I parked my car somewhere between 1:00-1:30 pm came back out at 3:00 and opened my drivers side door to see the door panel caught fire it was extinguished when I open the door. Yes it can be inspected I could’ve been driving when it caught fire. It will be inspected by an insurance adjuster on Monday. No appearance of any problem prior to incident.

Was pulling into traffic and my car had a low oil pressure light come on and the car shut off almost got hit 3 days later the wiring system when crazy wouldn't let me shut the car off causing my car to over heat

My remote starter always has a problem. I turn it on it turns off. I have had the smart battery changed. There is always a notification stating pull over car will shut down soon. Then that activates the engine light to come on. Then the remote starter is deactivated. I turn off the car everything disappears like nothing happened a few minutes later I get the same notification pull over safely car will shut off soon.

On 3 separate occasions since we purchased the vehicle, the Start/Stop function, where it shuts down at a light or Stop sign, has failed to restart the vehicle upon pressing the gas pedal. We have had to have the vehicle towed for service each time, and they are now replacing the starter again after having replaced it and the fuse link, as well as battery issues related to the start/stop function. Each time, this has happened in intersection (stop light). We have almost been rear ended or hit because the vehicle is now impeding the flow of traffic and has to be put into neutral and pushed off the road, then towed, as it will not start back up without repair. We have always taken it to an official MOPAR/CDRJ service center for repair. It has less than 16,000 miles on it. There was no warning or indication this was...

When using the auto start/stop feature, the vehicle will stall at a stop once I attempt to move from a stop. It happens any time I use this feature, and I have to be sure to turn it off before driving. The most recent incident happened at a stop light, and morning traffic was behind me, causing a back up and potential wreck. We have replaced both batteries and it has not remedied the situation and at this point I am not feeling safe to drive my own vehicle.

The car stops in the middle of traffic and doesn’t restart for about 5 mins causing traffic stops. People have to go around me because the emergency brake won’t disengage. The car won’t start when it’s supposed to I called to get it repaired and they gave an appointment 2 months later. The car is just sitting.

While driving the engine will shut off completely, I’m unable to press the gas pedal to accelerate the vehicle and have to coast my vehicle to a place in order to shut off the vehicle and start it in order to continue driving.
#11437241 |
My car stalls and then stops at red lights or when stopping for a bit of time. When I accelerate it seems to hesitate and then stop. The brake engages and the engine stops. I cannot go at all. All of my dashboard lights, the radio, and anything else that was on at the time, like the A/C, still runs. I have to turn everything off. Wait about a minute and disengage the brake. I can press the ignition button and the car starts back. If I had to describe it, the car dies as soon as I accelerate after stopping at red lights or at stop signs. At first, I thought it was because I was stepping on the gas too soon after stopping but that is not the case. This is becoming an issue and it is extremely frightening and annoying

Since purchasing my vehicle the fuel saver feature has caused my car to stall at stop signs or red lights. I have taken it in many times for service for them to put a temporary update on the computer and say im good to go. Yet again this past weekend we go to stop at a red light, the fuel saver kicks on, and all of sudden the car stalls, warning messages start popping up stating engine service, transmission service, auto start/stop disabled, and the car starts rolling backwards as we were on a hill. Luckily we put our hazards on and turned the car off and back on and was then able to accelerate forward but the warning signs continue to show. To say this vehicle is going to kill someone is an understatement yet there are no active recalls for this vehicle. I have read countless articles on...

I have had several lights flash on my dash (I have videos) and car would not start without a jump start. I took it to a dealership that told me I needed two new batteries (needing these because the vehicle ruined the two I had). I took my vehicle to a battery store for them to install batteries, as soon as I left the pull over safely the car is going to shit down came on, on highway I finally found a place but not before the car started putting several warming lights on and check engine light on again, then lurching slowing to no acceleration and stopping in the middle of the road no power, none not even enough to power the door locks. This is the 3rd attempt at fixing this issue without any help from Chrysler that my Vin should be included in the U87 recall I...

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V524000 (Electrical System). The contact stated that while driving 25 - 30 MPH, and making a turn, the vehicle stalled. The low engine oil message was displayed. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer performed an oil consumption test and reprogrammed the powertrain control module (PCM). However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the oil level was near empty and that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the manufacturer would not cover the cost of repair since the vehicle was not under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

I purchased my vehicle in 2019 and had no issues aside from having to get my oil changed much more often than expected (not just by me, but by my servicing location). Just last month I went to turn my vehicle on for work, and the vehicle seemed to be turning on, but then stalled out. It read a message of “service electronic parking brake” and “service ESC system.” My husband managed to get it to turn on the next day and we took it into the dealership, but they could not replicate the incident and said no codes appeared and the vehicle was “fine”. Less than a week later, the same issue arose yet again and I worked around some technical way to be able to turn it on. It was an off and on issue. A couple of days ago when turning on the vehicle to go to...

My vehicle has nearly killed my entire family multiple times now, stalling out on the highway going 75 miles an hour, shutting off because I turned a corner, rarely starting and having to buy a jump box because my vehicle doesn't want to start due to have a bad PCM according to U87 recall that my VIN isn't included in. I have been lied to by your staff every single time I have called, I am hopeful to get the class action lawsuit that so many states have going on in Missouri as well. My vehicle is extremely dangerous and going to kill my family it will be your fault it, I will ensure that an attorney is well aware of the lack of empathy, the lack of action your company has done, and downright refusal to do the necessary repairs to make my vehicle safe.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled. Additionally, while driving around corners the vehicle stalled. The vehicle failed to start on several occasions. The contact purchased a jump box. The shift lever in park, emergency brake, auto start, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the vehicle needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA Campaign number: 18V524000 (Electrical System). The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer Gladstone Dodge Chrysler Jeep & Ram (5610 N Oak Traffic way, Gladstone, MO 64118) but vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 43,000.

