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 ENO

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.

AFTER STARTING CAR AND DRIVING EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGES AND CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. UPON TURNING OFF, "LOW OIL PRESSURE" WARNING COMES UP FOR LESS THAN 3 SECONDS AND THEN DISAPPEARS.. AND ENGINE STAYS OFF. TAKES ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES FOR CAR TO TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND BUSY INTERSECTION. SUPER DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE... HAVE CALLED JEEP TO OPEN A CASE AND TAKING IN FOR SERVICING. THIS IS NOT OK. TRUCK IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS, NOT EVEN 3,000 MILES.

THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGES BY ITSELF WHEN PARKED

I LEASED A 2018 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED 4X4 - WAS DRIVING WENT TO ONTO A SIDE STREET FROM A BUSY MAIN STREET , MY JEEP STALLED AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A SPLIT SECOND , AS I COSTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART RIGHT AWAY - IT TOOK A MINUTE TO RESTART - THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AND ONLY HAS 5095 MILE ON IT - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE GUY STATED THAT THE ENGINE IS KNOWN FOR" BURNING OIL " OR USING MORE THAN USUAL AND THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A CASE STARTED ON THIS TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED . THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR - THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY ISSUES . THE COMPANY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE CUSTOMER - NOT MAKE THEM TAKE THE PRODUCT BACK AND FOURTH 3 OR 4 TIMES BEFORE THEY WILL DO ANYTHING

AT 4,000 MILES, STALLED THREE TIMES, THREE DAYS IN A ROW. TOOK IT IN & THEY SAID THE ENGINE IS BURNING OFF OIL TOO QUICKLY. NO LIGHTS CAME ON, JUST KEPT STALLING. *DT CONSUMER STATED ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING.*JB

OVER THE PAST WEEK, I HAVE HAD ABOUT 10 INSTANCES WHERE MY NEW (6 MONTH OLD - ~5K MILE) JEEP COMPASS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, MOVE, OR ANYTHING. THE ONLY ACTION I COULD DO WAS TO BRAKE. DURING A HANDFUL OF THESE INSTANCES, I WAS IN A PARKING GARAGE, GAS STATION OR ON A SIDE STREET WHERE I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE OTHER TIMES, I WAS DRIVING TO/FROM WORK IN THE CITY OF BOSTON. THESE EVENTS WERE EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT WARNING TO PREVENT BEING STUCK IMMOBILE IN THESE INTERSECTIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, REMOVE THE PARKING BRAKE (WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON WHILE DRIVING), THEN SHUT OFF THE CAR, THEN TURN ON THE CAR AGAIN (WHERE THE ENGINE TURNS OVER A FEW TIMES FIRST), THEN IT'S "GOOD" TO DRIVE AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY JEEP DEALER (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TO HAVE THE ISSUE INSPECTED/OIL CHANGED. AS A RESULT, THEY CONCLUDED THAT THE ENGINE ON MY JEEP HAS AN UNRESOLVABLE ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER WHERE THE ENGINE BURNS OIL MORE THAN ADVERTISED, UNLIKE THE 2016 VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE.THEY CONFIRM THAT NO MESSAGE OR ENGINE LIGHT CODE APPEARED, AND THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS WOULD BE TO CHECK THE OIL CONSTANTLY. THEY SHOWED A PRINT OUT FROM THEIR SYSTEM THAT STATED MY CAR HAS 5 QUARTS OF OIL, AND EACH 1 QUART OF OIL SHOULD LAST ~5K MILES. THEREFORE, THE OIL SHOULD NOT BE LOW ENOUGH TO STALL AN ENGINE @ 6 MONTHS/5K

