2018 Jeep Compass complaints

IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR 2018. I BOUGHT A NEW JEEP COMPASS. I COMPLAINT TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT. I WAS TOLD THERE NOTHING THEY CAN DO. EVERY TIME YOU STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR COME UP ON TO A STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE STALL OUT. WHEN REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. IT WILL RESTART. THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE STARTER. IT'S ACCIDENT WAITING HAPPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THIS BEFORE THE PEOPLE IN THIS VEHICLE ARE INJURY OR KILL. WHEN WHAT!!!! IF YOU READ ALL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE 94 COMPLAINTS.

NEW JEEP WOULDN'T START WITH 1700 MILES ON IT.FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD.WHILE ON THE ROAD CAR DASHBOARD SAID" FAILURE,VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF , GO TO A SAFE PLACE" IT DIED AND AT LEAST I MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT. TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE! HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER.I HAVE HAD IT ONE MONTH. DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY BE AN OIL MODULE PROBLEM THAT IS RECURRING AND IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING! SO MUCH FOR BUYING A "SAFE" NEW CAR. I AM DISGUSTED. THEY TOLD ME TO REPORT IT TO CHRYSLER. THEY SEE THIS HAPPENING A LOT! WHY NOT INFORM CONSUMERS BEFORE PURCHASE? I AM AFRAID TO EVEN GET IT BACK. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT.

RADIO HAS WHITE LINES GOING DOWN AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE SCREEN. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IT CONTROLS LIGHTING OF THE VEHICLE CLIMATE AND MOST IMPORTANT THE REAR BACK CAMERA FOR WHEN BACKING UP. MORE THAN 3 MONTHS SINCE I TOOK IT FOR WARRANTY AND STILL NO ANSWER FROM JEEP

I WAS DRIVING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY JUST AS MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED DRIVING, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR, AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED. I HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT UP AND HAD TO WAIT A FEW MOMENTS FOR IT TO START AGAIN, BUT THE CAR DID NOT FEEL THE SAME WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE.

WHEN FIRST STARRING VEHICLE AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. I STARTED MY CAR. THEN STARTED TO BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE GOT TO DRIVEWAY AND INTERSECTION OF MAIN STREET WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO DIE/STALL ALL LIGHTS WHERE ON THOUGH. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AND TURNED THE CORNER WHEN THE CAR STALLED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. I PUSHED THE START BUTTON AND STARTED RIGHT UP BOTH TIMES

ON NOVEMBER 27, 2018, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING MIDWAY THRU THE TURN. I WAS ALMOST IN A CRASH. I GOT THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I STARTED THE ENGINE. YOU COULD NOT HEAR IT RUNNING BUT THE RPM GAUGE REGISTERD AROUN 5-500 RPM. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT BEGAN TO RUN. I CALL THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THE SOONEST I COULD GET TO THE DEALER WAS THE 29TH. I DELIVERED THE CAR TO THE DEALER EARLY ON THE 29TH. THE DEAL CALLED ME AROUND 5:30 PM THE SAME DAY TO EXPLAIN THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL AND THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. THEY ASKED ME TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I RETURNED THE CAR ON DECEMBER THE 7. I STARTED THE CAR THAT MORNING AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR HAD NO OIL IT WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR 10-15 MIN AND RETURNED IT TO ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS FINE. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE OIL WAS LOW. SINCE THEN I SPOKE TO AJ AT THE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS THREE QUARTS LOW ON OIL WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN ON DECEMBER 27TH. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW. I HAVE HAD ALL SERVICE DONE AT THE DEALER. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AT TIMES, MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH GEAR. NOTED TIMES ARE WHEN CRESTING A HILL (STAYS IN 4TH GEAR AT HIGHER RPM'S UNTIL CAR LEVELS OUT OVER THE HILL) AND ALSO WHEN CRUISING AT LOW SPEED (30-35MPH) WHEN RPM'S ARE LOW. ALL OTHER GEAR SHIFTS ARE SMOOTH. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR UPGRADES VIA COMPUTER. ONE UPGRADE WAS MADE BUT DID NOT CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ANOTHER 2018 JEEP COMPASS WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAME THING, GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT 'THAT IS HOW IT IS.' THIS IS NONSENSE AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH STANDARD DRIVING PRACTICES.

