2018 Jeep Compass complaints

TWO DAYS BACK, THE JEEP WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY THE ENGINE WENT SILENT, ACCELERATOR DID NOT WORK, THE "D" SIGN IN THE GEAR WAS FLASHING. I NEED TO TAKE THE GEAR TO PARKING, STOP THE ENGINE AND RESTART. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND OR ATLEAST THE ONE THAT WAS STOPPED AT A DISTANCE AS MY CAR DID NOT MOVE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN NEXT DAY TWICE. THIS PROBLEM IS SCARY.

MY JEEP COMPASS TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE PARKING BREAK TURNS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, MORE THAN 4 TIMES. TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID DON'T WORRY YOU JUST NEED AN OIL CHANGE. I STATED THAT MY CHECK OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, AND THE CHANGE YOUR OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW? THE LIGHT ONLY FLASHES FOR A SECOND, UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES, I WAS UNAWARE THE LIGHT FLASHED. I WAS TO BUSY TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAD TO TURN ON HAZARDS, FIGURE OUT THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AND PANIC. THAT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I INQUIRED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THE ISSUE. THE ANSWER WAS NOT YET. THE 2.4 BURNS OIL, EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FIND ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT LEAST 6 MORE YEARS. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. THE JEEP HAS DIED BACKING UP IN PARKING LOT. THE JEEP DIES DURING TURNING BOTH RIGHT AND LIGHT ON BUSY STREETS. AND ONCE, I TURNED LEFT DROVE 4 CARS LENGTH AND STOPPED DEAD IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN LESS THEN ONE MILE INTO MY MORNING COMMUTE AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD OUT OF MY DEVELOPMENT. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND NOTHING INDICATED WHY THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. WHEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT IN AS MANY DAYS, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS LOW OR OUT OF OIL AND SHUTTING DOWN IS A SAFETY FEATURE AS IS ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN TRAFFIC. I WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER MONTH BASED ON JEEP'S RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE, BUT I WAS FORCED TO DO ONE SO THEY COULD VERIFY THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE COMPASS HAS A NEW HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENGINE AND THESE NEW ENGINES ARE SO EFFICIENT THEY BURN/LEAK OIL, AND I AM TO CHECK MY OIL EVERY 500-1000 MILES AND ALWAYS HAVE A QUART IN THE CAR TO TOP IT OFF. WHEN I ASKED WHY THERE WASN'T A DASHBOARD INDICATOR THE OIL WAS LOW I WAS TOLD THE COMPASS DOES NOT HAVE SUCH AN INDICATOR. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, MY FAMILY'S, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AS I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AGAIN.

I HAVE MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS FOR LITERALLY 10 MONTHS NOW NOT EVEN A YEAR. BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2019 AND IT IS NOW JANUARY 2020. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 2 TIMES TO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. ANY TIME I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT JERKS AS IF SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE CAR IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE IT GOES INTO SOME SORT OF LIMP MODE WHERE IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 3 TIMES NOW. TWICE IN TRAFFIC! WHERE I'M STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WAVING FOR PEOPLE TO GO AROUND. AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. AS OF LAST NIGHT I WAS PARKED AT A GROCERY STORE ABOUT TO PULL OFF WHEN THE CAR JERKED AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE DASH LIGHT STARTED TO GO HAY WIRE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON WITH THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT DINGING RED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICING WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AGAIN IT WENT NO WHERE.THIS IS A HUGE BURDEN IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO GET MY CHILDREN AND I BACK AND FORTH FROM SCHOOL, WORK, CHURCH ETC. AND I CAN'T EVEN RELY ON IT THIS IS FRUSTRATING THIS CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. I'M LITERALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE ANYMORE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET IT'S SOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I LITERALLY LOOK UP EVERYDAY TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED OR IF I'VE RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND NOTHING! THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL AND SOMETHING NE

JEEP COMPASS PROBLEMS WITH STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING

