2018 Jeep Compass

A few months after purchase, my hazard lights came on while the vehicle was off and parked in my driveway. I couldn't get them to turn off until I disconnected the battery. I scheduled a diagnostic with the jeep dealership and before I could get it in, it started happening while I was driving it as well. I never know when it's going to happen. At the diagnostics appointment, they told me it's a problem with the electrical system but that they weren't sure exactly what is causing it. They offered to replace two parts at about $1,500 cost to me that "might" keep it from happening again. They wouldn't honor the warranty. When I reached out to Jeep directly, they told me it isn't covered. Since then it's gotten worse. The auto start/stop system doesn't work. Sometimes the hazard lights won't come on at all. I've been pulled over for driving with them on and I've been unable to turn them on when I needed them. I spoke with someone at Jeep again today because they have been on for that last 2.5 hours and I have to start my car periodically to keep the battery from dying, and was told I needed to take it to another dealership and pay for another diagnostic. I don't feel safe driving this car. I stopped at rest area recently and my hazards stuck on when I got back in the car. I disconnected the battery to reset it but it happened again as soon as the battery was reconnected. I had to drive on the highway with them on. I can't signal lane changes or turns and people get in front of me, slow down, and turn their hazards on to try and let me know that mine are too. This isn't safe and Jeep won't take care of it.

While driving the "coolant temperature high" warning message occasionally pops up and it shows that the temperature is as high as it can go on the temperature meter. It will then shut my engine down and not allow me to resume driving until I completely turn my car off and back on again. After turning it back on, my coolant temperature always reads completely normal between 190-200 degrees Fahrenheit. This problem has occurred multiple times including while I have been on the interstate, in the middle of an intersection, and in heavy traffic. My safety has been severely put at risk multiple times as my car has stopped moving while I was in the process of turning in an intersection and risked being hit from behind and from the side. I have also been in heavy interstate traffic and have been unable to pull-over before my car fully stops moving which puts me at high risk of being hit. I have taken my car to the dealership to have it looked at and they ran diagnostics which showed that there has never been an issue with my coolant system. They have since done an electrical diagnostic as well with which they could not find an issue relating to the coolant system. They replaced my auxiliary battery as they believed it was bad and could have been the cause of my electrical issues and this seemed to cause the issue to go away for a month and a half, but then it started occurring again. The issue also occurs very spontaneously and I have not noticed any signs prior to the issue occurring. Given that it could potentially be days, weeks, or a month before the issue reoccurs, the dealership has not been able to witness the error message or what happens. This issue has occurred on and off for about a year and a half but has started occurring more frequently lately with about seven occurrences in the past five months, the most recent being a significant concern for my safety with my car stopping in an intersection while turning during rush hour.

While stopped at a red light the vehicle just shut off would not start all the lights on the dash information were illuminated. After several minutes of sitting in traffic vehicle did start. Approximately 15 minutes later the same thing happened while driving in traffic.was sitting in moving traffic very dangerous.Drove directly to Jeep Dealer luckily I have a extended warranty but I had to pay a 100.00 deductible out of my pocket. And was told by Dealer that it is fixed a Hood sensor.

Vehicle has intermittently turned itself off while driving, locks the brake, and will not restart for a few minutes. Causing a serious safety concern as its happened while driving down the interstate. I have taken it to two different repair shops that can not find a cause. Currently the Jeep will not turn all the way on saying electronic brake engaged, but will also not turn off saying the car is not in park.
