2018 JEEP COMPASS Engine Problems

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP COMPASS THAT I PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR IN FEBRUARY. LATER ON IN OCTOBER I STARTED GETTING A LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL MORE SPECIFICALLY IT WOULD SIGNAL WHENEVER I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A JEEP TECHNICIAN TURNS OUT IT WAS LEAKING OIL AND NEEDED A WHOLE ENGINE REPLACED (KEEP IN MIND 2018 VEHICLE). FAST FORWARD TO NOW (ONLY TWO MONTHS LATER) MY CAR STARTED SHAKING THEN PROGRESSIVELY WENT TO NOT EVEN TURNING ON AT ALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROAD THE SERV 4WD LIGHT TURNED ON. NOW IT'S BACK AT THE SHOP

WHEN MY VEHICLE HITS 47 MPH IT STARTS MAKING A VERY LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THE NOISE CONTINUES TO BE PERSISTENT UNTIL I SLOW DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP BUT JEEP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY SAY THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE SINCE EARLY 2018. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S DAMAGING MY VEHICLE BUT IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD.

BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. HAD TO GET NEW MOTOR. SECOND MOTOR IS BURNING OIL. GOING THROUGH SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. 2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH 11,500 MILES. STILL UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE CAN STOP WITHOUT WARNING, ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME.

FIRST MY RADIO CUTS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. SECOND, I'VE BEEN NOTICING MY OIL LIGHT COMING ON MANY TIMES. I CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE I'M PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR. 3 RD, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STRIP MALL WHEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC YET. MANY TIMES WHEN I START MY CAR AND START MOVING MY CAR STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE. EVERY 600-1000 MILES I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL. IT IS ALWAYS LOW AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE STALL PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2018 BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TROUBLE EVER SINCE I HIT 3000 MILES. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!

DURING COLD WEATHER/ AND RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, ENGINE WILL CUTOUT AND NOT RESTART. ALSO WHEN PARKED ENGINE WILL CRANK, BUT NOT START. EVEN IF YOU REPLACE BATTERY- DOES NOTHING. THIS IS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS COULD CAUSE LOTS OF WRECKS.

THE CAR WONT START. WHEN PRESING THE PUSHSTART BUTTON IT WONT WORK. MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAYS CAR NOT IN PARK AND WONT START NOR SHUT DOWN. NO WAY TO MOVE IT OR SHUTTING IT DOWN.

THE VEHICLE AT ANY KNOWN TIME GOES INTO THE PARKING BRAKE MODE AND STALLS! THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TWICE WE WERE ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL? THE OIL CHANGES WHICH SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ENTERTAINED HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. MY QUESTION SHOULD WE CHANGE THE OIL BEFORE OR AFTER THE SEVERITY OF THE ACCIDENT THAT CAN OCCUR DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. AND WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM.ARE YOU WAITING TILL SOMEONE DIES BEFORE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT? THAT WOULD SURELY SORE SALES? NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS IS GOING ON SO LONG.IT HAS OCCURRED ON THREE INCIDENTS NOW HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREET , IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

PURCHASED NEW COMPASS FROM BEST JEEP IN PLYMOUTH MA. AFTER FIRST OIL CHANGE, JUST BEFORE SECOND 13,000 MILES (STICKER SAYS TO GO EVERY 7,000 MILES) LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD. TOOK 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO SAFE ZONE, OIL DRIPPING WAS NOTICEABLE UNDER CAR AND I BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. GOT CAR BACK AND THEY NOTED NO OIL LEAK FOUND AND SAW SPILLED OIL AT FILLER SPOT. I PUT OIL IN THE CAR, THERE WAS NO OIL SPILLED AROUND THE FILLER. WHEN I LOOKED, DEALERSHIP HAD TAKEN, WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN OILY RAG, AND WIPED ALL AROUND THAT AREA. THEN TRIED TO BLAME ME. GOT CAR HOME, OIL WAS STILL DRIPPING. CALLED, MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. THEY THEN WROTE ON THE WORK ORDER "VERIFIED, SERVICE MANAGER DOCUMENTED OIL UNDER VEHICLE. THEY PUT DIE IN OIL, CLEANED UP PRESENT OIL ON OUTSIDE...