5/2018, WE BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP COMPASS SPORT WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND GAP INSURANCE. WE WERE DILIGENT ON GETTING OIL CHANGED PER RECOMMENDATIONS. 8/2018, PULLING OUT IN INTERSECTION, VEHICLE DIED, SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS HAPPEND A FEW MORE TIMES WE TOOK IN FOR SERVICE. 11/2018, (WELL WITHIN THE LEMON LAW GUIDELINES)WE TOOK TO THE WAXAHACHIE. THEY INSPECTED IT/CHANGED OIL, THEY TOLD US IT WAS LOW ON OIL, THAT THE DYING OF THE CAR WAS A SAFETY MECHANISM AND WE JUST NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL MORE OFTEN. KEEP IN MIND, THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED PER VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS. WE BEGAN CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. THE VEHICLE STILL DIED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, GOING DOWN THE TOLLWAY, PULLING OUT ON THE SERVICE ROAD TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS WITH CHILDREN IN VEHICLE. 10/1/2019, FRUSTRATED/CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR SERVICE. AT THIS TIME IT HAD ONLY BEEN 2000 MILES SINCE THE WAS OIL CHANGED, WAS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND WE NEVER GOT A RECALL. HAD US BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN EVERY 1000 MILES FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. 10/15/2019, 2 QTS LOW AFTER 1000 MILES. THEY ORDERED NEW ENGINE. THEY WERE BACKED UP SO ON11/12/19 THEY CALLED TO BRING CAR IN FOR NEW ENGINE 11/22, WE PICKED UP CAR, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES, OVERHEATED. WE RETURNED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY KEPT IT/WE PICKED UP 11/26, DROVE TWO MILES/DIED GOING DOWN SERVICE ROAD. WE

THE JEEP COMPASS 2018 CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THERE IS NO OIL LIGHT TO INDICATE IT IS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD . THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE CAR EATS OIL. DEALER SAID TO DRIVE FOR 2000 MILES AND BRING IT IN . I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IT. IT NEEDS A NEW ENGLINE

OIL BURNING UP WAY BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE. CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE STALL OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH. MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 39000 WHILE MAKING THE TURN A QUICK CHIME AND OIL PRESSURE LOW CAME ON AND DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED. COME TO FIND OUT THAT WAS WAS OIL ON DIPSTICK. NO WARNINGS

2.4L MULTIAIR MOTOR BURNS OIL AT EXCESSIVE RATE. NEW CAR BURNS 1QT OF OIL PER 850 MILES. NO "LOW OIL" INDICATOR LIGHT. WHEN LOW ON OIL, CAR STALLS, JOLTS, OR SHUTS OFF. STALL GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 30 MPH). SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD IF TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR WILL STALL IF DOWN 2 QUARTS. THEREFORE, IF YOU DO NOT REFILL OIL EVERY 1500 MILES, YOU RISK STALLING ON ROADWAYS. CURRENT VEHICLE HAS 26,000 MILES. NORMALLY ADD 5 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. STALLING HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. TWO TIMES STALL OCCURRED IN INTERSECTION, ALMOST RESULTING IN HIGH SPEED COLLISION FROM OPPOSING TRAFFIC.

MY CAR IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TWICE WHILE DRIVING. VERY QUICKLY A 'LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING' SIGN WILL FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD, AND SOON AFTER THE CAR BECOMES LIMP AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. IT WILL NOT MOVE AND DOESN'T ALLOW FURTHER DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND MY OIL IS LOW, EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 2500 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THEY ARE HAVING ME COME BACK AFTER 500 MILES TO MONITOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS, AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHEN I'M ON MAIN ROADS WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH PREVIOUS JEEPS I'VE OWNED.

SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES COMES ON RANDOMLY. I CAN LITERALLY BE DRIVING AND COME TO A STOP SIGN AND IT COMES ON. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE OTHERS TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. MY CAR HAS ALSO FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR HAD CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE WITH A BRAND NEW CAR.

