2018 Jeep Compass

EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING MY CAR MY CAR WILL DO WHAT I CALL A "SPAZ OUT" MOMENT. THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS ALL COME ON AND A LOUD DING BEGINS. MY CAR DASH LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND EACH NOTICE POPS UP: TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICE, 4 WHEEL DRIVE NEEDS SERVICED. TRACTION SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICE, EMERGENCY BREAK NEEDS SERVICE. THEN THEY ALL GO OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I AM VERY WORRY FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHER IF THIS VEHICLE LOCKS THE WHEELS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY. MOST MY DRIVING IS ON THE HIGH WAY AT THE SPEED OF 70MPHS.

I STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH THE NORMAL FUNCTION OF AUTO START/STOP BUT WHEN I TOOK FOOT OF THE BRAKE THE CAR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WHICH THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD STAY ENGAGED. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING MADE IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AT 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND COASTED THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AT 15 MILES AN HOUR FORCING ME TO HARD BREAK AND ALMOST GET REAR ENDED WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE FOR THE JEEP FOR THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. THE DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING THAT IT'S WITH IN CHRYSLER'S SPECS THAT THIS ENGINE (2.4 MULTI-AIR 9 SPEED) CAN BURN 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES. THIS JEEP ONLY HAS 3,043 MILE ON IT. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ENGINES TO SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HARM AND POSSIBLE DEATH IN A COLLISION. BOTH OF THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. THEY ARE FORCING ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REGARDLESS OF THE SAFETY ISSUES. *DT CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS AND NO CHIME BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING. THERE WAS NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT HAD AN OIL CHANGE PRIOR TO THIS SITUATION DUE TO THE MILAGE. THE DEALERSHIP STARTED AT OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH REQUIRED THEM TO CHANGE THE OIL. DEALERSHIP IS ASKING CONSUMER TO BRING VEHICLE IN EVERY 500 FOUR TIMES BEFORE DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OIL THAT THE VEHICLE IS BURNING.*JB

WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION ENGINE WILL STALL AT RED LIGHTS / INTERSECTIONS, CAR WILL STATE:PUT CAR IN DRIVE BUT CAR IS IN DRIVE, LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN TURNING RIGHT THEN DISAPPEAR, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH THEN TURN OFF. CAR MAY STALL, LOSE POWER, EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING, NO GAS PEDAL RESPONSE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR COULD BE FAULTY...CAR IS 2018 WITH 21,000 MILES...CPS SHOULD NOT BE FAULTY AT THIS LOW MILEAGE/AGE OF VEHICLE...SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ACROSS JEEP COMPASS VEHICLES OF MULTIPLE YEARS.....RECALL JEEP VEHICLES FOR FAULTY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR....HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL, CAR LOSES POWER AND STEERING ABILITY.....DANGEROUS

THE AUTO START STOP FEATURE HAS FUNCTIONED IMPROPERLY AND AFTER TAPPING MY BRAKES AT A STOPLIGHT AND TURNING ONTO A RAMP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I WENT TO TAKE OFF AND THE CAR DIED. THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAVE NEVER USED IT. I RESTARTED MY CAR ONLY FOR IT TO STALL OUT AND DIE10 MINS LATER ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STEER. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RE-START THE CAR AGAIN. I HATE THIS START STOP FUNCTION. IT DOESNT ALWAYS START BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER LETTING OFF THE BRAKES. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK

PISTON EXPLODED OUT OF MOTOR WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. VEHICLE HAS 7,769 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NO DUMMY LIGHTS APPEARED PRIOR, VEHICLE WAS IN 'NEUTRAL' TEMP RANGE, HAD AN OIL CHANGE JUST AT 5500 MILES AND SYNTHETIC OIL WAS PUT IN AS DEALER RECOMMENDED. I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT CHRYSLER WARRANTY HAS HUNG UP AND DENIED ANY OTHER ISSUES. I'M GLAD TO SEE OTHER HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND I AM SEEKING LAWSUITS. ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE RELATED TO KNOWN OIL ISSUES OR BLOWN MOTORS! THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY RISK I AM GLAD THAT MY FAMILY WAS NOT WITH ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS THAT NO ONE YOU CALL FOR YOUR FACTORY WARRANTY AND GET THEIR THIRD PARTY CALL CENTERS THAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU ALL PROPER INFORMATION, NOR ARE THEY NOTING ACCOUNTS PROPERLY.

JEEP COMPASS 2018 MILEAGE 5188 - ON FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2019 I WAS JUST LEAVING MY HOME TO GO TO WORK AT 7:45 AM AND I WAS ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOME WHEN MY CAR JUST CEASED ON A MAJOR ROADWAY AND THE DASHBOARD SAID OIL PRESSURE LOW. I HAD OTHER CARS BEHIND ME AND WAS VERY LUCKY NO ONE HAD HIT ME FROM BEHIND AND I DID NOT GET SERIOUSLY HURT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALER HEALY CHRYSLER JEEP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR AND SPOKE TO A SERVICE MANAGER NAMED JEFF ROSCINO AND HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO ME AND HAVE MY OIL CHANGED. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR'S MOTOR WAS INTRINSICALLY DESIGNED TO BURN THIS AMOUNT OF OIL. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR TO YONKERS CHRYSLER JEEP WHICH WAS NEAREST DEALER TO ME AND THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE - SYNTHETIC OIL PUT 6 QUARTS OF OIL IN CAR - THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THERE WAS A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF OIL IN CAR. THIS CAR IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL IT HAS 5,188 MILES ON IT - THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN ENGINE AND ALSO A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT. SELLING A CAR TO PEOPLE WITH A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE ENGINE IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD HAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE AND CAR CEASES AND DASHBOARD SAYS LOW OIL PRESSURE. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL IN THERE CAR AS WELL. I CALLED JEEP HEADQUARTER ON SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 2019 AND SPOKE TO REPRESENTATIVE AND SHE GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME SOMEONE WOULD BE CALLING ME BACK ON MONDAY, JUNE 24,2019. IT CAN