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CARE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WHEN TAKING A TURN, BUT MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SERVICE AUTO START STOP WILL COME ON AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE IN THE ROAD. WHEN WE TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE BOTH BATTERIES. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND ONE BATTERY, BUT WHY WOULD BOTH GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. IN RESEARCHING I SAW THAT THERE WAS VOLTAGE REGULATOR RECALL; HOWEVER, WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THIS DOES NOT INVOLVE OUR VIN. THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AROUND TOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE MADE A ROARING SOUND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN SIX MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DIFFERENT DEALERS EIGHT TIMES AND FOUR NEW DIFFERENTIALS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FIAT (2020 NIAGARA FALLS BLVD, TONAWANDA, NY 14150, (716) 616-3299) WHERE THE PTU AND ANOTHER UNKNOWN UPDATE WERE COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,425.

ENGINE OIL CHECKED LOW 3,000 MILES AFTER LAST OIL CHANGE. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH MULTIPLE ONLINE REPORTS OF THESE VEHICLES BURNING OIL RAPIDLY. OTHER REPORTS STATE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE TRAVELING WITH NO WARNING INDICATIONS AND THE DIPSTICK REGISTERS NO ENGINE OIL.

I PURCHASED MY JEEP COMPASS NEW. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, I HAVE TAKEN MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR REPAIR DUE TO LOSS OF OIL SEVERAL TIMES. THE LOSS OF OIL WAS FIRST NOTICED BEFORE THE FIRST 2,000 MILES ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED ON ME ON WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH OTHER LIGHTS. IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE IT DID START BACK UP EVENTUALLY. WHEN IT DID, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THE WHOLE TIME. RECENTLY, (11/16/19), WHILE DRIVING THE WHOLE CAR SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKES LOCK UP. THE CAR WILL NOT BUDGE. IN THIS INSTANCE THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING...

PURCHASED AT THE DEALERSHIP @ 5K..ENGINE STALLED @ 18K MILES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.. CHECKED AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON STICK.. HAD TO BUY OIL TWICE JUST TO TAKE MY JEEP TO BE SERVICED AND HAVE AN 'OIL CONSUMPTION TEST' PERFORMED MULTIPLE TIMES, WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE.. 11K MILES LATER..'SERVICE ENGINE,' 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION,' FLASHES ON DASH. NO OIL ON STICK WITHIN 400 MILES OF NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE.. ENGINE WON'T TURNOVER/START. STRANDED WITH <30K MILES & HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE A YEAR.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I DROVE AND TURNED RIGHT. AFTER ABOUT 10 YARDS, MY CAR STALLED JUST AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME, OR I WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN HIT. THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE, SO I KNEW THE PROCESS: PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK, TURN OFF THE EMERGENCY BREAK, TURN OFF THE CAR, TURN ON THE CAR, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THIS SEQUENCE SEEMED TO WORK, BUT MY CAR SHOULD NEVER STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT IS SCARY AND UNSAFE.

CAR STALLS RANDOMLY IF OIL IS LOW ... ON HIGHWAYS, AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE TURNING OR AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN VEHICLE ONLY HAD 3000 MILES. BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL QUICKLY AND WHEN IT IS LOW IT STALLS. THIS WAS A 17 BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS BEFORE WE FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL BACK AND JERK AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. CONTINUED FOR A FEW MILES TO JEEP DEALER WHICH HAPPENED TO BE ON THAT HIGHWAY. THE TECHNICIANS EXPLAINED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION THE VEHICLE RESTRICTS THE SPEED BY PULLING BACK WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY CODE THAT INDICATE A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2019, MY WIFE DROVE OUR 2018 JEEP COMPASS ON A LOCAL STREET, WITHIN MINUTES, THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN SHUT OFF. BEFORE THE CAR SHUT OFF, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, THE CAR DID NOT TURN BACK ON. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE CAR TURNED BACK ON.

I BOUGHT MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FEBRUARY 2019. IN JULY 2019 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 2 DAUGHTERS THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTERS TO VISIT FAMILY ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN. THE OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME BACK ON AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO LARSON DODGE AND JEEP DEALER IN PUYALLUP, WA. I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE JEEP COMPASS HAS A PROBLEM WITH OIL EVAPORATING AND THEY WOULD CHANGE THE OIL....