MY VEHICLE START/STOP CAUSED ME TO STALL OUT FOR 20MIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, I WAS NOT HIT, AND I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND WAVED PEOPLE BY, I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF, AND THEN PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON, THEN DISENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK, RESTART MY VEHICLE, AND PRESS THE STAR/STOP BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, AND SINCE THIS INCIDENT, MY START STOP SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED BUT I CONSTANTLY HAVE AN UMBRELLA CON ON MY CONSOLE THAT IS A CIRCLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK. I THEN WENT TO ORIELLY AUTO PARTS NEAR MY HOME FOR A DIAGNOSIS, AND IT WAS A MANUFACTURE CODE THAT THEY HAD NO CLUE WAS ABOUT. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A PUBLIC CITY STREET WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AND STALLED OUT, I OBSTRUCTED TRAFFIC FOR TEN MINS UNTIL I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET MY CAR TO TURN BACK ON.

1) THE JEEP COMPASS WAS TRAVELING IN MOTION ON A FARM TO MARKET ROAD AND STALLED. IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. NO STEERING, NO BRAKING. COMPLETE FAILURE. NO WAY TO SIGNAL OR LET OTHERS TRAVELING DOWN THE SAME HIGHWAY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED. 2) THE HOOD HAS POPPED OPEN WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY. 3) ALL THE ALARMS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE GONE OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. 4) THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND ALARM HAS GONE OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. 5) SETTINGS, SUCH AS PARK BRAKE AND RADIO, HAVE CHANGED INDISCRIMINATELY. **BY FAR, THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN IN MOTION. THEN, IT WAS HARD TO RESTART, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!**

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUT OFF ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND CHRYSLER (1239 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS VERY LOW. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF DUE TO VERY LOW OIL AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-71699220. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,200.

THE CAR STALLS OR DOES NOT START. WHEN WE HIT THE START BUTTON IT CLICKS AND THEN THE DISPLAY SAYS THE CAR IS RUNNING. BY NO MEANS IS THE CAR RUNNING. WE HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ANYTHING. NO GO. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TWO YEARS AGO. IT HAS NOW DECIDED IT WILL NOT START AT ALL.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUTTON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR JUST CRANKING THE VEHICLE. ALSO TONIGHT MY RADIO AND USB PORT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LIKE I HAD TURNED MY CAR OFF, WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH. THEN IT TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF LIKE I HAD JUST TURNED MY CAR ON, I WAS STILL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING THE TACHOMETER AND THE DIGITAL AND ANALOG SPEEDOMETERS WENT TO ZERO. AND THE D FOR DRIVE WAS FLASHING IN THE DASH AS WELL AS AT THE SHIFTER ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING ALSO.WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK IT SHUT ITSELF OFF AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THIS IS A FEW MONTHS AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER FOR THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING AND CODES FLASHING. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO TAKEN AT ABOUT 20 MPH OF THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETERS

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF AND GONE INTO A 'LIMP MODE' WHILE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHT ACTIVATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN MORE THAN ONE MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGES AND I AM UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THEREAFTER. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED ON BOTH OCCASIONS AND HAD NO IDES WHAT WAS WRONG. COME TO FIND OUT, THERE WAS MINIMAL OIL IN THE ENGINE DESPITE BEING DEALER MAINTAINED IN A TIMELY FASHION AND WELL BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS DUE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR SERVICING WHERE THEY EXPLAINED THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL WITH THE 2.4 LITER MULTI-AIR 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE PCV VALVE WAS REPLACED AND THEY STARTED TO MONITOR OIL USAGE VIA AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST EVERY 500 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE PCV VALVE REPLACEMENT DID NOT PROVE TO BE THE FIX AS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED ONCE AGAIN SOMETIME AROUND 2500 MILES INTO THE OIL CHANGE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND RELY ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET ME TO WORK AS I AM A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. I AM SHOCKED THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AFTER READING ONLINE JUST HOW MANY CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL ENGINE. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED AND IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS, IF ACTION IS NOT TAKEN. I WAS MERGING ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH NO SHOULDER THE FIRST TI

THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAY, I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME, SO FAR THREE TIMES IT HAPPENED. EVERY TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE WAY IT HAPPENS FIRST MY SPEED WILL REDUCED EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE GAS, AND SUDDENLY STOPS.