WHEN USING THE BACK-UP CAMERA, THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS SHINE INTO THE CAMERA AND THE BRIGHTNESS IS PRACTICALLY BLINDING. IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE/MANEUVER THE CAR, EVEN IF USING THE MIRRORS ,AND NOT THE CAMERA, TO BACK-UP. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS MANUALLY. IF OTHER CARS/PEOPLE ARE IN THE VACINITY, IT MAY CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE.

CONSUMER BOUGHT CAR IN AUGUST 2018 (MEMORIAL WEEKEND). UPON OBTAINING THE CAR, CONSUMER NOTICED THAT CAR APPEARED TO ATTEMPT TO STALL WHEN BREAK; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WOULD KICK BACK IN AND NOT STALL. LAST WEEK (END OF NOVEMBER 2018) CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STOPPED AT AN INDIVIDUALS HOME TO PICK THEM UP WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH THE STOP/START SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CONSUMER TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE CAR; LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAR RAN AS NORMAL. CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY 12/5/2018 WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR STALLED AND RESTARTED, PUTTING IT INTO A "POWER SAVING MODE" WHERE THE RADIO DID NOT WORK AND PARKING BREAK LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHT, AND START/ STOP LIGHT. UPON GETTING THE CAR TO THE DESTINATION (HALF A MILE) THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONSUMER TURNED OFF CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT BACK ON. CAR INSTRUMENTS TURNED ON; HOWEVER, WOULD WAS OBSERVED CLICKING AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE START/STOP IS ILLUMINATED. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE "COMPLAINTS" FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SAME THINGS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING.

I HAVE ABOUT 5500 MILES ON MY NEW COMPASS. WHILE IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE DISPLAY FLASHED 'OIL PRESSURE LOW' FOR LESS THAN A SECOND. THEN ANY INDICATION OF THAT WARNING LIGHT IS GONE. THE ENGINE THEN SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHICH MAKES THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A REAR END CRASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMED 3 QUARTS OF OIL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL UNTIL A SECOND BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AND TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE DEALER (SUSQUEHANNA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 950 HELLAM ST, WRIGHTSVILLE, PA 17368, 717-401-4005) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 18V524000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 17V670000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER ALSO FOUND AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK THAT HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,800.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I HAVE HAD THE RADIO SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, THE STOP/START FEATURE KEEPS THROWING ERRORS, MY TEMP GAUGES HAVE WENT HAYWIRE, AND THE BLOWER MOTOR HAS SHORTED OUT AND COOLENT HAS LEAKED OUT CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVER HEAT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE WITH LESS THAT 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 26 DAYS, 1 TIME BEING TOWED. ALSO HAVE HAD 4 TRIM PIECES REPLACED. ONE PIECE IS STILL ON BACK ORDER FROM 6 MONTHS AGO. ONE PIECE IS FINE AND THE OTHER 2 HAVE ALREADY POPPED OFF. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 11 MONTHS. THE FIRST ISSUE STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 1404 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD SERIOUS ISSUES WITH IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 11,400 MILES ON IT.

THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH 335 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

2018 JEEP STALLED THREE TIMES IN TWO DAYS. FIRST AND SECOND STALLS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP SIGN (5 MPH). THIRD STALL HAPPENED AS TRAVELING ON THE ON-RAMP (40 MPH) TO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. PARKING BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE IS DEAD. RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER TWO MINUTES OR SO TO CLEAR INTERSECTION. DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY REASON FOR STALL AND "CHRYSLER HAS NOTHING ON IT." DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN.

AT ABOUT 25 MPH THE BREAKS DIDN'T WORK WHEN APPLIED AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, SOME TIMES THE CAR SPEEDS UP EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS NOT APPLIED, SOMETIMES WHEN I SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE D OR R INDICATOR FLASHING THEN I HAVE TO PARK AND TRY AGAIN.

