2018 Jeep Compass

I WAS DRIVING 44MPH HEADED TO A RED LIGHT WITH A 4 LANE HIGHWAY COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE JEEP SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 44MPH AND I HAD NO STEERING, NO BREAKS, NO POWER AT ALL. I KEPT HITTING RESTART AND FINALLY THE ENGINE KICKED BACK ON, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP D'AMBROSIO IN DOWNINGTOWN, PA. WHEN JEEP SHUT OFF WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SAYING "LOW OIL PRESSURE". NO LIGHTS APPEARED PRIOR TO JEEP SHUTTING OFF WHILE GOING 44MPH. I ALMOST DIED! WHILE AT DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PARTS GUY'S WIFE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER WHILE DRIVING HER JEEP JUST STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. EASTER SUNDAY MY BROTHER TOLD ME HIS FRIEND CALLED HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT HIS WIFE'S JEEP SHUT OFF WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME ON THIS 2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH ONLY 5000K MILES THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMES ENGINE OIL LEAVING IT VERY LOW WITH ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 2000K MILES. THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WAS ON THE FREEWAY HEADING HOME WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AS WELL, AS IF IT WERE STRUGGLING. THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES AS I DROVE ON THE STREET THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF A FEW TIMES. IT WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT IT STRUGGLED A LITTLE TO TURN ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT 2000K MILES THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOESNT LEAK ANY OIL. THEY ALSO DID A FEW UPDATES TO THE VEHICLE COMPUTER BECAUSE IF WAS IN NEED OF UPDATES. NOW VEHICLES IS AT 5OOOK MILES AND ONCE AGAIN VERY LOW OIL IN ENGINE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE DOESNT STALL OR HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN TO GET IT CHECKED ABOUT THE CONSUMPTION.

I WAS DRIVING 44 MPH HEADED TO A RED LIGHT INTERSECTION WITH 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN MY JEEP SHUT OFF I HAD NO STEERING, NO BREAKS AND NO ENGINE RUNNING. I WAS MOVING FORWARD AT 44MPH UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND KEPT HITTING THE START BUTTON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE CAR RESTARTED SAYING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AND GETTING KILED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP D'AMBROSIO AUTO GROUP. OIL WAS CHECKED AND I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE HAD 3,650 MILES ON IT AND IT'S BRAND NEW. MAINTENANCE SAYS OIL CHANGE AT 10K MILES. SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO THE PARTS MGR. SISTER. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY 1 OTHER PERSON THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME TO BRING VEHICLE BACK IN 2K MILES AND IF OIL IS LOW THEY WOULD REPLACE ENGINE AT NO CHARGE. *DT*JB

I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES WITHIN A 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER WHERE MY NEW JEEP COMPASS HAS BROKEN DOWN AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. BACK IN FEBRUARY, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS STRANGE. I CAME UP TO A STOP SIGN AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, AND I CRAWLED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER, RPMS SHOOTING THROUGH THE ROOF, AND MY WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE HARDER I PRESSED ON THE GAS, THE SLOWER IT WENT. THERE WAS ONCOING TRAFIC AT THIS TIME, SO IM GLAD NO ACCIDENT OCCURED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT I NEEDED TWO SOFTWARE UPDATES, FOR MY TRANSMISSION AND ONE OTHER ONE, AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD TO APRIL 27, 2019, IM DRIVING 50 MPH AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. I COME TO A STOP SIGN AGAIN, AND TRY TO ACCELERATE, ONLY FOR THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN AS LAST TIME. I MADE IT HOME AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THE SAID THAT THEY DID NOT SEE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THAT ONE HAD EVER BEEN ON WHEN THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS ALARMING BECAUSE IT WAS IN FACT ON, AND MY WHOLE VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY DISABLED AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THEY SAID SINCE THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE IT. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING MAJORLY WRONG WITH THIS CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM IF IT RANDOMLY DOES THIS WITH NO WARNING, AND IT IS DANGEROUS. IT DOESNT EVEN WORK ENOUGH TO LOG THE HISTORY OF ENGINE LIGHTS THAT ARE TRIGGERED. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. IT IS UNDER A YEAR OLD AND ONLY HAD 9500 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPEND THE FIRST TIME, NOW IT HAS 13000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL NEW. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WHEN THE SERVICE SHOP I BOUGHT IT FROM CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG.

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY PUT HAZARDS ON, TRIED TO PULL TO THE SIDE, STOPPED AND TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS IT TURNED BACK ON BUT I WAS SCARED THE ENTIRE HOUR LONG RIDE HOME SO DROVE IN THE SLOW LANE SO THAT I COULD PULL RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE HOOD LATCH SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT AND IT WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH OR SO THEN AGAIN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 40 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AGAIN ANOTHER SCARY EXPERIENCE. TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THE ACTUAL HOOD LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PULLED OUT OF SERVICE CENTER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN, PULLED BACK IN TO SERVICE CENTER AND A DAY LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID HOOD NEEDED REALIGNMENT. WORKED AGAIN FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN TODAY, AGAIN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING FLASHED ON MY DASH THEN WENT OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON THEN YET ANOTHER WARNING THAT READ SWITCH TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR. CAR THEN LOST ALMOST ALL POWER BUT LUCKILY HAD JUST ENOUGH POWER TO GET ME TO A SIDE ROAD WHERE I BARELY MADE IT ONTO THE ROAD BEFORE IT SHUT OFF. I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON AND AFTER 2 TRIES IT POWERED ON BUT WHEN I PUT INTO DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS LIKE IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOP WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING.
