2018 Jeep Compass

ENCIENDO EL VEHCULO PERO CUANDO ME QUEDO DENTRO DEL MISMO ENCENDIDO Y CON AIRE ACONDICIONADO ENCENDIDO POR LO MENOS 20MINUTOS SE ENCIENDE LUZ DEL MOTOR Y TRANSMISIN INDICANDO TIENE QUE SER VERIFICADO, PROCEDO APAGAR EL VEHCULO POR 2HRS Y AL ENCENDERLO NUEVAMENTE YA NO LO TIENE PERO AVECES PUEDE SALIR CORRIENDO EL VEHCULO Y EL CAMBIO SE QUEDA EN 3D NUNCA BAJA Y NO PASA DE 40MPH

SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. FIRST TIME ELECTRICAL ISSUES PREVENTED CAR FROM SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR AND CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, I HAD TO PULL FUSES TO GET CAR TO SHUT DOWN. EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT EVEN ENGAGE. SO MY DAUGHTER HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE BECAUSE SAID AUTO WAS STUCK IN REVERSE FOR OVER ONE HOUR. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS DEALERSHIP WAS NOT TRUTHFUL IN DISCLOSING THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. WEB SHOWS SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING, WHY HAS THE NTHTSA NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SETUP. I BELIEVE IT'S TIMES THAT THIS CAR GETS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

AFTER USING THE REMOTE START AND GETTING IN THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE OR PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON TO ALLOW THE WHEEL TO MOVE FREELY, IN TURN ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FORWARD ON A HILL WITHOUT BEING FULLY TURNED ON THUS NOT ALLOWING FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN POSITION. WHEN IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, AFTER PLACING IT BACK INTO PARK THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT START BUT CONTINUED TO BE ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLES START/STOP WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED FOR FOR UP TO 3 MINUTES THEN THE CAR VERY SUDDENLY SHOOK, POWERED DOWN, AND I WAS ABLE TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR VIA THE START/STOP BUTTON AND NORMAL OPERATION WAS RESUMED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOCKED IN REVERSE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS ENGINE WILL NOT SHUT OFF,SHIFT WILL NOT MOVE OR DISENGAGE, HAVE TO HOLD BRAKE PEDDLE DOWN OR HAVE ACCIDENT. NO SHUT DOWN, HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE PULL FUSE UNDER THE HOOD TO SHUT CAR OFF. WAS IN MOTION IN REVERSE IN A PARKING LOT, ALMOST HIT CAR BEHIND ME. SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS ONLINE 2018 JEEP COMPASS SHIFTER LOCKING

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AT TIMES, MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR. NOTED TIMES ARE WHEN CRESTING A HILL (STAYS IN 4TH GEAR AT HIGHER RPM'S UNTIL CAR LEVELS OUT OVER THE HILL) AND ALSO WHEN CRUISING AT LOW SPEED (30-35MPH) WHEN RPM'S ARE LOW. ALL OTHER GEAR SHIFTS ARE SMOOTH. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR UPGRADES VIA COMPUTER. ONE UPGRADE WAS MADE BUT DID NOT CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ANOTHER 2018 JEEP COMPASS WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAME THING, GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT 'THAT IS HOW IT IS.' THIS IS NONSENSE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH STANDARD DRIVING PRACTICES.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK OR BUMP HARD ENOUGH FOR SEAT BELT TENSION SYSTEM TO JERK YOU INTO THE SEAT. WOULD MOSTLY HAPPEN AT A CONSTANT 30 MPH OR LOWER SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE. ALTHOUGH WOULD ALSO HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON ACCELERATION SUCH AS ON RAMP OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF THIS AND AFTER A TOUCH SCREEN SAFETY UPDATE TO KEEP THE DISPLAY FROM FLASHING FULL BRIGHTNESS AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO PRIVATE ENTRY OF WORK (GATE THAT REQUIRES RFID BADGE) AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO MISS FROM HITTING US AT ONLY 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. LUCKY WE WERE ONLY DOING AROUND 20 MILES AN HOUR AND HAD OUR BLINKER ON. THE TECH THAT TOOK 22 DAYS TO WORK ON THE MOTOR OF THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THE MOTOR TURNED IT SELF OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 5 PSI DUE TO A PLASTIC PART IN ENGINE CLOGGING. I ASKED WHY THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND HE SAID IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO COME ON UNTIL 3 PSI AND IT WILL NEVER SHOW CAUSE THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF FIRST. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE YOU HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING ON LOW OIL LEVEL OR LOW OIL PSI. ON NEARLY ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE MARKET IF YOU HAVE AN 18 WHEELER COMING UP BEHIND YOU AT HIGH SPEED AND GOING TO HIT YOU AND YOU HEAR A DING AND SEE YOU HAVE LOW OIL YOU CAN SPEED UP AND GET TO A SAFE DISTANCE TO PULL OVER OR PULL OVER RIGHT THEN AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR TO KEEP FROM MESSING IT UP. JEEP HAS DECIDED THAT THEIR MOTOR IS WORTH MORE THEN THE LIFE OF THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEM. YOU SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNS ITSELF OFF IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT SAFELY AND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE INFORMED CHOICES. YOU HAVE LOW BATTERY ALERT LOW FUEL ALERT TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT MAKE TURN OFF AND WHY BUT THEY DESIGNED IT TO TURN OFF WITHOUT ALERTS

VEHICLE LEASED NEW BEGAN TO HAVE GRUMBLING, LOAD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AT 37MPH. TOOK TEST DRIVE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME NOISE. JEEP SAID KNOWN ISSUE WAITING FOR UPDATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER UPDATED TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE LINE MODULE. NOISE STILL THERE, IF VECHILE PLACED IN 4X4 OR ESC TURNED OFF NOISE WILL DISAPPEAR. NOISE SOUNDS LIKE IT CAN BE DRIVELINE OR TRANSMISSION NOT IN RIGHT GEAR. CAR IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND RPM GOES HIGH. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT A FEW TIMES FOR NO REASON CAR WAS STATIONARY WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE AUTO START OFF DISABLED. HEATED STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS GET EXTREMELY HOT. SHUT DOWN ON THERE OWN AT TIMES FOR NO REASON. POOR GAS MILEAGE IS RELATED TO ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND DRIVELINE PROBLEMS

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON, RIGHT SIDE OF RPM GAUGE IS LITE UP WITH THREE BARS. VEHICLE HAS LARGE CLUNK WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND ACCELERATING, ATTEMPTS TO STALE AT LOW SPEEDS. NOTE I TURN OFF THE STOP/START SWITCH AS I DO NOT LIKE IT TO TURN OFF AT STOP SIGNS. THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT IS STILL ON. THE DEALER SAID IT COULD NOT LOOK AT MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAS 2,496 MILES ON IT. THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME I COMPLAINED THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS. VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS FOR STALLING OUT EVEN AT SPEEDS OF 10-20 MPH. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE IN MY GARAGE, IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR END IS GOING TO BUST THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS.