DAYTON ANDREWS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, INC. SOLD ME A DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND REFUSE TO ABIDE BY LEMON LAW. ON APRIL 21 2018 I PURCHASED A NEW JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE 4X2 SPORT UTILITY WITH 15 MILES ON ODOMETER. AUGUST 2 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO ENGINE STALLING, INTERMITTENT ENGINE SHUT OFFS, WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON, ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND MULTIPLE LOSS OF PANEL COMMUNICATION FAULTS. AUGUST 6, I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL LEAD MECHANIC STATED IT'S A LEMON AND THAT I SHOULD GO LEMON LAW. HE COULDN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE REPAIRED THIS TIME AND HE WILL CONTINUE TRYING TO FIX VEHICLE IF ORDERED BY HIS BOSS. BEFORE I COULD LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT VEHICLE STALLED AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION OCCURRED, SO THE VEHICLE NEVER LEFT LOT AND REMAINED UNTIL OCTOBER 29TH UNTIL I WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND TO PICK UP. ON OCTOBER 31ST, VEHICLE HAD ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION AND COMPLETE BLACKOUT OF CONTROL PANEL SCREEN. ON NOVEMBER 7 CHRYSLER FORMALLY REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE AND INSTEAD ADDED INSULT TO INJURY OFFERING $3000 TO KEEP THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

NAVIGATION SCREEN LIGHTING IS AT HIGHEST SETTING WHILE IN REVERSE. THE BACK UP SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT THAT THE DRIVER IS TEMPORARILY BLINDED BY THE EXTREME BRIGHTNESS OF THE SCREEN THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY BRIGHTNESS SETTING OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

FACTORY TRAILER TOW OPTION LIGHTING CONTROL SHUTS LIGHTS OFF ON TRAILER AND INDICATES TURN SIGNAL LIGHT OUT WHEN LIGHTS ARE FINE. LEFT TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION. MULTIPLE TRAILERS TESTED. DEALER HAS REPLACED TRAILER CONTROL MODULE TWICE AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. STILL NO RESOLUTION TO PROBLEM. THIS RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN TOWING.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND IN A MIDDLE OF THE STREET TURN OFF, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED IT DIDN'T HAVE NO ENGINE OIL ON IT. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW NOT EVEN 5000 MILES ON IT. DIDN'T SHOW ANY WARNING BEFORE HAND MAKING IT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE LIKE ME TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AND THE CAR STOPING OUT OF NOWHERE.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN LAST WEEK. SIMPLY SHUTS DOWN IN MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREET. *DT UPDATED 12/13/18*JB

I AM REQUESTING FIAT CHRYSLER AUTO REPAIR ALL AIRBAGS THAT WERE DEPLOYED INCLUDING DASH AND SEAT BELTS. IN ADDITION THEIR WAS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE AIRBAGS THAT DEPLOYED. FIAT CHRYSLER AUTO HAS FAILED TO TAKE ANY ACCOUNTABILITY. AFTER PURCHASING A 2018 JEEP COMPASS TRAIL HAWK, TRAIL RATED VEHICLE, IN WHICH THREE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED PRIOR TO PURCHASE, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND BEING THAT THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT, HE COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW THREE AIRBAGS COULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRAME OR ORIGINAL RADIATOR. AS A RESULT, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THAT AN INSPECTION BE COMPLETED TO EXAMINE WHY THREE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/24/2018, FOR A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULE,RECALL T73/NHTSA 17V-732, WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE THREE AIRBAGS LATER DEPLOYED. I DELIVERED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 10, 2018 FOR AN INSPECTION APPOINTMENT, SCHEDULED FOR 8AM THE NEXT MORNING. BILL COMPLETED HIS INSPECTION WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE INFORMATION HAD BEEN FORWARDED TO DETROIT. I RECEIVED A ONE PAGE FACTORY STOCKED LETTER EMAILED FROM FCA TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF THREE AIRBAGS AND NO EXPLANATION. THE LETTER WQS NOT EVEN SIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING AND LACKED ANY ACCOUNTABILITY, AND EVEN FAILED TO ADDRESS THE RECALL ON THE PASSENGER