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE FAILED AND CAUSED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WESTSTAR AUTOPLEX (401-403 INTERSTATE 20 FRONTAGE RD, MONOHANS, TX 79756) WHERE AN UNKNOWN MODULE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLAKE FULENWIDER DODGE (1310 E MAIN ST, EASTLAND, TX 76448) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHEN STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE HIGHWAY IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC. IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE JEEP DEALER TELLS ME THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE 2018 AND AVE 11,800 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE HAD 3 OIL CHANGES, DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE STOPPED.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY 180. THE VEHICLES SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, TRANSMISSION LIGHT, ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, AND SERVICE HILL HOLDER TURNED ON. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOLDER. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE OIL AND BOTH WERE GOOD. I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON DRIVE AND THE ELECTRONIC PARKING LIGHT CAME ON AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE FROM GOING ON DRIVE. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR THE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SERVICE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF THE BRAKE STILL WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS ON. I WAS GOING TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE WHEN IT MADE A STRONG POPPING AND SCREECHING SOUND ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN PLACED ON REVERSE. I MOVED IT TO DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAMETHING. I TRIED GIVING IT GAS AND THE D FOR DRIVE WOULD JUST BLINK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAITED 30 MINUTES AND TRIED MOVING IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I SWITCHED THE GEAR FROM PARKING TO DRIVE HEARING THE POPPING SOUND AS I SHIFTED FROM THE P R N D. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR 10-15 MINUTES AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED HEATING UP FROM 180F TO 192F. WHILE LEAVING THE VEHICLE STOPPED FOR A WHILE THE TRANSMISSION TEMP DID COOL OFF BUT I WILL HAVE IT SERVICED SINCE I AM STILL STOPPED AT THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY WHILE WRITING THIS.

OIL CONSUMPTION LOW 2 QUARTS AT 3500 MILES CURRENTLY DOING OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REPLACING ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. CONCERN IS THE DEALER SAID AUTO SHUTOFF NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT IF OIL LEVEL DROPS TO LOW. SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS WITH NEW VEHICLE. DRIVING GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOLS

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT VARYING SPEEDS THE PARKING BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES BY ITSELF, SHUTTING THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO HER NEIGHBORHOOD, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST CAROLINA DODGE JEEP RAM (3401 S MEMORIAL DR, GREENVILLE, NC 27834, (888) 848-5262) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STOP/START SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A NEW SENSOR WAS INSTALLED;. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,079. *DT *TR

CAR IS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST. IT HAS STALLED ON ME (WITHOUT WARNING) 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS DUE TO LOW OIL. TOOK TO DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD TO JUST GET AN OIL CHANGE-THEY REFUSE TO CHECK ANYTHING ELSE AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE COMPASS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES ON A CAR USING SYNTHETIC OIL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD SHUT OFF AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED AT 8100 MILES.

4800 MILES MADE MONTH FOLLOW UP OVER NEXT WEEK TRIED TO TURN OFF STOP/START FEATURE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS MPG. . I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COINCIDENCE NOT THE ISSUE BUT MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF 2/3 INTO TURN, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, COUPLE TIMES SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT NOT AT A STOP AND DIDN'T WANT TO RESTART. DAY OF CAR FOLLOW UP 3 TIMES TURNING RIGHT IT DIES AND LOW OIL PRESSURE FLICKED ON FOR ABOUT A SECOND. WAS TOLD NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THEN TODAY TOLD CHRYSLER ENGINEERS SAID NO ITS SOMETHING WITH NEW CAR AND SOLVENT CAUSING OIL ISSUE IT WAS TOO LOW BUT NOT LEAKING OUT/ I'M TOLD THEY WILL CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION EVERY 1000 MILES AND STAND BY PRODUCT, LOCAL DEALER SAID COME BACK AT 500 MILES. WHAT IF IT DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON HIGHWAY? TRADED AN OIL BURNING AUDI FOR JEEP IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE ENGINE BUT NOW I'M FACED WITH NEW CAR AND WORRIED IT WILL DIE CAUSING ME TO END UP A STATISTIC. WHY DIDN'T LIGHT COME ON EARLIER AND WHY ONLY A SECOND TO WARN WHEN THE CAR WAS ALREADY SHUT DOWN WHEN IT WARNED ME? SOME RECALLS WERE MADE WHY ISN'T MINE OR OTHERS I'M READING ABOUT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. BEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (520 COLONY PL, PLYMOUTH, MA 02360) STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE RESPONDING. ADDITIONALLY, THE BACK-UP CAMERA INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. ALSO, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR AND STEAM COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GANLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (310 BROADWAY AVE, BEDFORD, OH 44146, (440) 232-2121) TO BE DIAGNOSED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TCM, ECM, AND PCM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27.

WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO TURN AND THE JEEP TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE FOR IT TO START AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP DID THE SAME THING. I'M LUCKY THAT THERE WAS AN AREA FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO ON THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD OR I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE JEEP. I HAD 1K MILES LEFT TO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND GET MY OIL CHANGED ALWAYS BEFORE 5K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THESE JEEPS BURN OIL FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD AND I SHOULD BUY SYNTHETIC OIL TO CARRY IN THE JEEP AND CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLUTION, AS I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THE JEEP IF THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CARRY OIL AROUND WITH ME & CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS, AS THERE IS NO WARNING THAT YOUR OIL IS LOW BEFORE THE JEEP TURNS OFF. I TRAVEL AT LEAST 100 MILES A DAY FOR WORK AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL EVERY OTHER DAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP COMPASSM WITH LESS THAN 5K MILES, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND LOCKED THE STEERING AND EVERYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WITHOUT HESITATION, THEY KNEW THAT IT NEEDED A BRAND NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE CAR "SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL THIS QUICKLY." THEY MADE IT SEEM AS THOUGH THIS OCCURS EXTREMELY FREQUENTLY AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE JUST BY LOOKING UP "JEEP COMPASS BURNING OIL." THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER TOLD HIM RINGS AND PISTONS IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE OLD ENGINE WAS BURNING A CRAZY AMOUNT OF OIL ENGINE WAS BURNING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL, DEALER HINTED THAT A RECALL MAY HAPPEN BECAUSE HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM WAS.*JB

THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. SLOWING TO STOP AT A LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN ON SIDE STREET NO TRAFFIC. TURN WITH ACCELERATION OFF A HEAVY CONGESTED AREA TO SIDE ROAD. NO ACCIDENT TO REPORT, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ONE AT THE BUSIEST INTERSECTION IN TOWN. THE 3RD INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT READ AND CODE P2172 IS THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. ALL 3 TIMES WERE WITHIN 8 DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW SECONDS, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRYSTAL LAKE JEEP DODGE CHRYSLER RAM (5404 S ILLINOIS RTE 31, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60012, (815) 459-9000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT A QUART OF OIL HAD BEEN BURNED OFF SINCE THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE BURNING OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF CHELSEA (1500 S MAIN ST, CHELSEA, MI 48118), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN MY BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP COMPASS STALLED OUT. I HAD TO QUICKLY DRIFT TO SAFETY AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE TO START AGAIN. AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ALL WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT USUALLY MEANS IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD CHECK THE OIL EVERY 500 TO 1000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THE CAR TAKES OIL AND SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ABOUT 5,000 MILES. NEVER ONCE DID I RECEIVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLES. *DT *DT*JB

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AMIDST TRAFFIC, IN INTERSECTIONS, AND ONCE ON A FREEWAY. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS BRAKING TO STOP AT AN OFF RAMP OF AN INTERSTATE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TURNING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS IN MOTION ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. IN ALL THESE INSTANCES I RECEIVED ALERTS THAT MY AUTO START NEEDED SERVICING EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP JUST LOOKED AT IT AND CLEARED THE ERROR/CODE. IT WAS A MIRACLE I WASN'T HIT WHEN THESE EVENTS OCCURRED. THE EVENT HAPPENS IN THIS ORDER: GAS PEDAL STOPS WORKING, SO THE CAR BEGINS TO COAST BUT CANNOT ACCELERATE. ALL THE ENGINEER WARNING LIGHTS POP UP AT ONCE. CAR BEGINS TO BEEP (I ASSUME BECAUSE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS), STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, PREVENTING YOU FROM COASTING YOUR CAR TO THE SHOULDER, THEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGES SO YOU ARE STUCK WHERE YOU ARE. YOU ARE UNABLE TO START THE CAR OR MOVE THE CAR AND YOU ARE STUCK EXACTLY WHERE IT DIED. AGAIN, THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, AND WHILE ON A REGULAR ROAD. WITHOUT WARNING - THE CAR JUST DIES. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES YOU CAN START THE CAR UP AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE, BUT YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR LETS YOU DO IT AND YOU NEVER HAVE A WARNING FOR WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN TO PUT YOURSELF IN A SAFE POSITION ON THE ROAD. IT'S A DANGER TO THE DRIVER AND SURROUNDING VEHICLES. HONESTLY, IT'S TERRIFYING.