In April my vehicle started stalling when I would turn the corner. Then it died when my son and I were going down the highway at full speed. It just stopped running I had no power to move anymore. Then it would not sure off so I could start it again, now it is hit or miss if it will start I had to buy a jump box so I could go to the store or work. Today the auto start light came on, I am in fear for my families safety. I have reported it to Chrysler multiple times, taken my vehicle to two different dealerships all refusing to help the second dealer refuses to look at it to determine what the issue could be without me paying them first. I am scare we are going to stall again in the highway and get killed. Please help.

About two years ago I noticed that my seat had a broken part. The power seat assembly had a broken place where it attaches to the actual seat. Finding the part to replace it is so expensive. I also purchased two new batteries running $400 plus from the dealership with the vehicle only being a few year old the batteries should last longer. The start stop on the car fails all the time and I barely am able to crank the car from the fob. Since purchasing this vehicle for $31,210. I am trying to reach the manufacture to see what they can do.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while approaching his driveway, when turning off the headlight and the ignition, he noticed the “Lights On’ message was illuminated however, the lights were off. The contact also stated on another occasion, while making a right turn, the vehicle seized. The contact stated while restarting the vehicle, the low oil pressure warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he continued to experience the failure while driving to his residence. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where he had an oil change performed but did not have the vehicle diagnosed. The mechanic was not informed about the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V670000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and 17V740000 (Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately...

I have a 2018 Jeep Compass with a 8.4" Uconnect Infotainment system. I have owned the car since new. The infotainment system screen has started to de-laminate after only 3yrs. This is something you usually see in screens much, much older. While researching the issue at several user sites, I have found that the de-lamination of the screen is quite common among, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep vehicles. I believe this is a defect in the build of the infotainment control head screen and, at minimum, the manufacturer should offer a one time repair to original owners, ans correct the defect in all future vehicles.
#11424473 |
The park rear view camera stops working for long periods of time. Sometimes it even freezes the whole screen on a black screen.

While driving the jeep shuts off and then all lighys come on that are on the dash board. The jeep cannot be restarted nothing works. We have taken it to a dealer more then 5 times in less then 5 months. We replaced both batteries and still had the same issue few days later. they updated pcm module and few days later jeep shut off so the dealer replaced the pcm module. Jeep still ended up shutting off a few different time dealer said battery cable lose and maybe low oil but oil was good. We have been told by dealer they do not know what the issue is even after having a star tech look at the jeep. June 5th 2021 jeep was picked back up from dealer an is sitting in driveway because all light on an jeep oeeps shutting off its unsafe to drive.

IN THESE INSTANCES I HAVE HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THEN POWER IT OFF AND RESTART IT AS THE QUICKEST FIX.

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE START/STOP FEATURE WAS ENGAGED. WHEN MY FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE BATTERY WAS NOT DEAD AS THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AS WELL AS MANY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN THREE YEARS THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. THE DIAGNOSES SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT EACH TIME, BUT ULTIMATELY I TAKE IT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE ON THE INTERSTATE. EVENTUALLY THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A...

THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL ALL START TO FLASH, CANNOT ACCELERATE CAR, CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AS BEST I CAN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR EATING UP OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE PROBLEM IS TEMPORARILY FIXED BY ADDING A QUART OF ENGINE OIL. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE IS NO 'LOW OIL' LIGHT THAT COMES ON. I HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND I FEEL STUCK WITH THIS LEMON. I ALSO HEAR A LOUD RATTLING COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, UNDER THE HOOD BUT CANNOT SEE ANYTHING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, IT CAUSED MY BATTERY TO COMPLETELY DIE. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE.

CAR NEEDED A NEW ENGINE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO FOR BURNING OIL. DURING THIS TIME I STALLED ON A BUSY ROAD AND SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME. LAST WEEK I WAS IN FLORIDA AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START, IT THEN STARTED SMOKING UNDERNEATH AND A SMALL FIRE WAS STARTED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND IS CURRENTLY STILL THERE WITH AN CHRYSLER ENGINEER COMING TO INSPECT WHAT HAPPENED. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE TEXT MESSAGE EXCHANGE WITH CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN FLORIDA TO DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. THE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OCCURRED ON 2/6/21. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT CHECKED BUT NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. ON 02/01/2021 THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START. I HAD A MECHANIC JUMP THE CAR OFF AND I LET IT IDLE TO BUILD UP THE BATTERY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THERE WAS A NOISE AND THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THEN FIRE!

MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS HAS HAD BOTH KEY FOBS DIE WITHIN 2 YEARS OF PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MOST CONCERNING THING IS THAT MY VEHICLE WILL START AND I CAN DRIVE AND THEN MY CAR WILL SAY 'KEY FOB NOT DETECTED' AND I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A GREAT FEATURE IF SOMEONE WHERE TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY WITH MY CAR, HOWEVER I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND I HAVE THEY KEYS INSIDE. THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS THAN THE SUMMER. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE WINTER COLD CAUSES THE BATTERY OF THE KEY FOB TO DRAIN OR NOT WORK PROPERLY. MY CAR WILL NOT START OR UNLOCK, THEN ONCE I AM ABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IT HAS A DIFFICULT TIME DETECTING THE KEY FOB (EVEN WHEN FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION MANUAL SHOT A DEAD FOB). THE VEHICLE WILL EVENTUALLY DETECT THE FOB AND...