THIS JEEP CANNOT GO 3,000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. EVEN WHEN USING A FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL THAT HAS A LIFE SPAN OF 5,000 MILES, THE "LOW OIL PRESSURE" WARNING COMES ON. IF NOT SERVICED, THE VEHICLE STALLS (USUALLY WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION!). UPON TOWING IT TO A SERVICE STATION, THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT, ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT JUST NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. SO, INSTEAD OF USING THE "MILEAGE TO NEXT OIL CHANGE" STICKER, I HAVE TO HAVE THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED TO ESTIMATE WHEN IT WILL STALL AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

MY HILL BRAKE ACTIVATES WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC, MAKING U-TURNS, AND DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULDN'T RESOLVE IT. THEY HAD IT FROM JANUARY 25TH TO FEBRUARY 14TH. NOW MY CAR ISN'T STARTING AND THE HILL BRAKE IS ACTIVATING. I GOT A NEW BATTERY AND AN OIL CHANGE ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 23RD.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP COMPASS THAT I PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY. LATER ON IN OCTOBER I STARTED GETTING A LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL MORE SPECIFICALLY IT WOULD SIGNAL WHENEVER I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A JEEP TECHNICIAN TURNS OUT IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND NEEDED A WHOLE ENGINE REPLACED (KEEP IN MIND 2018 VEHICLE). FAST FORWARD TO NOW (ONLY TWO MONTHS LATER) MY CAR STARTED SHAKING THEN PROGRESSIVELY WENT TO NOT EVEN TURNING ON AT ALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROAD THE SERV 4WD LIGHT TURNED ON. NOW IT'S BACK AT THE SHOP

FRONT BALL JOINTS BECAME SEVERELY LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TIRE BECAME WOBBLY WHILE DRIVING

WHAT IT RAINS THE WATER COMES INTO MY TRUNK THROUGH THE REAR SEATBELTS.

ON 12/12/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND I-80 IN UTAH TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH. AT MILE MARKER 130 AT THE ENTRANCE TO PARLEYS CANYON AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE STALLED, LOOSING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BUT NEARLY REARENDED AND SEVERAL SEMI'S NEEDED TO DO QUICK MANUEVERS TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS AND IT WAS SUDDEN POWER LOSS NOT PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUY I EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR LACK OF POWER/ACCELERATION. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE TOWED IT TO A JEEP DEALER.

WHEN MY VEHICLE HITS 47 MPH IT STARTS MAKING A VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE NOISE CONTINUES TO BE PERSISTENT UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP BUT JEEP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY SAY THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE SINCE EARLY 2018. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S DAMAGING MY VEHICLE BUT IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD.

FOUR TIMES NOW AFTER THE STOP/START SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED WHILE AT A STOP AND I RELEASE THE BREAK TO START DRIVING, THE CAR EITHER FLASHES 4 WHEEL DRIVE UNAVAILABLE AND THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO DRIVE OVER 13MPH UNTIL THE CAR IS RESTARTED OR MOST RECENTLY STATES TRANSMISSION WARNING SERVICE ENGINE AND WON'T ALLOW THE CAR TO DRIVE AT ALL UNTIL I RESTART THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BOTH TIMES AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR HAS DRIVEN WITH NO ISSUES BUT MOST RECENTLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON. THESE ISSUES ONLY HAPPEN WITH THE STOP/START FUNCTION SO I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO TURN THIS FEATURE OFF EVERYTIME I START THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IN THE CITY LEAVING ME TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE AND WAIT FOR MY CAR TO SHUT OFF, TURN BACK ON, AND HOPEFULLY DRIVE AWAY WHILE HOPING NO CAR DRIVES RIGHT INTO ME WHILE TRYING TO DO THIS. VERY UNSAFE!

BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. HAD TO GET NEW MOTOR. SECOND MOTOR IS BURNING OIL. GOING THROUGH SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. 2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH 11,500 MILES. STILL UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE CAN STOP WITHOUT WARNING, ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME.

