2018 Jeep Compass

I EXITED THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR MORNING TRAFFIC. MY JEEP STOPPED ALL THE SUDDEN. THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT DIDN'T KEEP ROLLING OR LET ME GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. I SAT THERE FOR TEN MINUTES WITH CAR HONKING AND SWERVING AROUND ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THESE CARS (JEEP COMPASS) ARE NOTORIOUSLY BAD ABOUT STALLING OUT BECAUSE THEY BURN OIL QUICKLY AND THE OIL LIGHT WON'T COME ON. THEY TOLD ME TO CONSTANTLY CHECK MY OIL. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD IT ABOUT A YEAR A HALF. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME 'YES. THESE 2.4 LITER ENGINES BURN OIL TOO QUICKLY. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE JEEP WILL CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WITH THESE JEEPS. YOU CANNOT MOVE THE CAR ONCE IT DOES THIS.

MY CAR'S LIGHT TO HAVE IT'S OIL CHANGED TURNED ON, THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN. HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE SHOP. WAS TOLD I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL SO THEY REFILLED THE TANK AND TOLD ME THIS WAS MY FAULT- WITHIN 1000 MILES MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT QUICKLY TURNED ON AND OFF AND MY ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN WHILE I WAS TURNING. TOOK CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SAID I WAS AGAIN OUT OF OIL - I INSISTED THEY LOOK DEEPER SINCE I FOUND NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED MY ENGINE WAS OVERLY CONSUMING THE OIL AND AN ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY.*DT*JB

JUST STARTED VEHICLE AND PLACED INTO DRIVE. VEHICLE MOVED 5 FEET IN PARKING LOT AND STALLED. FAN AND ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS CONTINUED RUNNING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT ON CONTROL PANEL. I PRESSED AND DEPRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. THE NOTHING HAPPENED. NO STARTING AT ALL. LEFT THE VEHICLE. PARKING LIGHTS AND ALL ELECTRONICS CONTINUED ON. I COULD NOT SHUT OFF. AFTER 10 MINUTES I WENT BACK TO VEHICLE AND PRESSED THE INGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED.

ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH COUNTY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (455 AUTOMALL DR, GILROY, CA 95020, 408-842-8244) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL FREQUENTLY. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE SAME DEALER PROVIDED THE CONTACT'S WIFE THE SAME INFORMATION AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,708.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT JUST STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE MY 16 YO WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL US. WE DRIVE 40 MIN TO WHERE SHE WAS AND THE CAR STARTED UP. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT UPDATED A FEW COMPUTER THINGS. WITHIN A FEW DAYS IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO MY DAUGHTER AS THIS IS HER CAR. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE CAR IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING EVERY 1,000 MILES AND I KNOW THAT BETWEEN THE 2,000-3,000 MILE POINT THE OIL IS BELOW THE 'SAFE ZONE'. IN ONE YEAR WITH 10,000 MILES IN THIS CAR, I HAVE MADE 6 TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE HAD TO PUT NUMEROUS QUARTS OF OIL IN THIS CAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS A VERY CONCERNING ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES AND MAKES ME NERVOUS EVERY TIME MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THIS 'NEW' CAR. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THESE CARS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED. THERE IS NO LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT. THIS CAR JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END AND FRONT END COLLISION, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME REAR-ENDED THE JEEP COMPASS AT APPROX 50 MPH PUSHING ME INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE JEEP COMPASS. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE VEHICLE'S SEAT BELTS FAILED TO LOCK CAUSING MYSELF TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL.