I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES, HOWEVER, ON TWO OCCASIONS THEY SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT MY OIL IS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT. I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY CAR SERVICES AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR APPEARS TO BE CONSUMING RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY. THE JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO COME BACK TO GET ANOTHER OIL CHANGE. I'M GOING THROUGH SEVERAL QUARTERS FULL SYNTHETIC QUARTS EVERY THOUSAND OR SO MILES. THE VEHICLE IS NOT LEAKING OIL ANYWHERE; AS I PARK IN THE SAME SPOTS AT WORK AND AT HOME AND HAVE SEEN NOTHING LEAKING. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A *SEPARATE AND UNRELATED ISSUE* TO THE ELECTRONIC ISSUES THAT ARE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT NOTICE, WHILE IN MOTION.

VEHICLE STALLED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ON TWO DIFFERENT DATES, TWICE WHILE YIELDING TO INTERSTATE RAMP, ONCE WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND ONCE WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET.. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK TO RESTART AND DID NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY, ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND FAILED TURNOVER. REPORTED STALLS OCCURRED IN VARYIED TEMPERATURES. VEHICLE IS 4 MONTHS OLD.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN MOTION, WE EXPERIENCED THIS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WE ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, LUCKILY THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL AROUND US HONKING HIS HORN THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. I CALLED JEEP/ CHRYSLER CORPORATE TO EXPRESS THE SAFETY CONCERNS AND THEY ADVISED THAT "THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW TO PROTECT ITSELF". I REPLIED THAT THE VALUE OF AN ENGINE DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR OTHER MOTORIST. THE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE ISSUE BACK TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION ON THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINES, THEY CLAIM THAT THROUGH THEIR OWN GUIDELINES IT IS OK FOR THE JEEP COMPASS TO BURN 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2,000 MILES (SEEMS HIGH). THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE AND IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS DOES NOT HAVE AN OIL PRESSURE GAUGE SO DRIVERS DO NOT HAVE A WARNING AS TO WHEN THE VEHICLE MAY POTENTIALLY SHUT-OFF. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT AS WELL AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS FOR ME TO CHECK AND ADD OIL EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS, SOMETHING YOU DON'T EXPECT TO DO ON A NEW VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BUT HIS HANDS WERE TIED UNTIL CHRYSLER ISSUES A RECALL.

AFTER STARTING CAR AND DRIVING FOR 2 MINUTES EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGES AND CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, UPON TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING WHILE TURNING RIGHT THE LOW PRESSURE SENSOR APPEARS THEN DISAPPEARS AND SERVICE ENGINE WARNING COMES ON CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING AFTER THE ALARM DISAPPEARS OFF DASH. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS. IT ALSO OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR GOT TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP.

MY TOUCH SCREEN JUST STARTING HAVING LINES THROUGH IT AND IS GETTING WORSE ONLY 22,000 MILES ON MY JEEP

RADIO WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON WHILE THE CAR IS OFF AND I AM OUTSIDE OF IT (DOORS LOCKED) CAR WILL STRUGGLE TO GO INTO GEAR SOMETIMES, STRONG JERK ONCE IT GOES INTO GEAR. WINDSHIELD WHIPPERS WILL TURN ON ON THEIR OWN (SUNNY DAY) AND WILL NOT TURN OFF.

