ON 2/28/19 I LEASED A 2019 JEEP COMPASS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING MINOR ISSUES WITH IT WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESNT START. AS I WRITE THIS ON 9/3/19 I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEASE I HAVE AND THEREFORE WHY I AM DOCUMENTING MY EXPERIENCE. LAST WEEK, TUESDAY, 8/27/19 WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION, MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I REACHED OUT TO MIAMI LAKES AUTO MALL ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THIS WAS A TOTAL DISASTER, I KEPT BEING TRANSFERRED TO VOICEMAILS AND COULD NOT GET ANYONE ON THE PHONE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS INTERSECTION. I CALLED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE (ANOTHER MESS) AND ENDED UP HAVING TO WAIT 4 HOURS UNTIL A TOW TRUCK COULD COME AND GET MY CAR, STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, HAD TO CALL 911 SO A POLICE CAR COULD PARK BEHIND ME AS OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE CAR TOWED, POLICE, RAIN AND BEING STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION AND ALL, FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE EXCEPT FOR A SERVICE MANAGER CALLED JONATHAN, HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT SPOKE WITH ME DURING THIS TIME, OF COURSE AFTER I ARRIVED TO THE DEALERSHIP, ENTERPRISE WAS CLOSED SO I HAD TO TAKE AN UBER HOME. I HAD TO LEAVE TO TAMPA FOR WORK SO I HAD TO GO GET A RENTAL AT NATIONAL THAT MORNING AND HEAD OUT, ON THURSDAY THE 29TH I SPOKE WITH JONATHAN AND HE TOLD ME THE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE WAS A SOFTWARE FAILURE AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS WORKING PROPERLY NOW. WITH HURRICANE DORIAN COMING AND IF I HAD TO EVACUATE, OF COURSE, I WAS NOT FEELING CONFIDENT THAT I WASN'T GOING TO GET STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY WITH A FAULTY VEHICLE SO I HAD TO KEEP THE RENTAL FOR A FEW MORE DAYS. I AM VERY NERVOUS OF TAKING THIS VEHICLE HOME AS NOW I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL LEAVE ME STALLED, I HAVE READ THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPASS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP AS WELL.

I WILL BE DRIVING AND WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL COME ON WITHOUT ME REALIZING IT.THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING AT THIS TIME AND WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THE CAR WILL JUST ROLL INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND STOP. I HAVE TRIED JUST CLICKING IT OFF, BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT COME OFF UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THIS IS MY SECOND 2019 JEEP COMPASS. THE FIRST ONE I HAD ONLY 4 DAYS BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS COMING ON AT ALMOST EVERY STOP I MADE. THE 2019 JEEP COMPASS THAT I HAVE NOW HAS DONE IT A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP 3 TIMES, BUT THERE ARE NO CODES THAT POP UP AND OF COURSE THE PROBLEM DOESN'T OCCUR DURING THE SHORT TIME THAT THEY HAVE THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHETHER I AM STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT.

1PE22013 · False Overheat Leading To Loss Of Motive Power
Opened Dec 2, 2022 · Closed Dec 10, 2023
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling
On December 2, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE22-013 to investigate allegations of loss of motive power accompanied by high coolant temperature messages on the dashboard of Model Year 2019-2020 Jeep Compass vehicles. At the time this investigation was opened, ODI was aware of fifteen Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) for Model Year (MY) 2019-2020 Jeep Compass vehicles alleging a loss of motive power (LOMP) while driving. The LOMP events were often accompanied by a high coolant temperature or coolant temperature too high message appearing on the dashboard of the vehicle. In most incidents, the high coolant temperature or coolant temperature too high dashboard messages spontaneously self-corrected or were corrected after the vehicle was stopped and restarted. One complainant alleged no immediate restart, and the vehicle was towed. A Preliminary Evaluation (PE) was opened to assess the frequency and potential safety consequences of these engine shut down events. On January 19th, 2023, ODI sent an information request letter to Fiat Chrysler US LLC (FCA) requesting pertinent information on the subject 2019-2020 Jeep Compass vehicles. FCA provided its full response on March 2nd, 2023. ODI has reviewed the information FCA provided as well as new reports submitted to NHTSA’s Vehicle Owner Questionnaire database. Based on a review of available information, ODI has identified 173 subject vehicles that likely experienced a shutdown event associated with the high coolant temperature or coolant temperature too high dashboard messages. ODI found the 2019 Model Year (MY) Jeep Compass as having the highest failure rate while also being the oldest group of vehicles in this investigation. The 2019 Jeep Compass vehicles that experienced a failure represent an incident rate of about 0.09%. The 2020 Jeep compass vehicles that experienced a failure represent an incident rate of about 0.04%. After reviewing the information available at this time, ODI identified one allegation of a crash and no allegations of injury, fire, or fatality. The alleged crash occurred at a stop light and was able to be restarted immediately. In its response to ODI, FCA provided its assessment of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles. FCA believes the alleged defect does not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. FCA stated that allegations related to this investigation involve the vehicle notifying the driver of an overheat condition, via a message and telltale lights, followed by an engine shutdown. FCA goes on to say that once the engine shuts down, the driver is instructed via an instrument cluster message to place the vehicle in park. After the vehicle is placed in park, it can then be restarted and immediately driven with no issues. This is consistent with ODI’s observations. Based on the analysis conducted by ODI indicating a low failure rate and given that the vehicles normally can be re-started immediately after the shutdown event, this investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. NHTSA reserves the right take additional actions if warranted by future circumstances.
