2018 Jeep Compass

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE TURN SIGNALS AND BLIND SPOT MONITOR FAILED TO WORK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS IN A CONSTANT LOOP OF TURNING ON AND OFF. TALLAHASSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (3987 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304) SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT FOR DECEMBER 9, 2019. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE, VARYING ISSUES WITH MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS SINCE I BEGAN LEASING THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2018. IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO ALONE, THE CAR HAS HAD THE UCONNECT SYSTEM REPLACED OR FIXED 4 TIMES, THE BRAKES WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED, IT BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF OIL AT 6,000 MILES, AND NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

SAME ISSUE 2X NOW AND FEEL MY LIFE AND OTHERS ARE JEOPARDIZED. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY COMING TO A RED LIGHT SLOWING DOWN FOR THE LIGHT TO THEN TURN GREEN WHILE PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR STALLED, SHUT DOWN AND EMERGENCY BRAKE TURNED ON, NOTHING WOULD WORK. I COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO EVEN MOVE THE CAR OFF THE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS NEARLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE FIRST INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I SAID SO WHILE I'M DRIVING, GETTING ON A HIGHWAY 1.5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING MY HOME MY CAR WILL JUST SHUT DOWN? THE ANSWER WAS YES! UNACCEPTABLE!! HOW ABOUT THE CAR NOT TURNING ON DUE TO LOW OIL OR THINGS OF SUCH INSTEAD OF THE CAR TURNING ON AND ALLOWING YOU TO DRIVE ENOUGH TO GET UP TO 50 MPH THEN JUST SHUTTING DOWN. AGAIN TODAY AND CAR IS BEING TOWED TO DEALER. I HAVE UCONNECT AND RECEIVE EMAILS OF MY CAR DIAGNOSTICS. ONLY 3 DAYS AGO IT SENT A "SUGGESTED" OIL CHANGE. UNDERSTAND THAT UCONNECT HAS AN "IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED" ALERT. IF THE CAR SHUTS DOWN I WOULD ASSUME THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE ACTION NOT A SUGGESTION. THERE IS NO OIL INDICATOR ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN AND MUST BE IMMEDIATELY. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO ANY AND ALL NEWS STATIONS THAT WILL HEAR MY STORY AND READ THE HUNDREDS REPORTED IF LEGITIMATE ACTION IS NOT TAKEN SPECIFIC TO THIS LIFE SAFTEY ISSUE! I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 2017 AND AN AIRBAG BLEW MY LEFT EYE APART AND HAS LEFT ME BLINDED IN ONE EYE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE TO MAKE ME FEEL SAFE DUE TO THE BLIND SPOT ALERT FUNCTION. I NOW HAVE TO BE CONCERNED THAT I MAY JEOPARDIZED THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS OVER AN OIL CHANGE?! I HOPE THIS REACHES THE RIGHT SOURCE AND I HOPE THEY READ THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER REPORTS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME OR JEEP WILL BE ON THE NEWS AND ALL THOSE THAT TURNED A CHEEK. *DT *DT CONSUMER STATED HER FIANC STOPPED AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND AGAIN THEY ARE STATING THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE OIL IS LOW.*JB

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP, CHECK ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION, SERVICE ENGINE SOON ALL LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AT 5,000 MILES. THE ERROR CODES ARE: P3506 AND P2AF5: CYLINDER MISFIRE FAULT DETECTED, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, SENSOR REFERENCE VOLATAGE CIRCUIT LOW, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT 1 LOW. THE VEHICLE IS 16 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 7,000 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES, THE LAST 3 YESTERDAY. ALL CITY DRIVING, ONCE IN THE DRIVEWAY. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WON'T TURN OFF, BUT YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD. IF YOU WAIT ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES, ALL RETURNS TO NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EVENT. MAYBE IN A WEEK, MAYBE IN 5 MINUTES.

I LEASE MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS. ON FOUR OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS STALLED AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE. TWO OF THE STALLING HAS BEEN IN TRAFFIC WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION (HIGHWAY AND INTERSECTION). EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT DID STALL AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP SO I LEFT IT AGAIN. ON ALL THE OCCASIONS DEALER HAD A LOOK THEY SAID IT WAS A PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED, THEN A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEN SAYING THEY LEFT TOO MUCH CLEANER. JUST LAST WEEK I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL TANK. I DROVE 100 MILES MILES AND THE FUEL INDICATOR DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. I KNOW WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS I HAVE A TOTAL RANGE OF 326 MILES. THEN THE TOTAL RANGE NUMBER KEPT FLUCTUATING. AT ONE POINT IT SAID I HAD 328 MILES LEFT THEN WENT DOWN TO 200 THEN BACK UP TO 300 ALL WITHIN 6 MILES OF DRIVING WITH A 3/4 TANK FULL. THEREFORE IT WASN'T ACCURATE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT I JUST HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE LAST WEEK. AT THIS POINT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND AM SCARED FOR THE NEXT TIME MY CAR DECIDES TO STOP WHILE DRIVING. IT IS UNSAFE AND A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS.
