NHTSA Complaint #11364860 — 2018 JEEP COMPASS

TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO JERK WHICH THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP WITH THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT SAYING IT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. ONCE THAT APPEARED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IT STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE EVERYONE IS DRIVING 65 MPH AND IT GAVE ME NO TIME TO MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. ONCE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT JERKED AND THE POWER ON THE CAR WENT OFF, SO IT PUT IT ON EMERGENCY BRAKES AND SAID TO STEP ON BRAKE AND PUSH START. I TURNED THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, SO I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH CAUTION BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL THERE. I DROVE FOR A MILE AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT MESSAGE POPPED UP AGAIN, WHICH THEN CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO JERK AND STALL AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT PUT IT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LET THE CAR COOL DOWN SO I TURNED IT COMPLETELY OFF AGAIN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST THIS HAS HAPPENED. ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE MECHANICS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHERS DRIVING AROUND ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR BECAUSE RANDOM THINGS APPEAR AND CAUSE THE CAR TO FAIL WHILE IN DRIVING. THERE WAS NO MESSAGE OR WARNING ABOUT ANYTHING.
