Consumer Description

MY 2019 JEEP COMPASS STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN SEPTEMBER 2020. IT SHUT OFF AT A RED LIGHT ON HIGHWAY 76 IN OCEANSIDE, CA WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. SHORTLY AFTER, IT STARTED BECOMING SLUGGISH WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND BACKING INTO THE STREET. SHIFTING BETWEEN PARK AND DRIVE IT STALLS, THE LIGHTS ON THE GEAR SHIFT HAVE SINCE GONE OUT. I HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE OR REGISTER MY VEHICLE SINCE OCT. 2020 BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. I MAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON TIME AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TO REPORT MY ISSUES HERE. MY 2019 JEEP COMPASS IS A PAPERWEIGHT AT THIS TIME.
