2018 Jeep Compass

CAR IS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST. IT HAS STALLED ON ME (WITHOUT WARNING) 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS DUE TO LOW OIL. TOOK TO DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD TO JUST GET AN OIL CHANGE-THEY REFUSE TO CHECK ANYTHING ELSE AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE COMPASS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES ON A CAR USING SYNTHETIC OIL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD SHUT OFF AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED AT 8100 MILES.

4800 MILES MADE MONTH FOLLOW UP OVER NEXT WEEK TRIED TO TURN OFF STOP/START FEATURE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS MPG. . I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COINCIDENCE NOT THE ISSUE BUT MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF 2/3 INTO TURN, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, COUPLE TIMES SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT NOT AT A STOP AND DIDN'T WANT TO RESTART. DAY OF CAR FOLLOW UP 3 TIMES TURNING RIGHT IT DIES AND LOW OIL PRESSURE FLICKED ON FOR ABOUT A SECOND. WAS TOLD NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THEN TODAY TOLD CHRYSLER ENGINEERS SAID NO ITS SOMETHING WITH NEW CAR AND SOLVENT CAUSING OIL ISSUE IT WAS TOO LOW BUT NOT LEAKING OUT/ I'M TOLD THEY WILL CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION EVERY 1000 MILES AND STAND BY PRODUCT, LOCAL DEALER SAID COME BACK AT 500 MILES. WHAT IF IT DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON HIGHWAY? TRADED AN OIL BURNING AUDI FOR JEEP IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE BUT NOW I'M FACED WITH NEW CAR AND WORRIED IT WILL DIE CAUSING ME TO END UP A STATISTIC. WHY DIDN'T LIGHT COME ON EARLIER AND WHY ONLY A SECOND TO WARN WHEN THE CAR WAS ALREADY SHUT DOWN WHEN IT WARNED ME? SOME RECALLS WERE MADE WHY ISN'T MINE OR OTHERS I'M READING ABOUT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. BEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (520 COLONY PL, PLYMOUTH, MA 02360) STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP COMPASSM WITH LESS THAN 5K MILES, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND LOCKED THE STEERING AND EVERYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WITHOUT HESITATION, THEY KNEW THAT IT NEEDED A BRAND NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE CAR "SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL THIS QUICKLY." THEY MADE IT SEEM AS THOUGH THIS OCCURS EXTREMELY FREQUENTLY AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE JUST BY LOOKING UP "JEEP COMPASS BURNING OIL." THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER TOLD HIM RINGS AND PISTONS IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE OLD ENGINE WAS BURNING A CRAZY AMOUNT OF OIL ENGINE WAS BURNING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL, DEALER HINTED THAT A RECALL MAY HAPPEN BECAUSE HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM WAS.*JB

WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO TURN AND THE JEEP TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE FOR IT TO START AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP DID THE SAME THING. I'M LUCKY THAT THERE WAS AN AREA FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO ON THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD OR I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE JEEP. I HAD 1K MILES LEFT TO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND GET MY OIL CHANGED ALWAYS BEFORE 5K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THESE JEEPS BURN OIL FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD AND I SHOULD BUY SYNTHETIC OIL TO CARRY IN THE JEEP AND CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLUTION, AS I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THE JEEP IF THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CARRY OIL AROUND WITH ME & CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS, AS THERE IS NO WARNING THAT YOUR OIL IS LOW BEFORE THE JEEP TURNS OFF. I TRAVEL AT LEAST 100 MILES A DAY FOR WORK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL EVERY OTHER DAY.

THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. SLOWING TO STOP AT A LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN ON SIDE STREET NO TRAFFIC. TURN WITH ACCELERATION OFF A HEAVY CONGESTED AREA TO SIDE ROAD. NO ACCIDENT TO REPORT, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ONE AT THE BUSIEST INTERSECTION IN TOWN. THE 3RD INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT READ AND CODE P2172 IS THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. ALL 3 TIMES WERE WITHIN 8 DAYS.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN MY BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP COMPASS STALLED OUT. I HAD TO QUICKLY DRIFT TO SAFETY AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE TO START AGAIN. AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ALL WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT USUALLY MEANS IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD CHECK THE OIL EVERY 500 TO 1000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THE CAR TAKES OIL AND SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ABOUT 5,000 MILES. NEVER ONCE DID I RECEIVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLES. *DT *DT*JB
