Consumer Description
I'M HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY 2015 JEEP COMPASS (50,000 MILES) NOT ONLY THAT, THE DEALERSHIP HAS EITHER NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT OR THEY DON'T WANT TO. IF I DIED, MY SON WOULD BE ORPHANED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING MY ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN. MY CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF, IT JUST WON'T DRIVE ANYMORE . THE ONLY LIGHT THAT COMES ON IS THE ESC ACTIVATION/MALFUNCTION. I HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO. IT HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 10 TIMES NOW. I NEARLY GOT INTO A ACCIDENT TRYING TO TURN LEFT, AND AGAIN MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN AND I CAN PUT THE GAS PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN, IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE. NO RPMS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SCANNED FOUR TIMES AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED. I'VE BEEN A RENTAL CAR FOR THREE DAYS NOW. THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. AND THEY SAY THEY NEED TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO FIX IT. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.