THIS IS THE THIRD CAR I OWN, MY FIRST TWO CARS WERE HONDA AND NOW I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR SINCE AUGUST, ON 2/26/19 AROUND 1:30PM I WAS DRIVING FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY AUTOMATIC STOP/START TURNED MY CAR OFF, I PRESSED THE BUTTON AND MY CAR STARTED AGAIN NORMALLY. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK TO THE GAS AND MY CAR DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED THE AUTO AGAIN AND I STILL DID NOT MOVE, CONTINUED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND NOTHING WOULD WORK. I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR TWICE BEFORE IT WOULD MOVE. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE AT A GREEN LIGHT WITH CARS BEHIND ME. ON 2/27/19 AT 2:45PM I STARTED MY CAR AND WHILE I WAS STILL DRIVING PRESSED THE AUTO STOP/START, I GET ABOUT 200 FEET FURTHER BEFORE MY CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN AND SHUT OFF. I WAITED SOME TIME BEFORE RESTARTING MY CAR. ON 3/1/19 AT 2:30PM I DID NOT HAVE AUTO STOP/START ON, I WAS DRIVING FOR SOME TIME AND MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN SO I PUSHED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE WHEN MY CAR CAME TO A STOP ON ITS OWN AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT CAME ON ON ITS OWN. I WAITED SOME TIME AGAIN BEFORE RESTARTING MY CAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AS IT IS DANGEROUS TO JUST STOP ON ITS OWN. ** PLEASE NOTE THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 2965 MILES ON IT AS OF 3/2/19 *

I BOUGHT THE COMPASS WITH 136 MILES ON IT. AROUND THE 4500 MILE MARK MY JEEP DIED AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON A STRAIGHT, 25 MPH STREET SEGMENT AFTER MAKING A TURN 30 FEET PRIOR. AFTER BRINGING THE JEEP IN IMMEDIATELY FOR SERVICE, THE TECHNICIANS FOUND NOTHING WRONG. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY ROAD. A LOG TRUCK WAS COMING BUT I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OUT AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT CREATING A NEED FOR THE LOG TRUCK TO BRAKE. AS I BEGAN TO PULL OUT, MY JEEP DIED WITH THE NOSE SLIGHTLY INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT FOLLOWED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE JEEP STARTED AFTER A MINUTE AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO LOW OIL AND THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE PROTECTION FEATURE. HEY JEEP/CHRYLSER...HOW IS AN ENGINE PROTECTION FEATURE THAT PROVIDES NO WARNING A BETTER OPTION THAN THE VEHICLE STALLING IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC? SINCE THOSE INCIDENTS, I NOTICE I BURN OIL FAST AND SPEND MORE MONEY CONSTANTLY POURING OIL INTO MY JEEP THAN I DO ON MY 2005 SILVERADO WITH OVER 115,000 MILES. EITHER INSTALL A SENSOR THAT ALERTS THE DRIVER OF A LOW OIL CONDITION PRIOR TO THE JEEP STALLING IN TRAFFIC OR RETHINK YOUR DESIGN! WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE? NOW MY JEEP HESITATES WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE, BUT DOES NOT STALL SINCE I ADD A QUART FREQUENTLY.

THE DASH LIGHTS DO NOT DIM WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM DAY TO NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER, TURN IT OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART. SOMETIMES IT TAKES THREE OR FOUR TRIES BEFORE THE LIGHTS DIM. ADDITIONALLY, THE REVERSE CAMERA DISPLAY DOES NOT DIM AT NIGHT. I HAVE ALMOST BACKED INTO A DITCH AND A TREE BECAUSE I WAS BLINDED BY THE CAMERA DISPLAY. USUALLY I HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING OVER IT WHILE BACKING UP AT NIGHT IN ORDER TO DO SO SAFELY. VERY POOR DESIGN IN BOTH THE DASH AND REVERSE CAMERA DIMMING TECHNOLOGY. IT'S NOT LIKE THE DIMMING FEATURE IS NEW TECHNOLOGY!

ENCIENDO EL VEHCULO PERO CUANDO ME QUEDO DENTRO DEL MISMO ENCENDIDO Y CON AIRE ACONDICIONADO ENCENDIDO POR LO MENOS 20MINUTOS SE ENCIENDE LUZ DEL MOTOR Y TRANSMISIN INDICANDO TIENE QUE SER VERIFICADO, PROCEDO APAGAR EL VEHCULO POR 2HRS Y AL ENCENDERLO NUEVAMENTE YA NO LO TIENE PERO AVECES PUEDE SALIR CORRIENDO EL VEHCULO Y EL CAMBIO SE QUEDA EN 3D NUNCA BAJA Y NO PASA DE 40MPH

