2018 Jeep Compass

MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS HAS HAD BOTH KEY FOBS DIE WITHIN 2 YEARS OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MOST CONCERNING THING IS THAT MY VEHICLE WILL START AND I CAN DRIVE AND THEN MY CAR WILL SAY 'KEY FOB NOT DETECTED' AND I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A GREAT FEATURE IF SOMEONE WHERE TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY WITH MY CAR, HOWEVER I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND I HAVE THEY KEYS INSIDE. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS THAN THE SUMMER. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE WINTER COLD CAUSES THE BATTERY OF THE KEY FOB TO DRAIN OR NOT WORK PROPERLY. MY CAR WILL NOT START OR UNLOCK, THEN ONCE I AM ABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IT HAS A DIFFICULT TIME DETECTING THE KEY FOB (EVEN WHEN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION MANUAL SHOT A DEAD FOB). THE VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY DETECT THE FOB AND START. THEN ON MY DRIVE THE KEY FOB NEEDS TO BE ON THE DASH NEXT TO THE START ENGINE BUTTON SO I CAN DRIVE AND EVEN THEN IT CAN RESULT IN NOT BEING DETECTED AND STALLING THE VEHICLE. I FIND THIS A VERY CONCERNING ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE IS STALLING AND THE OIL ON THE VEHICLE IS BEEN CONSUME RAPIDLY I TOOK MY CAR AND TOLD THE DEALER THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL THEY ASKED ME TO PLEASE TAKE IT EVERY TIME THE ENGILE OIL LIGHT WILL COME ON WHICH IT'S VERY OFTEN. ENGINE OIL MONITORS FAIL TO ENGAGE PRIOR TO ENGINE STALLING- I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR STARTED STALLING LUCKLY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND I REACHED OUT TO THE DEALER AT CHRYSLER IN ELGIN IL - THEY HAD ME DROP MY VEHICLE AND OFFER ME A RENTAL. CLAIMING THAT THEY WILL CONTACT CHRYSLER - JEEP TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACE OR FIXED THE ISSUE SINCE THEY MENTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE A NUMEROUS CUSTOMER WITH THE SAME ISSUE VEHICLE AT RISK OF SUDDEN ENGINE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING,' THE JEEP COMPASS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ALLEGES. BUT TODAY I WAS NOTIFY TO RETURN THE RENTAL BACK AND THAT I MUST DRIVE MY CAR AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ONCE I REACH 1,000 MILES I TALK TO RACHEL THE ASSISTANT MANAGER TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE REF# NUMBER AND PROOF THAT SHE CONTACTED JEEP AND SHE DECLINE STATING SHE DIDNT GET ONE. -- I ON THE OTHER HAND WENT ONLINE AND FILE A COMPLAIN WITH JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE ONLINE AND RECEIVED A REF # RIGHT AWAY.. ( WHICH IS WHY I DON'T BELIEVE THE ASSISTANT MANAGER AT ELGIN CHRYSLER.. SHE DOESN'T HAVE PAPERWORK OF IT OR ANYTHING) I'M STILL WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION OR HEAR FROM JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE THIS IS MY REFERENCE # 77965874

SINCE THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT I COMPLAINED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING GETTING WORST BETWEEN 60-80 MILES PER HOUR. I BALANCED, ALIGNED, ROTATED AND AS AN ULTIMATE RESOURCE I CHANGED THE SET OF TIRES AND MOPAR NOR AUTONATION TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR HELP SOLVE MY ISSUE THAT STILL CONTINUES SAYING THE VIBRATION IS THERE BUT THEY DONT KNOW THE REASON, AND IS GETTING WORST EVERY DAY, IT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS.

HAVE HAD TWO ISSUES AND DEALERS CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A FEW MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SHOP , TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG (NO CODES), NOW FREQUENTLY IT LOOSES POWER LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. AGAIN TAKEN TO SHOP TO BE TOLD THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO CODES). THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME BECAUSE OF RECENT EVENTS ITS BAD GAS. I HAVE A STICK SHIFT, SO YOU CAN FEEL THE POWER LOSS IN FIRST AND SWITCHING TO SECOND. SINCE I DONT WANT TO KEEP GOING, I PULL OVER AS SOON AS I CAN AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER A SECOND, I RESTART AND EVERYTHING RUNS FINE. AGAIN, BECAUSE ITS NOT THROWING ANY CODES, THE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS FULL TANK OF GAS OR ALMOST EMPTY. NOTE: IF IT STALLS AS IM DRIVING THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT BUYING A NEW CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES.
