Consumer Description
I have a 2018 Jeep Compass with 22k miles. The touch screen panel is delaminating, it started in June at the top of the screen and has already moved almost halfway down the screen. It’s causing “ghost touches”. The radio station changes on its own, the thermostat and seat heaters are turning off and on. It’s distracting while driving. The headlights intermittently stopped working about a month ago, one headlamp will work, the other won’t, then they will alternate, then neither will work. I normally keep the headlights on auto. I switched the dial to every setting, tried engaging high beams and nothing. I tried power cycling the car and no change. At one point no lights would come on, fog, parking or running lights. I had to drive home on the highway and backroads with no lights at night. I don’t know if the lights are going to work when I have to drive at night. I can’t see the roads in poorly lit areas, other cars can’t see me and when they do they flash their high beams at me which is distracting. It took me a month to get an appointment with the dealer but they were unable to look at my car the day of service due to staffing issues. I had to reschedule for another day another 2 weeks away. I feel like this is an accident waiting to happen. Overall the Jeep has always had bugs, but nothing like the screen and headlights.