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK OR BUMP HARD ENOUGH FOR SEAT BELT TENSION SYSTEM TO JERK YOU INTO THE SEAT. WOULD MOSTLY HAPPEN AT A CONSTANT 30 MPH OR LOWER SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE. ALTHOUGH WOULD ALSO HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON ACCELERATION SUCH AS ON RAMP OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF THIS AND AFTER A TOUCH SCREEN SAFETY UPDATE TO KEEP THE DISPLAY FROM FLASHING FULL BRIGHTNESS AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO PRIVATE ENTRY OF WORK (GATE THAT REQUIRES RFID BADGE) AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO MISS FROM HITTING US AT ONLY 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. LUCKY WE WERE ONLY DOING AROUND 20 MILES AN HOUR AND HAD OUR BLINKER ON. THE TECH THAT TOOK 22 DAYS TO WORK ON THE MOTOR OF THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THE MOTOR TURNED IT SELF OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO 5 PSI DUE TO A PLASTIC PART IN ENGINE CLOGGING. I ASKED WHY THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND HE SAID IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO COME ON UNTIL 3 PSI AND IT WILL NEVER SHOW CAUSE THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF FIRST. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE YOU HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING ON LOW OIL LEVEL OR LOW OIL PSI. ON NEARLY ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE MARKET IF YOU HAVE AN 18 WHEELER COMING UP BEHIND YOU AT HIGH SPEED AND GOING TO HIT YOU AND YOU HEAR A DING AND SEE YOU HAVE LOW OIL YOU CAN SPEED UP AND GET TO A SAFE DISTANCE TO PULL OVER OR PULL OVER RIGHT THEN AND TURN OFF THE MOTOR TO

WHEN IDLING IN PARK, THREW A CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, VEHICLE ROUGHLY SLAMS INTO GEAR AND IS UNABLE TO SWITCH GEARS ONCE DRIVING.

VEHICLE LEASED NEW BEGAN TO HAVE GRUMBLING, LOAD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AT 37MPH. TOOK TEST DRIVE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME NOISE. JEEP SAID KNOWN ISSUE WAITING FOR UPDATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER UPDATED TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE LINE MODULE. NOISE STILL THERE, IF VECHILE PLACED IN 4X4 OR ESC TURNED OFF NOISE WILL DISAPPEAR. NOISE SOUNDS LIKE IT CAN BE DRIVELINE OR TRANSMISSION NOT IN RIGHT GEAR. CAR IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND RPM GOES HIGH. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT A FEW TIMES FOR NO REASON CAR WAS STATIONARY WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE AUTO START OFF DISABLED. HEATED STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS GET EXTREMELY HOT. SHUT DOWN ON THERE OWN AT TIMES FOR NO REASON. POOR GAS MILEAGE IS RELATED TO ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND DRIVELINE PROBLEMS

SEVERAL DAYS AGO WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, MY JEEP COMPASS WOULD NOT BRAKE AT ALL. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OFF ON THE MEDIAN LEFT SIDE UNTIL IT STOPPED.. TWO DAYS AGO, OCTOBER 10TH, WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, WITH BRAKE DEPRESSED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND HIT A SIGN JUST MISSING A TREE. THE PASSENGER FRONT RIGHT SIDE, DOOR, BACK DOOR, AND REARVIEW MIRROR WERE DAMAGED. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT. VERY SCARY AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, IT LURCHED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE PRECEDING VEHICLE HAD A TRAILER HITCH AND RIPPED OFF THE CONTACT'S BUMPER. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAINBOW CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MCCOMB, LLC (101 RAINBOW WAY, MCCOMB, MS 39648, (601) 684-7020), BUT THEY DID NOT INSPECT THE DAMAGE AND STATED THEY WERE NOT A COLLISION CENTER. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON, RIGHT SIDE OF RPM GAUGE IS LITE UP WITH THREE BARS. VEHICLE HAS LARGE CLUNK WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND ACCELERATING, ATTEMPTS TO STALE AT LOW SPEEDS. NOTE I TURN OFF THE STOP/START SWITCH AS I DO NOT LIKE IT TO TURN OFF AT STOP SIGNS. THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT IS STILL ON. THE DEALER SAID IT COULD NOT LOOK AT MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAS 2,496 MILES ON IT. THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME I COMPLAINED THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS. VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS FOR STALLING OUT EVEN AT SPEEDS OF 10-20 MPH. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE IN MY GARAGE, IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR END IS GOING TO BUST THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS.