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE, VARYING ISSUES WITH MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS SINCE I BEGAN LEASING THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2018. IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO ALONE, THE CAR HAS HAD THE UCONNECT SYSTEM REPLACED OR FIXED 4 TIMES, THE BRAKES WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED, IT BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF OIL AT 6,000 MILES, AND NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I LEFT MY HOUSE AND DROVE ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AS I WENT TO PROCEED ONTO AN EXTREMELY BUSY ROAD MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT WOULDNT MOVE AND TOLD ME TO SHIFT GEARS THEN PRESS THE BRAKE AND START BOTTON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WOULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. IT TOOK BETWEEN 5-7 MINUTES TO FINALLY START RUNNING, BUT GAVE NO INDICATION OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A MILE TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUE, BUT WAS MOMENTARILY IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND A WEBSITE CONTAINING OF HUNDREDS OF RECENT COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. JEEPS SOLUTION HAS BEEN THAT THE CARS ARE IN NEED OF OIL CHANGES, BUT YET FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS, NO OIL WARNING LIGHT IS EVEN...

CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 12 TIMES THE PAST 2 YEARS. I NOTICED STARTED AFTER 6K. MY OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE AND I KEEP UP WITH ALL THE OIL CHANGES ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A LEASE AND IS FREE WITH WHO I LEASE IT THROUGH, ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE 4 CHILDREN!!!!! ALSO SOUNDS A HARD KNOCKING SOUNDS WHILE ACCELERATING AS IT SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND JERKING OF THE ENTIRE CAR FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM ON MY BRAKES AS IT ALMOST CAUSED HUGE ACCIDENT AND NOT TO MENTION SHAKES ME AND MY CHILDREN UP EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS. WHY AREN'T THERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS IF THERE ARE SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS?*DT CONSUMER STATED I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN ANOTHER 1K SO I WILL PROVIDE FOLLOW UP. HE SAID I'M BURNING A LITTLE MORE THAN NORMAL SO THAT'S WHY THE...

PROBLEMAS CON EL CHECK ENGINE SE ENCIENDE LA LUZ DEL PANEL Y LA LUZ DE LA TRANSMISIN

SAME ISSUE 2X NOW AND FEEL MY LIFE AND OTHERS ARE JEOPARDIZED. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY COMING TO A RED LIGHT SLOWING DOWN FOR THE LIGHT TO THEN TURN GREEN WHILE PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR STALLED, SHUT DOWN AND EMERGENCY BRAKE TURNED ON, NOTHING WOULD WORK. I COULD NOT DISENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO EVEN MOVE THE CAR OFF THE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS NEARLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE FIRST INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I SAID SO WHILE I'M DRIVING, GETTING ON A HIGHWAY 1.5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING MY HOME MY CAR WILL JUST SHUT DOWN? THE ANSWER WAS YES! UNACCEPTABLE!! HOW ABOUT THE CAR NOT TURNING ON DUE TO LOW OIL OR THINGS OF SUCH INSTEAD OF THE CAR TURNING ON AND ALLOWING YOU TO DRIVE ENOUGH TO GET UP TO 50...

IT HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON BY ITSELF. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON THE ONE TIME IT SHUT DOWN ON ME MID TURN. WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR LOW OIL PRESSURE. IT USUALLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE GOING 25 TO 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET BUT HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE MERGING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND MAKING A TURN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION IN CHICAGO MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT APPEARS TO BE ON, BUT I CANNOT ACCELERATE. I TURN THE CAR OFF, THERE'S A STALL BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY RESTARTS. NO LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AT ALL. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY COMES BACK ON, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ACTIVATED AND IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. I AM NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 2K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ACTIVATED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND DRIVEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEDARD BROS. CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (452 S STATE RD, CHESHIRE, MA 01225, (413) 743-0014) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW, WHICH WAS COMMON WITH THE 2.5 L FIAT ENGINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP, CHECK ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION, SERVICE ENGINE SOON ALL LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WILL NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AT 5,000 MILES. THE ERROR CODES ARE: P3506 AND P2AF5: CYLINDER MISFIRE FAULT DETECTED, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, SENSOR REFERENCE VOLATAGE CIRCUIT LOW, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT 1 LOW. THE VEHICLE IS 16 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 7,000 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES, THE LAST 3 YESTERDAY. ALL CITY DRIVING, ONCE IN THE DRIVEWAY. SOMETIMES VEHICLE WON'T TURN OFF, BUT YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD. IF YOU WAIT ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES, ALL RETURNS TO NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EVENT. MAYBE IN A WEEK, MAYBE IN 5 MINUTES.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON. VERY DANGEROUS, WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. BEDDERS BROTHERS HAS TOLD ME IT'S DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE AND IS COMMON WITH THESE VEHICLES. I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE OR ANYONE ELSE DRIVING IT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR A RESOLUTION OR RECALL?