I'VE OWNED A 2018 JEEP COMPASS FOR 2 MONTHS I BOUGHT IT WITH LESS THAN 50 MILES ON IT. AT 3500 MILES THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF RANDOMLY. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE JEEP IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAUSE OF THIS IS THE JEEP CONSUMES OIL AG A RATE OF A QUART PER 1000 MILES AND THE JEEP IS INSTALLED WITH A FAIL SAFE THAT KILLS THE MOTOR SO IT DOESN'T HARM THE MOTOR BUT WILL LEAVE YOU STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART THE CAR IS TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT.THERE IS NO LOW OIL WARNINGS OR OIL CHANGE INDICATORS. THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE IS 5000 MILES

UPON FIRST STOP OF DAY-ONLY ON FIRST STOP, THE BRAKES STOP VEHICLE EXTREMELY HARD, IF NOT WEARING SEAT BELT-YOU WOULD IMPACT WINDSHIELD. AFTER TRAVELING FOR 10MIN BRAKES WORK CORRECTLY, THIS HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE - VEHICLE IS AT DEALER NOW AND HAS BEEN FOR TWO WEEKS-WITH NO CORRECTIVE ACTION YET.

SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. FIRST TIME ELECTRICAL ISSUES PREVENTED CAR FROM SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR AND CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF, I HAD TO PULL FUSES TO GET CAR TO SHUT DOWN. EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT EVEN ENGAGE. SO MY DAUGHTER HAD TO HOLD THE BRAKE BECAUSE SAID AUTO WAS STUCK IN REVERSE FOR OVER ONE HOUR. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS DEALERSHIP WAS NOT TRUTHFUL IN DISCLOSING THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. WEB SHOWS SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING, WHY HAS THE NTHTSA NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SETUP. I BELIEVE IT'S TIMES THAT THIS CAR GETS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOCKED IN REVERSE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS ENGINE WILL NOT SHUT OFF,SHIFT WILL NOT MOVE OR DISENGAGE, HAVE TO HOLD BRAKE PEDDLE DOWN OR HAVE ACCIDENT. NO SHUT DOWN, HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE PULL FUSE UNDER THE HOOD TO SHUT CAR OFF. WAS IN MOTION IN REVERSE IN A PARKING LOT, ALMOST HIT CAR BEHIND ME. SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS ONLINE 2018 JEEP COMPASS SHIFTER LOCKING

AFTER USING THE REMOTE START AND GETTING IN THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE OR PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON TO ALLOW THE WHEEL TO MOVE FREELY, IN TURN ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FORWARD ON A HILL WITHOUT BEING FULLY TURNED ON THUS NOT ALLOWING FOR THE POWER STEERING TO WORK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN POSITION. WHEN IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, AFTER PLACING IT BACK INTO PARK THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT START BUT CONTINUED TO BE ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE BRAKE. THE VEHICLES START/STOP WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED FOR FOR UP TO 3 MINUTES THEN THE CAR VERY SUDDENLY SHOOK, POWERED DOWN, AND I WAS ABLE TO PLACE IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR VIA THE START/STOP BUTTON AND NORMAL OPERATION WAS RESUMED.

WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, MY CAR SHUT OFF INSTANTLY, NO WARNING. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR THAT A CAR WAS NOT DRIVING BEHIND ME! MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW. CAR ONLY HAS, 2,840 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW ON, 6/30/2018, WITH ONLY, 28 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS EMPTY AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. HE SAID THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHER JEEP/DODGE VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR. THE MECHANIC DID AN OIL CHANGE AND STATED TO BRING THE CAR BACK AFTER 500 MILES TO CHECK THE OIL AGAIN. HE STATED IF THE OIL LOST HAPPENS AGAIN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I THINK THIS IS ABSURD FOR A NEW VEHICLE WITH SO LITTLE MILES ON IT! FIAT/CHRYSLER IS NO HELP AND WILL NOT GIVE ANY OPTIONS OTHER THAN REPLACING THE ENGINE. SHAMEFUL AND SHOWS THEY DO NOT VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS TIME NOR FEELINGS. THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE CARS WITH THESE SAME DEFECTED ENGINES. IF YOU SEARCH, JEEP BURNING OIL, YOU WILL FIND A TON OF COMPLAINTS.