FIRST MY RADIO CUTS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. SECOND, I'VE BEEN NOTICING MY OIL LIGHT COMING ON MANY TIMES. I CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE I'M PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR. 3 RD, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STRIP MALL WHEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC YET. MANY TIMES WHEN I START MY CAR AND START MOVING MY CAR STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE. EVERY 600-1000 MILES I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL. IT IS ALWAYS LOW AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE STALL PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2018 BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TROUBLE EVER SINCE I HIT 3000 MILES. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN INDICATORS FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE TURN SIGNALS AND BLIND SPOT MONITOR FAILED TO WORK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS IN A CONSTANT LOOP OF TURNING ON AND OFF. TALLAHASSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (3987 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304) SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT FOR DECEMBER 9, 2019. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

DURING COLD WEATHER/ AND RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, ENGINE WILL CUTOUT AND NOT RESTART. ALSO WHEN PARKED ENGINE WILL CRANK, BUT NOT START. EVEN IF YOU REPLACE BATTERY- DOES NOTHING. THIS IS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS COULD CAUSE LOTS OF WRECKS.

WELL - THIS ALL STARTED BACK IN APRIL OF 2019 - WHEN I TOOK MY JEEP IN - IT WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN . AROUND 5000 MILES - NOW THIS IS A LEASE VEHICLE - SO I TOOK THE JEEP IN EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT RAY LAETHEM WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING AND HE CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE - SO WE STARTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST - NOTHING AFTER THAT WAS RECORDED CORRECTLY - EVERY TIME I TOOK THE JEEP BACK A THE 1000 MILES THE OIL WAS LOW AND THEY WOULD SAY COME BACK EVERY 500 MILES - TIL THE 3RD TIME I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO OIL USED - AND IT WAS A QUART LOW - I DID CHECK IT BEFORE I TOOK IT IN - IT WAS LOW A QUART LOW -ALSO TOOK TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP NORTHLAND JEEP , CHRYSLER . THEY ALSO STATED THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE ENGINE THAT IS IN MY JEEP. SO I TOOK THE JEEP BACK AGAIN TO NORTHLAND - REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER - WAS TOLD HE IS NOT IN - SO THAT THEY COULD CHECK THE OIL FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE SERVICE GUY STATED WE DON'T DO THAT . WE PUT THAT YOU REQUEST AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THEY DID THE OIL CHANGE - SO AGAIN NOTHING RECORDED CORRECTLY - MY JEEP USES OIL ( "ITS NORMAL) , IT USES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES .THE CASE IS CLOSED - PROBLEM NOT FIXED

THE CAR WONT START. WHEN PRESING THE PUSHSTART BUTTON IT WONT WORK. MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYS CAR NOT IN PARK AND WONT START NOR SHUT DOWN. NO WAY TO MOVE IT OR SHUTTING IT DOWN.

THE VEHICLE AT ANY KNOWN TIME GOES INTO THE PARKING BRAKE MODE AND STALLS! THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TWICE WE WERE ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL? THE OIL CHANGES WHICH SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ENTERTAINED HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. MY QUESTION SHOULD WE CHANGE THE OIL BEFORE OR AFTER THE SEVERITY OF THE ACCIDENT THAT CAN OCCUR DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. AND WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM.ARE YOU WAITING TILL SOMEONE DIES BEFORE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT? THAT WOULD SURELY SORE SALES? NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS IS GOING ON SO LONG.IT HAS OCCURRED ON THREE INCIDENTS NOW HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREET , IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

