2018 Jeep Compass

HAND BRAKE, PART # 6MF41LXH-AA, SWITCH BR 08058060, DUE TO VEHICLE DESIGN AND BEING ACCEPTABLE TO UNDERNEATH RAIN WATER, PUDDLES, SLUSSHES, BUT NO HIGH WATERS OR FLOODS, WHEN ENGAGED IN PARK WILL NOT DISENGAGE,AND NOT MOVABLE, AND MUST BE TRANSPORTED TO BE FACTORY OR DEALER REPAIRED/ REPLACEED AT A HIGH OWNER EXPENSE PLUS THE INCONVIENCE OF NOT HAVING USE OF THE JEEP.

CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO FOR BURNING OIL. DURING THIS TIME I STALLED ON A BUSY ROAD AND SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME. LAST WEEK I WAS IN FLORIDA AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START, IT THEN STARTED SMOKING UNDERNEATH AND A SMALL FIRE WAS STARTED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND IS CURRENTLY STILL THERE WITH AN CHRYSLER ENGINEER COMING TO INSPECT WHAT HAPPENED. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE TEXT MESSAGE EXCHANGE WITH CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA TO DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. THE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OCCURRED ON 2/6/21. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER SOUTHWEST HYUNDAI ALBUQUERQUE (8800 LOMAS BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87112, (505) 404-0136) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION (MOSTLY ON INCLINES OR HIGHWAY TRAVEL), THE SHIFTING OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "SLAM" INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY CANNOT CHECK FOR ISSUES WITH THE DRIVETRAIN IF THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.

VEHICLE CONSUMES TOO MUCH OIL AND WILL FAIL TO HAVE ENOUGH OIL PRESSURE AND EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WILL ENGAGE RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND CAR WILL STOP. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WILL ENGAGE ALSO AND CAR CAN FAIL TO START. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE PCV VALVE SINCE I HAD SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MY 2015 CHRYSLER 200 AND THE PCV VALVE WAS CULPRIT. DEALERSHIP ADVISED TO RECONFIGURE PCM AND COME BACK FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER 1500 MILES. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AFTER THE 1500 MILES ON 2-2-21AND VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO BE LOW ON OIL. DEALERSHIP JUST TOPPED IT OFF AND SAID IT WAS "OKAY, NO FURTHER WORK NEEDED AT THIS TIME". THIS IS A DANGER AND THE CAR IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. THE PCV VALVE OR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

MULTIPLE TIMES I WOULD TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. AFTER JUMPING THE CAR OFF IT WOULD OPERATE WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT CHECKED BUT NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. ON 02/01/2021 THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START. I HAD A MECHANIC JUMP THE CAR OFF AND I LET IT IDLE TO BUILD UP THE BATTERY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THERE WAS A NOISE AND THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THEN FIRE!
