2018 Jeep Compass

BOUGHT BRAND NEW. WITH 4700 MILES PUT ON IT, IT HAD LOST OIL AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. COME TO FIND OUT, IT BURNS OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. MANY VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR, 2.4L MULTIAIR, ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ENGINES ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED, WHEN THEY ARE STILL NEW. WHEN RUNNING LOW ON OIL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING, LIGHTS, INDICATING ITS OUT OF OIL AND THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF ON A HIGHWAY OR WHEREVER THERE IS HEAVY TRAFFIC. DEFINITELY SEE A BAD ACCIDENT HAPPENING. A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.JEEP/FCA SEEM LIKE NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS. I CALLED JEEP RIGHT BEFORE WRITING THIS, AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP HASN'T HEARD ABOUT IT. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GOT IT HAS REPLACED 15 OF THESE MOTORS ALREADY. THANKYOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BARRY SANDERS SUPERCENTER (LOCATED AT 4120 W 6TH AVE, STILLWATER, OK 74074, (405) 571-0555) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,919.

ENGINE BURNING WAY MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD, THE VEHICLE THEN WILL SEIZE AND SHUT DOWN. THIS CAN BE AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING AND GIVES NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. JEEP WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY ABOUT THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE IN THEIR ENGINES YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK YOUR OIL ALL THE TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WILL HAVE YOU COME IN FOR A CONSUMPTION TEST AND EVEN PUTTING A CLAIM INTO JEEP CORPORATE, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HOW BAD OF A PROBLEM THAT IS. THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR FIX SOON OR THEIR WILL BE LAWSUITS UNFORTUNATELY WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS.

THE VEHICLE BURNS THROUGH OIL VERY FAST. THE DAY BEFORE MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AFTER A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING PULL OVER. I WAS ON A CURVE ON A DIRT ROAD GOING SLOW AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR AND ALL KIND OF ALERTS FLASH. FINALLY THE CAR STARTED, THE NEXT DAY THE OIL WAS CHANGED AT THE DEALER, THEY DON'T CHECK THE LEVEL BEFORE THEY CHANGE THE OIL THEY SAY. THEIR FIX, DIELECTRIC GREASE ON THE DOOR. NOW AT THE EXACT MILEAGE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE, WE OIL CHECKED BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER AND IT IS SO LOW IT BARELY SHOWED ON THE DIP STICK. A CAR WITH 22K MILES SHOULD NOT RUN OUT OF OIL.

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS CAR, IT HAS UNEXPECTEDLY COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. LAST YEAR, IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN THE SHEEPSHEAD BAY AREA OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN WHILE DRIVING IF THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL. IT WAS NOT AS ASCERTAINED BY THAT DEALERSHIP. THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" HAS PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN IMMINENT DANGER AS THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY AND BELT PARKWAY IN NEW YORK. ON SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2019, MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH 4 PEOPLE IN THIS CAR AND ONCE AGAIN IT SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING 55MPH. FORTUNATELY, HE WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY BEFORE HE WAS REAR ENDED AVOIDING TRAGEDY. HE PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE ON 168TH STREET IN MANHATTAN WHILE UTILIZING CITY STREETS. THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN 6 MORE TIMES BEFORE REACHING SAFETY. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP ON HYLAN BLVD. IN STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK. WE WERE INFORMED THAT IT WILL NOT EVEN BE EVALUATED FOR ANOTHER WEEK TO 10 DAYS. CHRYSLER DOES NOT PROVIDE RENTALS NOR DOES MY INSURANCE COMPANY ALLOW RENTALS UNLESS THE AUTO WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND ASKED A FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS HAPPENING TO HER, TOO. I AM APPALLED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUPPOSED LOW OIL IN THE ENGINE. MY SON HAD THE OIL CHANGED 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS LATEST INCIDENT. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT EVEN WHEN THIS CAR IS ALLEGEDLY REPAIRED ONCE AGAIN, THAT MY SON WILL BE DRIVING THIS CAR FROM STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK, TO THE CANARSIE SECTION OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN. I WOULD LIKE TO TERMINATE THE LEASE IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE.

DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED. ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL AS THIS VEHICLE USES OIL. VEHICLE HAS 5612 MILES ON IT. OIL WAS ADDED AND THEN ADVISED I NEEDED TO BRING IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ONLY THING I WAS ADVISED WAS THAT MUST BRING IN VEHICLE FOR NEXT 2000 MILES THEN AGAIN 2000 MILES MORE. SO AT THIS TIME, I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT STALLS AND NOT GIVEN A REASON AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF, AND ANY ONE ELSE THAT IS ON THE ROAD WITH ME WHEN VEHICLE JUST DECIDES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING.

THE JEEP STALLS, SHUTS OFF AND TURNS ON ITS OWN E BRAKE WHEN IT RUNS LOW ON OIL. BUT IT RUNS OUT OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES!!!!!!! IVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP AND THEY SAY, OH THATS NORMAL !?!?!?!?! IVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES GOING AROUND A ROUND A BOUT AND HAVING IT LOCK UP LIKE THAT BECAUSE ITS LOW ON OIL - AND IM GOING BROKE BUYING OIL CHANGES ALL THE TIME THIS CAR IS HORRIBLE, ALSO THE RADIO COMPLETELY AND RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, DISPLAY EVERYTHING - WHILE DRIVING!

THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT AN EXTREMELY FAST RATE. EVERY 3,000 MILES THERE IS NO OIL LEFT IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME. *DT CONSUMER STATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS DONE BUT DEALER TOLD CONSUMER IT WAS NORMAL TO STALL.*JB

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED FIVE TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED IT HAS BEEN HOT OUT. THE CAR STALLS AND SEVERAL ERROR LIGHTS FLASH; PARKING BREAK, HILL-STOP, OIL-CHANGE, ETC.. THE CAR THEN WON'T TURN OFF, BUT JUST STAYS IN ON MODE BUT WILL NOT MOVE. JEEP WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, THE CAR IS 'FINE'. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. THIS IS A KNOWN AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT IT.
