Consumer Description

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!!**