TURN SIGNAL FAILURE. SIGNAL LIGHTS DO NOT BLINK WHEN THE DRIVER SEATBELT IS UNBUCKLED. UNRESTRAINED DRIVER DOES NOT HAVE ANY FUNCTIONAL TURN SIGNALS. TURN SIGNAL LEVER DEPRESSION OR ELEVATION HAS NO EFFECT ON EXTERNAL SIGNAL LIGHTS, INTERNAL ARROWS ON DASH OR RELAY BOX CLICKING. NO EXTERNAL BLINKERS, NO ILLUMINATING SIGNAL ARROWS WHICH USUALLY ILLUMINATE IN YOUR DASHBOARD CONSOLE WHEN THE SIGNAL LEVER IS DEPRESSED, NO SOUND (SIGNAL CLICKING) INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE SIGNAL LEVER DEPRESSED. THE SIGNALS FUNCTION NORMALLY WHEN THE DRIVER SEATBELT IS BUCKLED. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND HAS NEVER FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE VIEW HRSG HEATED MIRRORS CREATED A STRONG REFLECTION, WHICH IMPACTED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE CONTACT PLACED FELT OVER THE HEATING SYSTEM AS A INTERIM REMEDY TO PREVENT THE EXTENSIVE GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WITH TUNKHANNOCK AUTO MART: DODGE RAM CHRYSLER JEEP (509 JOSEPH HUNTER HIGHWAY, TUNKHANNOCK, PA 18657, (888) 338-0991). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RAMSEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1555 NJ-17, RAMSEY, NJ 07446, (201) 818-9600), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE SWERVED TOWARDS THE CONTACT'S LANE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE. AS A RESULT, THE OTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A WHITE SUBSTANCE ENTERED THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CRASH OCCURRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH, UPPER AND LOWER BACK PAINS, AND SHOULDER AND NECK PAINS. MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V523000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC), BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION. THE DEALER (MOSS BROTHERS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 1100 S E ST, SAN BERNARDINO, CA 92408, (909) 884-8255) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AND STATED THAT THEY DID NOT INSPECT COLLISION DAMAGES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH AND HAD NOT YET DIAGNOSED THE COLLISION DAMAGES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER (VICTORVILLE MOTORS, 14617 CIVIC DR, VICTORVILLE, CA 92394, (760) 733-8484) FOR OVER A MONTH WHILE WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER RESPONDED BY EMAIL, WHICH INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD SEND A TECHNICIAN TO THE DEALER TO INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2. *DT UPDATED 10/19/18*JB

WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALERSIP AND THEY SAID IF THE OIL IS LOW THERE IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND IS 3 MONTHS OLD. NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING EVER CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS A LITTLE LOW SO I ADDED A 1/2 A QUART. IN READING UP ON THIS VEHICLE IT SAYS IT BURNS QUITE A BIT OF OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE CAR BURNS THIS MUCH OIL AND THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN IF THE OIL IS A LITTLE BIT LOW. THIS IS MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING?

FRONT DISPLAY PANEL FLASHES OFF AND SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY BLACK THEN SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE STALLS. THEN A MULTITUDE OF SERVICE ALERTS GO ACROSS THE SCREEN AND THE DISPLAY SCREEN CONTINUES TO FLASH ON AND OFF. HAVE TO TRANSITION THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR. HAPPENS MORE WHEN CAR IS AT A STOP LIGHT.

REAR WHEEL MAKING GRINDING NOISE. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER ONE DAY AFTER PURCHASE AND DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR ROTOR SHIELDS

AFTER STOPPING AT INTERSECTIONS, ACCELERATED TO 30-35 MPH, THEN AS CAR STARTS TO SHIFT AT HIGHER SPEED, A CLUNK AND HESITATION IS HEARD AFTER AUTO SHIFTING .

AT AROUND 5000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "KNOWN" ISSUE AND TO COMPLAIN TO CHRYSLER. THEY CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS NEARLY 3 QUARTS LOW. THEY THEN GAVE ME THE OPTION TO JUST ADD OIL OR SINCE I WAS CLOSE TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE JUST TO HAVE THEM DO THAT. BOTH WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT I COME BACK ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE OIL ADDED, ALSO AT MY EXPENSE. I HAD THEM DO THE OIL CHANGE BUT LATER IN THE DAY IT WASN'T SITTING RIGHT WITH ME. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND ALSO A LEASE, THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND IF IT CAN'T THEN IT SURE AS HECK SHOULDN'T BE MY PROBLEM. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND THAT I COULD BLOW MY ENGINE IF I DON'T PAY ATTENTION. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER BUT I JUST WANTED OTHERS TO BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

UPON STARTING VEHICLE AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, VEHICLE HAS STARTED ROLLING IN REVERSE ON THE INCLINE EVENTHOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE SHIFT INDICATOR, THE "D" DRIVE POSITION INDICATOR HAS BEEN FLASHING AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGED, AND THE VEHICLE IS FREEWHEELING . PER DEALER, COMPUTER SHOWS NO INDICATION OF THE PROBLEM OR CODE INFORMATION ABOUT IT. RETURNED FRON DEALER SERVICE ON 09-01-2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 HOURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST THREE (3) OCCASIONS.

