Consumer Description

I own 2 2018 Jeep Compasses and we have the same problem in both vehicles where the start/stop function malfunctions. It will either not work at all, or it randomly will cause our vehicles to stall, this happens more when our oil is low. The vehicles have stalled on me several times while driving in a public road with traffic behind me and almost caused me to crash. One Jeep has already been brought to a JEEP dealer (that charged us almost $100 to check for defects) and they said everything was fine. They do not acknowledge the problem nor do they try to fix it.
