2018 Jeep Compass

THE JEEP HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE TWICE. FIRST TIME WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. JEEP WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SAME DAY. REPAIRED ONCE ADVISED THERE WAS A MOTHER BOARD ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME DEALER UNABLE TO REPLICATE NO REPAIR MADE. TURN STARTED TO GET STUCK AROUND THE SAME TIME. TURN SIGNAL KEEPS GETTING STUCK HAS BEEN SENT TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ISSUE STILL NOT REPAIRED. *TR

MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS STARTED RANDOMLY OVERHEATING. WE WERE STRANDED FOR OVER 5 HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I HAD THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT REPLACED, AS THE MECHANIC THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO WORK AND WE WERE IN OUR WAY. ABOUT 2 MILES FROM OUR DESTINATION IT STARTED OVERHEATING AGAIN. THERE WAS NO STEAM, NO EXCESS SOUND FROM THE ENGINE, NO NOTHING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HAD A FULL DIAGNOSTIC RAN, ONLY TO COME BACK WITH NOTHING. WE ARE CURRENTLY DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT WITH THE HEAT ON BECAUSE ANYTIME YOU TURN ON THE AC THE ENGINE STARTS TO OVERHEAT, AND IT IS NOT EVEN 80 OUTSIDE. I LOOKED IT UP IN THE SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE JEEP COMPASS. WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO ON OUR TRIP STILL. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING CONSIDERING THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE.

CAR HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. NO TRANSMISSION FLUID AND JUST BOUGHT FROM DEALER LESS THAN 600 MILES AGO. ENGINE RUNS HOT TO THE POINT VEHICLE STOPS WHILE DRIVING. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN. BURNING THROUGH COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID AS WELL AS OIL. CAR OVERHEATS UPON ANY ACCELERATION AND SHUTS OFF. ALL OCCUR WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND LIGHTS TOO BRIGHT AT NIGHT AND CANNOT SEE YOU BACK UP WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION. CANNOT DIM. VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT IS ROUGH IN AND OUT OF GEAR (IN DRIVE TO PARKED). COULD NOT PARK WHEN STALLED.

I LEFT MY HOUSE AND DROVE ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AS I WENT TO PROCEED ONTO AN EXTREMELY BUSY ROAD MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT WOULDN'T MOVE AND TOLD ME TO SHIFT GEARS THEN PRESS THE BRAKE AND START BUTTON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WOULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH I PUT IT INTO PARK, THE D ON THE SHIFTER WAS FLASHING AND A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAID THAT IT HAD TO BE IN PARK TO START...EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. IT TOOK BETWEEN 5-7 MINUTES TO FINALLY START RUNNING, BUT GAVE NO INDICATION OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A MILE TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUE, BUT WAS MOMENTARILY IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.THE MAN WHO HELPED WE WHEN I GOT THERE SAID HE THOUGHT HE KNEW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HE SHOWED ME THAT THERE WAS HARDLY ANY OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. I REALIZE I WAS ABOUT 800 MILES PAST THE 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT JEEP SAID IT WAS ACCEPTABLE TO BURN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES. THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE TO ME AND EVERY MECHANIC THAT I'VE TALKED TO. I HAVE READ THAT THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHEN OIL IS LOW AND CHRYSLER CONFIRMED THAT. HOW DOES THIS PASS TESTING? THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT AT ALL AND CHANCES ARE THAT YOU WILL DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF YOUR CAR JUST SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. I AM GENUINELY CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIVES AND SAFETY OF OTHERS WHILE HAVING THESE FAULTY VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP AND ENGINES NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ONES THAT DON'T BURN THROUGH FUEL LIKE THIS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE ONLINE. *TR

PURCHASED 2018 JEEP COMPASS TRAILHAWK SPORT WHICH NOW AS APPROX. 28,000 MILES. AT APPROX. THE ONE-YEAR MARK OF OWNERSHIP, THE JEEP STARTED EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE AND BACK-UP CAMERA. WITH REGARD TO THE FIRST, THE VEHICLE WILL BE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, INTERSECTION, ETC. AND THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF (AUTO START/STOP FEATURE), HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON AT TIMES. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND UNKNOWN WHAT IT RESOLVES TO SPECIFICALLY. ON OCCASION WHEN THIS FAULT OCCURS, THE VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY THE AUTO START/STOP LIGHT ON THE DASH WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT NEXT TO IT. IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL IT ADVISES THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. OWNER HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION OR REMEDY. DEALERSHIPS HAVE ADVISED THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM AND UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT. THE BACK-UP SCREEN IS ALSO AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. ON OCCASION IT WILL WORK WHEREAS OTHER TIMES IT WILL SIMPLY DISPLAY A BLACK/DARK SCREEN. THE TEXT "CHECK ALL SURROUNDINGS" STILL DISPLAYS ON THE BLACK SCREEN. MOST RECENTLY, HOWEVER, OWNER OBSERVED THE SCREEN SHOWING "CAMERA SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE" WITH THE BLACK SCREEN. JEEP'S WARRANTY PROVIDER/ADMINISTRATOR HAS BEEN EXTREMELY UNRESPONSIVE IN RESOLVING THE AUTO START/STOP ISSUE. IN MANY CASES, WE AREN'T EVEN RECEIVING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE VIDEOS/PICTURES WE ARE SENDING IN TO THEIR EMAIL. AS OF LATE MARCH, OWNER IS RECEIVING A NEW BACK-UP CAMERA AFTER HAVING JUST DRIVEN THE JEEP TO A DEALER AND REQUESTING REPLACEMENT. OWNER IS CONSISTENTLY BEING TOLD TO TAKE THE JEEP INTO A DEALERSHIP, AS THE PROBLEM OCCURS, BUT DEALERSHIPS CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE AUTO START/STOP ISSUE. OWNER IS BECOMING FEARFUL IN DRIVING VEHICLE AS IT SEEMS UNRELIABLE IN OPERATING PROPERLY.

MY JEEP COMPASS TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE PARKING BREAK TURNS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, MORE THAN 4 TIMES. TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID DON'T WORRY YOU JUST NEED AN OIL CHANGE. I STATED THAT MY CHECK OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, AND THE CHANGE YOUR OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW? THE LIGHT ONLY FLASHES FOR A SECOND, UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES, I WAS UNAWARE THE LIGHT FLASHED. I WAS TO BUSY TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAD TO TURN ON HAZARDS, FIGURE OUT THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AND PANIC. THAT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I INQUIRED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THE ISSUE. THE ANSWER WAS NOT YET. THE 2.4 BURNS OIL, EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FIND ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT LEAST 6 MORE YEARS. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. THE JEEP HAS DIED BACKING UP IN PARKING LOT. THE JEEP DIES DURING TURNING BOTH RIGHT AND LIGHT ON BUSY STREETS. AND ONCE, I TURNED LEFT DROVE 4 CARS LENGTH AND STOPPED DEAD IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET.