I LEASE MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS. ON FOUR OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS STALLED AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE. TWO OF THE STALLING HAS BEEN IN TRAFFIC WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION (HIGHWAY AND INTERSECTION). EVERYTIME I TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT DID STALL AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP SO I LEFT IT AGAIN. ON ALL THE OCCASIONS DEALER HAD A LOOK THEY SAID IT WAS A PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED, THEN A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEN SAYING THEY LEFT TOO MUCH CLEANER. JUST LAST WEEK I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL TANK. I DROVE 100 MILES MILES AND THE FUEL INDICATOR DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. I KNOW WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS I HAVE A TOTAL RANGE OF 326 MILES. THEN THE TOTAL RANGE NUMBER KEPT FLUCTUATING. AT ONE POINT IT SAID...

I EXITED THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR MORNING TRAFFIC. MY JEEP STOPPED ALL THE SUDDEN. THE ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT DIDN'T KEEP ROLLING OR LET ME GET OUT OF THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. I SAT THERE FOR TEN MINUTES WITH CAR HONKING AND SWERVING AROUND ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THESE CARS (JEEP COMPASS) ARE NOTORIOUSLY BAD ABOUT STALLING OUT BECAUSE THEY BURN OIL QUICKLY AND THE OIL LIGHT WON'T COME ON. THEY TOLD ME TO CONSTANTLY CHECK MY OIL. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD IT ABOUT A YEAR A HALF. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME 'YES. THESE 2.4 LITER ENGINES BURN OIL TOO QUICKLY. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE JEEP WILL CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD...

MY CAR'S LIGHT TO HAVE IT'S OIL CHANGED TURNED ON, THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN. HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE SHOP. WAS TOLD I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL SO THEY REFILLED THE TANK AND TOLD ME THIS WAS MY FAULT- WITHIN 1000 MILES MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT QUICKLY TURNED ON AND OFF AND MY ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN WHILE I WAS TURNING. TOOK CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SAID I WAS AGAIN OUT OF OIL - I INSISTED THEY LOOK DEEPER SINCE I FOUND NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED MY ENGINE WAS OVERLY CONSUMING THE OIL AND AN ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY.*DT*JB

A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT JUST STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE MY 16 YO WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CITY STREET. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL US. WE DRIVE 40 MIN TO WHERE SHE WAS AND THE CAR STARTED UP. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT UPDATED A FEW COMPUTER THINGS. WITHIN A FEW DAYS IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO MY DAUGHTER AS THIS IS HER CAR. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE CAR IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING EVERY 1,000 MILES AND I KNOW THAT BETWEEN THE 2,000-3,000 MILE POINT THE OIL IS BELOW THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH COUNTY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (455 AUTOMALL DR, GILROY, CA 95020, 408-842-8244) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL FREQUENTLY. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE SAME DEALER PROVIDED THE CONTACT'S WIFE THE SAME INFORMATION AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,708.

MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN BUSY IN TOWN TRAFFIC ALL DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE THE OIL TOPPED OFF BECAUSE MY DIPSTICK IS SHOWING NO OIL. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 500 MILES. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DOVER DODGE JEEP (396 RT. 46 EAST, ROCKAWAY, NJ) WHO INDICATED THAT NO OIL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT FOUR QUARTS OF OIL WERE ADDED TO THE ENGINE APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ADD ONE QUART OF OIL TO THE ENGINE EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE EATS OIL WAY TO MUCH AROUND 709 MILES IT WILL START TO ROUGHLY IDLE AND WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVELS IT'S 2 QUARTS LOW. I CAN ALSO BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WILL JERK WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED THRUSTING ME FORWARD LIKE IT'S HAVING TROUBLE.

THE 2.4 ENGINE IN THE 2018 COMPASS IS USING OIL AT A VERY HIGH RATE. IN THE FIRST 3200 MILES OUR JEEP USED 3.5 QUARTS OF OIL. THE OIL GOT SO LOW THAT THE CAR STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY ON MY WIFE. THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE OIL GET LOW AND THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE DEALER WHO REFERRED ME TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE. I SPOKE WITH A PERSON THERE WHO ADVISED THAT A QUART OF OIL IN A 1000 MILES WAS ACCEPTABLE. I ADVIES HER THAT A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE USING ANY OIL. CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4 ENGINE AND THEIR ANSWER IS " WE WILL PUT YOU ON A OIL CHANGE PROGRAM"> I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER THAT IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP COMPASS,...

