2018 Jeep Compass

WHEN MY VEHICLE HITS 47 MPH IT STARTS MAKING A VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE NOISE CONTINUES TO BE PERSISTENT UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP BUT JEEP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY SAY THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE SINCE EARLY 2018. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S DAMAGING MY VEHICLE BUT IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD.

ON 12/12/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND I-80 IN UTAH TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH. AT MILE MARKER 130 AT THE ENTRANCE TO PARLEYS CANYON AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE STALLED, LOOSING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BUT NEARLY REARENDED AND SEVERAL SEMI'S NEEDED TO DO QUICK MANUEVERS TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS AND IT WAS SUDDEN POWER LOSS NOT PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUY I EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR LACK OF POWER/ACCELERATION. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE TOWED IT TO A JEEP DEALER.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMPASS NEW. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, I HAVE TAKEN MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR REPAIR DUE TO LOSS OF OIL SEVERAL TIMES. THE LOSS OF OIL WAS FIRST NOTICED BEFORE THE FIRST 2,000 MILES ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED ON ME ON WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH OTHER LIGHTS. IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE IT DID START BACK UP EVENTUALLY. WHEN IT DID, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THE WHOLE TIME. RECENTLY, (11/16/19), WHILE DRIVING THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES LOCK UP. THE CAR WILL NOT BUDGE. IN THIS INSTANCE THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THESE ISSUES SEEM TO BE COMPLETELY RANDOM AND WITHOUT WARNING.

PURCHASED AT THE DEALERSHIP @ 5K..ENGINE STALLED @ 18K MILES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.. CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON STICK.. HAD TO BUY OIL TWICE JUST TO TAKE MY JEEP TO BE SERVICED AND HAVE AN 'OIL CONSUMPTION TEST' PERFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES, WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE.. 11K MILES LATER..'SERVICE ENGINE,' 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION,' FLASHES ON DASH. NO OIL ON STICK WITHIN 400 MILES OF NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE.. ENGINE WON'T TURNOVER/START. STRANDED WITH <30K MILES & HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE A YEAR.

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2019, MY WIFE DROVE OUR 2018 JEEP COMPASS ON A LOCAL STREET, WITHIN MINUTES, THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN SHUT OFF. BEFORE THE CAR SHUT OFF, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, THE CAR DID NOT TURN BACK ON. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 12 TIMES THE PAST 2 YEARS. I NOTICED STARTED AFTER 6K. MY OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE AND I KEEP UP WITH ALL THE OIL CHANGES ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A LEASE AND IS FREE WITH WHO I LEASE IT THROUGH, ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE 4 CHILDREN!!!!! ALSO SOUNDS A HARD KNOCKING SOUNDS WHILE ACCELERATING AS IT SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND JERKING OF THE ENTIRE CAR FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM ON MY BRAKES AS IT ALMOST CAUSED HUGE ACCIDENT AND NOT TO MENTION SHAKES ME AND MY CHILDREN UP EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS. WHY AREN'T THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS IF THERE ARE SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS?*DT CONSUMER STATED I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN ANOTHER 1K SO I WILL PROVIDE FOLLOW UP. HE SAID I'M BURNING A LITTLE MORE THAN NORMAL SO THAT'S WHY THE NEXT 1K I HAVE TO GO BACK THIS IS THE OTHER ISSUE THEY ARE SAYING IS NORMAL. 27766 5:18 PM JERK FEELING AS CHANGING GEARS 11/6/19 611 RD 27792 9:36 PM JERK FEELING 11/6/19 HULMEVILLE RD 27807 11:19 PM 11/6 REALLY BAD THUMP/JERK 611 AD AS I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE BETWEEN LANES 11/7 8:45 AM STARTED IT WITH THE REMOTE STARTER GOT IN VEHICLE PUSHED BUTTON CAR WOULDN'T START SAT IN IDLE FOR 3 MIN HAD TO KEEP PUSHING TO START. 11/18 2:28 PM 28329 TURNING ONTO MAIN ROAD SWITCHING LANES THUMB/KNOCKING /JERKING 10 MPH COUNTY LINE RD 11/19 9:07 AM 28352 GIBRALTRAR RD THUMP/JERKING DRIVING STRAIGHT AS I ACCELERATE 11/19 6:03 PM 28371 THINK WHILE GOING UP ON LINEKILN PK 11/21 6:25 28440 OUT OF PARKING LOT 3 MPH JERKING THUMPING AS CHANGING GEARS 11/30 9:47 28843 40 MPH JERKING THUMP OF CAR HILL TOWN PIKE I'M HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS CAR YOU CAN SEE THIS IS ONLY ONE MONTH. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EASTCHESTER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (718-547-5500, LOCATED AT 4007 BOSTON RD, BRONX, NY 10466) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. A LOANER VEHICLE WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO GET A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS AND THE DEALER WOULD REIMBURSE HIM. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND STRUCK HER HEAD ON THE DASHBOARD. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN HER PROPERLY AND SHE SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BACK INJURY. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WERE TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY CENTER FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED, BUT WAS NOT TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SENT SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE. THE INVESTIGATOR STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT PERFORMED AS EXPECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION IN CHICAGO MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT APPEARS TO BE ON, BUT I CANNOT ACCELERATE. I TURN THE CAR OFF, THERE'S A STALL BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY RESTARTS. NO LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AT ALL. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY COMES BACK ON, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ACTIVATED AND IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. I AM NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 2K MILES.