PURCHASED NEW COMPASS FROM BEST JEEP IN PLYMOUTH MA. AFTER FIRST OIL CHANGE, JUST BEFORE SECOND 13,000 MILES (STICKER SAYS TO GO EVERY 7,000 MILES) LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD. TOOK 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO SAFE ZONE, OIL DRIPPING WAS NOTICEABLE UNDER CAR AND I BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. GOT CAR BACK AND THEY NOTED NO OIL LEAK FOUND AND SAW SPILLED OIL AT FILLER SPOT. I PUT OIL IN THE CAR, THERE WAS NO OIL SPILLED AROUND THE FILLER. WHEN I LOOKED, DEALERSHIP HAD TAKEN, WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN OILY RAG, AND WIPED ALL AROUND THAT AREA. THEN TRIED TO BLAME ME. GOT CAR HOME, OIL WAS STILL DRIPPING. CALLED, MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. THEY THEN WROTE ON THE WORK ORDER "VERIFIED, SERVICE MANAGER DOCUMENTED OIL UNDER VEHICLE. THEY PUT DIE IN OIL, CLEANED UP PRESENT OIL ON OUTSIDE OF ENGINE. WENT BACK TO DEALER AFTER 300 MILES, OIL WAS DOWN HALF A QUART, BUT DEALER SAID NO LEAKS FOUND. WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE FOR A NEW ENGINE TO BURN UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES. THIS MEANS THE ENGINE IS ALREADY SHOWING 1 QUART OF OIL APROX EVERY 600 MILES. NOW I HAVE TO DO AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" EVERY 1000 MILES. AFTER READING WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN LOW OIL PRESSURE HAPPENS, CAR SHUTTING DOWN AND LOCKING UP SO CANT BE DRIVEN, HAS HAPPENED. ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, THEN TRYING TO LEAVE A PARKING SPOT. I THOUGHT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR AND I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE. MY

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CARE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WHEN TAKING A TURN, BUT MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SERVICE AUTO START STOP WILL COME ON AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE IN THE ROAD. WHEN WE TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE BOTH BATTERIES. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND ONE BATTERY, BUT WHY WOULD BOTH GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. IN RESEARCHING I SAW THAT THERE WAS VOLTAGE REGULATOR RECALL; HOWEVER, WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THIS DOES NOT INVOLVE OUR VIN. THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AROUND TOWN.

2018 JEEP COMPASS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE PURCHASE NINE MONTHS AGO. I WAS ON A CITY STREET BOTH TIMES AND IN MOTION.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE MADE A ROARING SOUND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN SIX MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DIFFERENT DEALERS EIGHT TIMES AND FOUR NEW DIFFERENTIALS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FIAT (2020 NIAGARA FALLS BLVD, TONAWANDA, NY 14150, (716) 616-3299) WHERE THE PTU AND ANOTHER UNKNOWN UPDATE WERE COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,425.

ENGINE OIL CHECKED LOW 3,000 MILES AFTER LAST OIL CHANGE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH MULTIPLE ONLINE REPORTS OF THESE VEHICLES BURNING OIL RAPIDLY. OTHER REPORTS STATE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE TRAVELING WITH NO WARNING INDICATIONS AND THE DIPSTICK REGISTERS NO ENGINE OIL.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMPASS NEW. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, I HAVE TAKEN MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR REPAIR DUE TO LOSS OF OIL SEVERAL TIMES. THE LOSS OF OIL WAS FIRST NOTICED BEFORE THE FIRST 2,000 MILES ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED ON ME ON WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH OTHER LIGHTS. IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE IT DID START BACK UP EVENTUALLY. WHEN IT DID, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THE WHOLE TIME. RECENTLY, (11/16/19), WHILE DRIVING THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES LOCK UP. THE CAR WILL NOT BUDGE. IN THIS INSTANCE THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THESE ISSUES SEEM TO BE COMPLETELY RANDOM AND WITHOUT WARNING.

PURCHASED AT THE DEALERSHIP @ 5K..ENGINE STALLED @ 18K MILES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.. CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON STICK.. HAD TO BUY OIL TWICE JUST TO TAKE MY JEEP TO BE SERVICED AND HAVE AN 'OIL CONSUMPTION TEST' PERFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES, WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE.. 11K MILES LATER..'SERVICE ENGINE,' 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION,' FLASHES ON DASH. NO OIL ON STICK WITHIN 400 MILES OF NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE.. ENGINE WON'T TURNOVER/START. STRANDED WITH <30K MILES & HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE A YEAR.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I DROVE AND TURNED RIGHT. AFTER ABOUT 10 YARDS, MY CAR STALLED JUST AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME, OR I WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN HIT. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE, SO I KNEW THE PROCESS: PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK, TURN OFF THE EMERGENCY BREAK, TURN OFF THE CAR, TURN ON THE CAR, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THIS SEQUENCE SEEMED TO WORK, BUT MY CAR SHOULD NEVER STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT IS SCARY AND UNSAFE.