SHORTLY AFTER MOVING THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON. VEHICLE JUST HIT 7000 MILES COMPLICATIONS STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT HAS HAPPENED 5X NOW

MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS RAN OUT OF OIL. OIL PLUG IS IN TACT AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S LEAKING AROUND THE OIL PUMP RIGHT BEHIND THE ALTERNATOR. YESTERDAY IT WAS FINE THIS MORNING STARTED IT PULLED OUT AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY.

NARRATIVE: IN AUGUST 2019, I WAS DRIVING FROM MY HOME TOWARD THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS LOST POWER. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE SO I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHIFTED INTO PARK. (LUCKILY, I HAD NOT REACHED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS NOT IN DANGER OF BEING REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION!) I NOTICED THE PARKING BRAKE HAD ENGAGED AND I COULD NOT RELEASE IT. THE LOW OIL LIGHT THEN FLASHED ON. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. THE D BUTTON WAS FLASHING, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN GEAR. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON TWICE MORE UNTIL IT FINALLY ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I ATTEMPTED A K-TURN IN A DRIVEWAY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY HOME, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN,...

THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS ENGINES HAVE AN UNRESOLVABLE DEFECT CAUSING THE OIL TO BURN AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE VEHICLE REQUIRES SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH WOULD NORMALLY GIVE YOU 5,000 DRIVABLE MILES OR 5 MONTHS BEFORE HAVING TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER ONLY 2,000 MILES, WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP COMPASS, IT SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO DO WAS COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND BRAKE. ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN DID A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COME ON. I NEVER WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IF I KNEW THAT THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. ABSOLUTELY ZERO WARNING...NO OIL WARNING LIGHT, NO MESSAGE, NO SYMBOL, NOTHING. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK, JUST SHY OF 3 MONTHS AFTER MY LAST...

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018, WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT HAD BURNED ALL OIL WITH ONLY 4K MILES USAGE. AFTER AN OIL CHANGE, ALL OIL WAS BURNED AGAIN WITHIN 3 WEEKS. IN MAY TOOK IT FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE, ONCE AGAIN DANGEROUSLY LOW. WITHIN 2 MONTHS (8K MILES) RECEIVED MULTIPLE OIL PRESSURE ALERTS AND CONTACTED DEALERSHIP TO START OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. DEALERSHIP JUST CHANGED OIL AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IN 1000 MILES. CURRENTLY ONLY 3 WEEKS LATER AND CONTINUING TO RECEIVE NEW OIL PRESSURE ALERTS AND UPON CHECKING OIL LEVELS, IT'S BURNED 3 QTS AND IS DANGEROUSLY LOW AGAIN. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOP OFF FLUIDS, WHILE USING MY FREE OIL CHANGES WITH MY JEEP WAVE PROGRAM TO CHANGE OIL/ TOP OFF FLUIDS. CURRENT MILEAGE 8863K .

I BOUGHT A NEW 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FEBRUARY 2019. WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED AT A SERVICE CENTER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE HAD BURNED THROUGH ALL OF THE OIL. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY JEEP DEALER AND STARTED A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. IN THE TEST I BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL IN 2024 MILES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN DUE TO LOW OIL OR RUINING THE ENGINE.*DT *AS

BUYERS PLEASE BE AWARE. AESTHETICALLY THIS VEHICLE IS AWESOME. HOWEVER, IT IS HIGHLY CONCERNING WHEN A VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD HAS MASSIVE SYSTEM FAILURES.. MY ISSUES WITH THE JEEP COMPASS TRAILHAWK IS RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING. ALL SYSTEMS WOULD BE COMPLETELY DEAD. WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOD NEVER START BACK UP. WHAT MAKES MATTERS WORSE IS THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM IS DEAD THERE IS NO POWER NO LIGHTS AND I AM UNABLE TO EVEN STEER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. YESTERDAY WAS THE FINAL STRAW FOR ME . I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR MADE A FUNNY JERKING SOUND AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH OTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING AT LEAST 60 TO 75 MPH. I...