AT AROUND 5000 MILES MY JEEP WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. BROUGHT THE JEEP BACK AFTER 2000 MILES AND AGAIN IT WAS LOW (ABOUT 2 QUARTS). THE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED IT WAS BURNING OIL BUT WILL NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS WITHIN SPEC FOR CHRYSLER ( BURNING 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES).

1 UNABLE TO TURN THE RADIO VOLUME UP OR DOWN. TURNED CAR OFF AND ON. WOULD NOT TURN OFF ACCESSORY MODE. MESSAGE STATING CAR WAS ON. PICTURE TO BE PROVIDED. TURNED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED NEXT TIME I STARTED IT. 2 WHILE DRIVING ACCESSORY DEACTIVATED. WOULD NOT TURN ON. PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF HOURS AFTER LEAVING IT PARKED. PICTURE OF ERROR MESSAGE TO BE PROVIDED. 3 MY JEEP WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT A YELLOW LIGHT. STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSCETION, ALMOST A CRASH. RAINY WEATHER.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AS I'M DRIVING. PEDALS BECOME HARD AND LIGHTS / WARNINGS COME ON.

WHEN EVER I AM MOVING OVER 65MPH IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING GEAR FROM 9 TH TO 5TH GEAR. BECAUSE OF THAT THE VEHICLE MAKING FEARFUL SOUND AND SUDDEN RISE IN ENGINE RPM AND MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS, BECAUSE OF SUDDEN DOWNGRADING GEAR FROM 9 TO 5 THAT IS KIND OF UNEXPECTED AND UNCONTROLLABLE. I PURCHASED THE CAR VERY RECENTLY AND IT IS NOT MORE THAN 2 MONTHS AND LESSTHAN 3000 MILES SO FAR.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN SEPT. 2017. IT HAS ABOUT 12K MILES. RECENTLY WHEN I'M REVERSING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE BRAKES WILL SQUEAK PRETTY LOUD. HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYDAY. I WILL NOTE THIS DOESNT HAPPEN ON FLAT GROUND (MY DRIVEWAY IS AT A SLOPE)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE "GEAR SHIFT" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JOLTED FORWARD AND THEN DROPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PUENTE HILLS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (17280 GALE AVE, CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA 91748, (626) 513-0002), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,081.

CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. CHECKED CODES AFTERWARDS; SHOWS P0339 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT AND P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CAR ENGINE STOPS WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A UTILITY POLE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A LOWER BACK INJURY, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE RIEHL'S ROSEVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (25800 GRATIOT AVE, ROSEVILLE, MI 48066, 586-859-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,200.

THE AUTO START STOP HAS MALFUNCTIONED SO MANY TIMES NOW I'VE LOST COUNT. I'VE HAD THE JEEP FOR 6 MONTHS. IT STARTED THE FIRST WEEK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AND THE START/STOP ISSUE LIGHT DOES THE SAME. I'VE HAD IT IN AND THEY JUST CLEAR THE ERROR MESSAGES AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. VERY FRUSTRATING! THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND HAD DIFFICULTY COMING BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS!

I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. I WENT TO GIVE THE CAR GAS AND IT SPIT AND SPUTTERED. CARS IN THE NORTHBOUND LANE HAD TO TAKE THE GRAVEL OR THEY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. I TOUCHED THE GAS AND THEN THE GAS PEDAL STUCK. IT WAS 55MPH HWY AND I WAS ALREADY AT 65MPH. I WAS GOING TO RUN INTO THE TRAFFIC OR TAKE THE DITCH. I TRIED SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD NOT. I HIT THE GRAVEL AND PUT ON THE BRAKES. I FINALLY BROUGHT CAR TO A STOP. PUT CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO SHUT CAR OFF. IT WOULD NOT.WENT TO TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE AND THE RPM'S NEEDLE WAS BURIED. THE ENGINE WAS RACING. I PUSHED BOTH THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CAR FINALLY SHUT DOWN. THERE WERE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ON AN A! AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY SON IN LAW CAME TO PICK ME UP CAUSE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. WE LOOKED AT GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE. NOTHING SEEMED WRONG. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER 78 MILES AWAY. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. *TT *TR