CAR STALLS RANDOMLY IF OIL IS LOW ... ON HIGHWAYS, AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE TURNING OR AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN VEHICLE ONLY HAD 3000 MILES. BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL QUICKLY AND WHEN IT IS LOW IT STALLS. THIS WAS A 17 BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS BEFORE WE FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL BACK AND JERK AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. CONTINUED FOR A FEW MILES TO JEEP DEALER WHICH HAPPENED TO BE ON THAT HIGHWAY. THE TECHNICIANS EXPLAINED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION THE VEHICLE RESTRICTS THE SPEED BY PULLING BACK WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY CODE THAT INDICATE A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2019, MY WIFE DROVE OUR 2018 JEEP COMPASS ON A LOCAL STREET, WITHIN MINUTES, THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN SHUT OFF. BEFORE THE CAR SHUT OFF, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, THE CAR DID NOT TURN BACK ON. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON.

I BOUGHT MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FEBRUARY 2019. IN JULY 2019 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 2 DAUGHTERS THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTERS TO VISIT FAMILY ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO LARSON DODGE AND JEEP DEALER IN PUYALLUP, WA. I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE JEEP COMPASS HAS A PROBLEM WITH OIL EVAPORATING AND THEY WOULD CHANGE THE OIL. THE SERVICE PERSON I TALKED TO SAID HIS WIFE ALSO HAS A JEEP COMPASS AND HE IS TRYING TO CONVINCE HIS WIFE TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE HOW OIL CAN JUST EVAPORATE. AT THE TIME OF THE OIL CHANGE I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 3000 TO 3500 MILES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED ONE OTHER TIME AROUND 3000 MILES AND WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT CHANGED AGAIN SOON. THE LAST TIME THE OIL WAS VERY LOW AGAIN AND IT GETTING LOW AGAIN. I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY CHECK MY OIL ON A WEEKLY BASIS ON AN ALMOST NEW CAR. DRIVING THIS CAR, THAT CAN JUST TURN OFF AT ANYTIME DUE TO A KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS NOT ONLY PUTS ME IN DANGER BUT IT PUTS MY CHILDREN IN DANGER EACH TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER MODE OF TRA

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE, VARYING ISSUES WITH MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS SINCE I BEGAN LEASING THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2018. IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO ALONE, THE CAR HAS HAD THE UCONNECT SYSTEM REPLACED OR FIXED 4 TIMES, THE BRAKES WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED, IT BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF OIL AT 6,000 MILES, AND NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY THE "SERVICE SHIFTER" MESSAGE CAME UP ON DASH. ALL LIGHTS ON THE SHIFTER CAME RED. CAR HAS ONLY 15,199 MILES ON IT.

I LEFT MY HOUSE AND DROVE ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AS I WENT TO PROCEED ONTO AN EXTREMELY BUSY ROAD MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT WOULDNT MOVE AND TOLD ME TO SHIFT GEARS THEN PRESS THE BRAKE AND START BOTTON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WOULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. IT TOOK BETWEEN 5-7 MINUTES TO FINALLY START RUNNING, BUT GAVE NO INDICATION OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A MILE TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUE, BUT WAS MOMENTARILY IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND A WEBSITE CONTAINING OF HUNDREDS OF RECENT COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. JEEPS SOLUTION HAS BEEN THAT THE CARS ARE IN NEED OF OIL CHANGES, BUT YET FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS, NO OIL WARNING LIGHT IS EVEN COMING ON. MY HUSBAND CHECKED MY OIL AND THERE BASICALLY IS NONE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHO INFORMED ME THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY UNACCEPTABLE AND FEEL THAT JEEP IS IN OVER THEIR HEADS WITH HOW TO RESOLVE THIS FAULTY SYSTEM THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT AND WONT UNTIL FATALITIES ARE UNFORTUNATELY REPORTED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SAID IT MAY NEED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO REQUIRE ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO RUN A 'TEST'. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHEN OIL IS LOW AND CHRYSLER CONFIRMED THAT. HOW DOES THIS PASS TEST