THE VEHICLE HAS 1700 MILES AND STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. TOOK 15 MIN FOR IT TO START BACK UP. THE FIRST TIME WITH 300 MILES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE BATTERIES WERE BAD. *BF CONSUMER VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AND WAS TOWED. THE FIRST WAS DUE TO PRIMARY AND AUXILLARY FAILING AND PRIMARY BATTERY TERMINAL WAS NOT SECURED TO THE LEAD. BOTH BATTERIES WERE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED WAS DUE TO STARTER AND ALTERNATOR CABLES AT THE BATTERY FUSE BLOCKED OVERTIGHTENED WHICH CAUSED DAMAGED TO BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL. FUSE BLOC WAS REPLACED ALSO DURING BOTH INCIDENTS, STEERING WHEEL WAS INORPERABLE.*JB

I PURCHASED A A BRAND NEW JEEP COMPASS AND 12 DAYS LATER IT WENT HAYWIRE. I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 20-35MPH. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND MPG ON SPEEDOMETER READ 99MPH THEN SKIPPED TO11MPH AND I WAS PRACTICALLY AT A STAND STILL. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE VIDEO OF THIS. THE NEXT DAY THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND I FIGURED I'D TAKE IT IN THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY (MONDAY). WELL I DIDNT MAKE IT TO MONDAY. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SUNDAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME THEN WHIILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A MESSAGE ACROSS THE DIGITAL DASH STATING, "PLEASE PULL TO SAFETY, VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN SOON". THEN EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO SHOW WEIRD NUMBERS. IT LOOKED LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE THERE WERE SO MANY LIGHTS. THAT MESSAGE WAS ACCURATE BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY DID. IT SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL TO SAFETY. I WASNT ABLE TO CAPTURE VIDEO AS I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS LATER TOLD THEY COULDNT RECREATE/REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. SO, AFTER REFUSING TO TAKE IT BACK HOME, THEY DECIDED THEY'D HAVE ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS DRIVE IT HOME TO SEE IF WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. NEEDLESS TO SAY 7 MOS LATER THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR AND NOW IT JUST DOESNT EVEN START.

2018 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED BOUGHT BRAND NEW WOULD NOT START WITH APPROX. 240 MILES ON IT. WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. CALLED DEALER, WAS TOLD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. CAR STARTED AFTER SOME TIME, CANCELLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I DROVE CAR TO DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS, SAID IT WAS SOFTWARE AND SAID CAR SEEMED TO FIX ITSELF. I DROVE CAR HOME THAT SAME DAY. SECOND TIME ,SAME ISSUE, CAR WOULD NOT START WITH APPRX. 3600 MILES . I HAD JUST COME OUT OF THE SUPERMARKET. CALLED DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, CALLED JEEP ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, WHO LEFT ME SITTING IN THE COLD FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. COLD AND VERY ANGRY I CANCELLED THAT TOW AND USED MY TRIPLE AAA AND MY LOCAL TOW GUY,(WHO HAD THE JEEP LOADED ON THE FLATBED IN HALF AN HOUR) AND DROVE ME AND MY JEEP TO MY DEALER. SERVICE IS TRYING TO FIX THE CAR. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. JEEP PROVIDED A RENTAL FOR 1 WEEK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE WITH THIS CAR. HOPING THEY CAN FIX IT OR IT IS MAYBE A LEMON. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS PARKED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR LEAVE ME STRANDED LIKE THIS. I DO HAVE A CASE FILE WITH JEEP AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN 1 BUSINESS DAY. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, I CALLED THEM BACK AND WAS TOLD I WAS GIVEN INCORRECT INFORMATION AND THAT ACTUALLY THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN 24-48 HOURS. SO, I BETTER GET A PHONE CALL OR E-MAIL ON MONDAY. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A SAFE CAR.. I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY NOW.

"TAKATA RECALL" EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL, THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IN MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IS I'M CHANGING MY OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND BEFORE I REACH THE 3 000 MILES I HAVE TO BUY 2 QUARTS OF OIL, AND I'M USING 100% SYNTHETIC OIL. MY MILEAGE IS 8230.
