2018 Jeep Compass

OIL BURNING UP WAY BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE. CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE MONTH OLD INFANT IN THE BACK SEAT.*DT THE STALL OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH. MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 12925. WHILE MAKING THE TURN A QUICK CHIME AND OIL PRESSURE LOW CAME ON AND DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED. COME TO FIND OUT THE OIL ON DIPSTICK WAS 1MM. NO WARNINGS ABOUT IT. NOT DUE FOR OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 1600 MILES. *JB

CONSUMER STATED IT WAS AROUND 8,000 MILES, IT STALLED DRIVING ON A THRUWAY IN NEW YORK TRAFFIC, PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AND IT CAME TO FULL STOP, HAD TO DEPRESS BRAKE AND RESTART CAR. MY JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THE OIL IS NOT PUMPING OUT. AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE THEY SAID THE JEEP IS BURNING OIL LIKE CRAZY WITH NO WARNING ABOUT LOW OIL. IT HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT AND ALSO INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING,I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGES. THEN RESTART IT, IT ALSO INTERMITTENTLY WON'T START AT ALL. THEN AFTER A FEW HOURS IT WILL START BUT RUNS REALLY ROUGH. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WITH WHAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SUSPENSION IN THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST FEW MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. HONESTLY I AGREE THAT THIS CAR IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A DEATH TRAP YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS WHEN I ENTER MY VIN. *DT*JB

AUTO START/STOP DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY 100% OF THE TIME. PULLING UP TO A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE STOPS AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. CAN BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THERE IS A VEHICLE RUNNING UP BEHIND YOU AND YOUR VEHICLE REFUSES TO START BACK UP.

JEEP COMPASS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DEATH TRAP; I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT! IT LITERALLY BURNS OIL DOWN TO NOTHING & WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGES, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND IT JUST STOPS, WHILE DRIVING, ON THE ROAD, IN TRAFFIC! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE! I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL REGULARLY (ACTUALLY EARLY) AND AFTER 3,000 MILES IT IS EMPTY?? ARE YOU SERIOUS? FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE DEALER CONDUCTED AN "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST, WHAT A JOKE. OBVIOUSLY IT IS OVER-CONSUMING OIL BECAUSE IT JUST SEIZED UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING & MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF OTHER CARS AND THE DIPSTICK WAS CLEAR, NOT ONE DROP OF OIL LEFT! MADE SPECIAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER SO THEY COULD TOP OFF THE OIL AFTER 1,500 MILES (THEIR SOLUTION TO THIS KNOWN PROBLEM) AND IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AFTER LESS THAN 3,000 MILES, AND ONCE AGAIN WHILE MAKING A TURN I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE JEEP STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!! THE JEEP IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WHILE THEY "FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG" AND HOW TO HANDLE IT. I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO HANDLE IT, RECALL THEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!! IF I COULD DITCH JEEP/CHRYSLER RIGHT NOW I WOULD, AND AS SOON AS MY LEASE IS UP, I WILL BE GOING BACK TO GM CARS!

FIRST OFF. I HAVE A 2018 JEEP COMPASS THAT'S I GOT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I'M NOTICING NOW THAT MY BRAKES ARE ALREADY TERRIBLY GRINDING, THE ENGINE GETS WAY TOO HOT EVEN THOUGH THE INDICATOR IS ALWAYS NEUTRAL AND NEVER MOVES EVER. ALSO THE MPG IS ABSOLUTE CRAP AND I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE SYSTEM ITSELF CAUSING PROBLEMS. I LOST 45 MILES ACCORDING TO THE INDICATOR AND REALLY ONLY WENT 12 MILES BACK FROM WORK. THAT SHOULDN'T BE RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED INSTRUCTING THE DRIVER TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHIFT GEARS, ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. THE DRIVER WAS NOT ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT WAITED TEN MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERRICK DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP OF WANTAGH (3614 SUNRISE HWY, SUITE A, WANTAGH, NY 11793, (516) 868-4400) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR, WITHOUT WARNING THIS JEEP STALLS, PUTTING MY WIFE IN A POTENTIALLY FATAL OR INJURIOUS ACCIDENT SITUATION. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY KNOW AND ACCEPT AS NORMAL THIS BRAND NEW CAR BURNING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES AND THAT IF THE CAR GETS LOW ON OIL IT WILL QUIT RUNNING, BUT THEY NEVER TELL THE OWNER OF THE CAR, THEY ONLY SAY COME BACK IN 5000 MILES FOR NEXT OIL CHANGE, MEANWHILE THE CAR STARTS STALLING AT 3-4000 MILES

MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION, BEGINNING AT 30,000 MILES, STARTED TO LOCK UP. THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS BOTH ACTIVATED. THIS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND IDLED. I HAD TO PRESS GAS TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART TO RESET THE TRANSMISSION ICON. THE SAME LOCK UP STARTED TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AFTER I PASSED THE 36,000 MILES MARK. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN NOW. AUTOZONE STATES THE CODE POPS UP WITH U1428. I THEN START TO HAVE START UP ISSUES AT 50,000 MILES. THE START/STOP SYSTEM IS UNAVAILABLE AND THE LIGHT REFLECT 'A!' HAS BEEN ACTIVARE SINCE. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO GET REALLY HOT. CONSTANT OIL BURNING. AND GAS BURNING. WHEN AUTOZONE CHECK CODE IT POPPED UP P1DD2 (WITH NO DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE CODE WAS CAUSED BY). THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL IS NOT STABLE. IN MULTIPLE INSTANCES MY VEHICLE LIGHTS AND POWER HAVE GONE IN AND OUT WHILE IDLE AND DRIVING. IT SLOWS DOWN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY. I HAVE HEARD A LOT ABOUT TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ISSUES WITH THE NEWER JEEPS BUT I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO ME. I DON'T THINK MY VEHICLE IS SAFE AND WOULD LIKE A MORE PROFESSIONAL INPUT SINCE THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM IS NEVER AVAILABLE TO ASSIST.
