

This vehicle suffers from a severe, documented manufacturing defect where the engine silently and rapidly consumes motor oil without leaving any puddles on the ground. The vehicle recently consumed all of its oil down to a completely dry dipstick between routine service intervals, presenting a critical engine-stalling hazard while driving at highway speeds. Sudden engine stalling on a major highway creates an immediate risk of a severe rear-end collision and compromises power steering and braking controls, presenting an extreme safety risk for my daughter who operates the vehicle. The manufacturer officially acknowledged this defect via the XB1 Warranty Extension Campaign. However, my local dealership and Stellantis corporate customer care have refused to honor the safety tracking or engine repair, claiming the vehicle has aged out of a strict 7-year calendar restriction. The official manufacturer portal still explicitly tracks this VIN as having an active, open campaign status reading: "INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE." The manufacturer is actively refusing to remedy a verified, live defect campaign on a vehicle with only 71,000 miles, leaving an unsafe and stalling-prone vehicle on public roads. I am requesting a federal safety investigation into Stellantis's refusal to honor open oil-consumption defect campaigns.
