2018 JEEP COMPASS Engine Problems

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHEN STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE HIGHWAY IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC. IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE JEEP DEALER TELLS ME THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE 2018 AND AVE 11,800 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAVE HAD 3 OIL CHANGES, DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE STOPPED.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY 180. THE VEHICLES SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, TRANSMISSION LIGHT, ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, AND SERVICE HILL HOLDER TURNED ON. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOLDER. I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE OIL AND BOTH WERE GOOD. I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON DRIVE AND THE ELECTRONIC PARKING LIGHT CAME ON AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE FROM GOING ON DRIVE. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR THE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SERVICE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF THE BRAKE STILL WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS ON. I WAS GOING TO SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE WHEN IT MADE A STRONG POPPING AND SCREECHING SOUND ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN PLACED ON REVERSE. I MOVED IT TO DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAMETHING. I TRIED GIVING IT GAS AND THE D FOR DRIVE WOULD JUST BLINK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAITED 30 MINUTES AND TRIED MOVING IT BUT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO HER NEIGHBORHOOD, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST CAROLINA DODGE JEEP RAM (3401 S MEMORIAL DR, GREENVILLE, NC 27834, (888) 848-5262) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STOP/START SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A NEW SENSOR WAS INSTALLED;. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,079. *DT *TR

CAR IS BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST. IT HAS STALLED ON ME (WITHOUT WARNING) 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS DUE TO LOW OIL. TOOK TO DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD TO JUST GET AN OIL CHANGE-THEY REFUSE TO CHECK ANYTHING ELSE AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE COMPASS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES ON A CAR USING SYNTHETIC OIL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN A VEHICLE THAT COULD SHUT OFF AT ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENED AT 8100 MILES.

4800 MILES MADE MONTH FOLLOW UP OVER NEXT WEEK TRIED TO TURN OFF STOP/START FEATURE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS MPG. . I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COINCIDENCE NOT THE ISSUE BUT MY CAR STARTED SHUTTING OFF 2/3 INTO TURN, GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, COUPLE TIMES SLOWING DOWN FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT NOT AT A STOP AND DIDN'T WANT TO RESTART. DAY OF CAR FOLLOW UP 3 TIMES TURNING RIGHT IT DIES AND LOW OIL PRESSURE FLICKED ON FOR ABOUT A SECOND. WAS TOLD NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THEN TODAY TOLD CHRYSLER ENGINEERS SAID NO ITS SOMETHING WITH NEW CAR AND SOLVENT CAUSING OIL ISSUE IT WAS TOO LOW BUT NOT LEAKING OUT/ I'M TOLD THEY WILL CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION EVERY 1000 MILES AND STAND BY PRODUCT, LOCAL DEALER SAID COME BACK AT 500 MILES. WHAT IF IT DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. BEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (520 COLONY PL, PLYMOUTH, MA 02360) STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY THREE WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO TURN AND THE JEEP TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT TOOK ME A MINUTE FOR IT TO START AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE JEEP DID THE SAME THING. I'M LUCKY THAT THERE WAS AN AREA FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO COAST INTO ON THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD OR I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE JEEP. I HAD 1K MILES LEFT TO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND GET MY OIL CHANGED ALWAYS BEFORE 5K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THESE JEEPS BURN OIL FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD AND I SHOULD BUY SYNTHETIC OIL TO CARRY IN THE JEEP AND CHECK MY OIL EVERY COUPLE OF HUNDRED MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLUTION, AS I WOULDN'T HAVE...

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP COMPASSM WITH LESS THAN 5K MILES, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH WITHOUT WARNING AND LOCKED THE STEERING AND EVERYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND WITHOUT HESITATION, THEY KNEW THAT IT NEEDED A BRAND NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THE CAR "SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL THIS QUICKLY." THEY MADE IT SEEM AS THOUGH THIS OCCURS EXTREMELY FREQUENTLY AND I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE JUST BY LOOKING UP "JEEP COMPASS BURNING OIL." THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER TOLD HIM RINGS AND PISTONS IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE OLD ENGINE WAS BURNING A CRAZY AMOUNT OF OIL ENGINE WAS BURNING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL, DEALER HINTED THAT A RECALL MAY HAPPEN BECAUSE HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM WAS.*JB

THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. SLOWING TO STOP AT A LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN ON SIDE STREET NO TRAFFIC. TURN WITH ACCELERATION OFF A HEAVY CONGESTED AREA TO SIDE ROAD. NO ACCIDENT TO REPORT, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ONE AT THE BUSIEST INTERSECTION IN TOWN. THE 3RD INCIDENT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT READ AND CODE P2172 IS THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM. ALL 3 TIMES WERE WITHIN 8 DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT WAITED A FEW SECONDS, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRYSTAL LAKE JEEP DODGE CHRYSLER RAM (5404 S ILLINOIS RTE 31, CRYSTAL LAKE, IL 60012, (815) 459-9000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT A QUART OF OIL HAD BEEN BURNED OFF SINCE THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE BURNING OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOLLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF CHELSEA (1500 S MAIN ST, CHELSEA, MI 48118), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN MY BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP COMPASS STALLED OUT. I HAD TO QUICKLY DRIFT TO SAFETY AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I TOOK ABOUT A MINUTE TO START AGAIN. AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ALL WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT USUALLY MEANS IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD CHECK THE OIL EVERY 500 TO 1000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THE CAR TAKES OIL AND SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ABOUT 5,000 MILES. NEVER ONCE DID I RECEIVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLES. *DT *DT*JB

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AMIDST TRAFFIC, IN INTERSECTIONS, AND ONCE ON A FREEWAY. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS BRAKING TO STOP AT AN OFF RAMP OF AN INTERSTATE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TURNING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS IN MOTION ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. IN ALL THESE INSTANCES I RECEIVED ALERTS THAT MY AUTO START NEEDED SERVICING EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP JUST LOOKED AT IT AND CLEARED THE ERROR/CODE. IT WAS A MIRACLE I WASN'T HIT WHEN THESE EVENTS OCCURRED. THE EVENT HAPPENS IN THIS ORDER: GAS PEDAL STOPS WORKING, SO THE CAR BEGINS TO COAST BUT CANNOT ACCELERATE. ALL THE ENGINEER WARNING LIGHTS POP UP AT ONCE. CAR BEGINS TO BEEP (I ASSUME BECAUSE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS), STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, PREVENTING YOU...

I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES, HOWEVER, ON TWO OCCASIONS THEY SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT MY OIL IS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT. I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY CAR SERVICES AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR APPEARS TO BE CONSUMING RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHY. THE JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO COME BACK TO GET ANOTHER OIL CHANGE. I'M GOING THROUGH SEVERAL QUARTERS FULL SYNTHETIC QUARTS EVERY THOUSAND OR SO MILES. THE VEHICLE IS NOT LEAKING OIL ANYWHERE; AS I PARK IN THE SAME SPOTS AT WORK AND AT HOME AND HAVE SEEN NOTHING LEAKING. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A *SEPARATE AND UNRELATED ISSUE* TO THE ELECTRONIC ISSUES THAT ARE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT NOTICE, WHILE IN MOTION.

VEHICLE STALLED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ON TWO DIFFERENT DATES, TWICE WHILE YIELDING TO INTERSTATE RAMP, ONCE WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND ONCE WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET.. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK TO RESTART AND DID NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY, ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AND FAILED TURNOVER. REPORTED STALLS OCCURRED IN VARYIED TEMPERATURES. VEHICLE IS 4 MONTHS OLD.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE IN MOTION, WE EXPERIENCED THIS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WE ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, LUCKILY THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL AROUND US HONKING HIS HORN THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. I CALLED JEEP/ CHRYSLER CORPORATE TO EXPRESS THE SAFETY CONCERNS AND THEY ADVISED THAT "THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW TO PROTECT ITSELF". I REPLIED THAT THE VALUE OF AN ENGINE DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR OTHER MOTORIST. THE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE ISSUE BACK TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION ON THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINES, THEY CLAIM THAT THROUGH THEIR OWN GUIDELINES IT IS OK FOR THE JEEP COMPASS TO BURN 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 2,000 MILES (SEEMS HIGH). THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH OIL AT AN...

AFTER STARTING CAR AND DRIVING FOR 2 MINUTES EMERGENCY BREAK ENGAGES AND CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION, UPON TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING WHILE TURNING RIGHT THE LOW PRESSURE SENSOR APPEARS THEN DISAPPEARS AND SERVICE ENGINE WARNING COMES ON CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING AFTER THE ALARM DISAPPEARS OFF DASH. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS. IT ALSO OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR GOT TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP.

I BOUGHT THE COMPASS WITH 136 MILES ON IT. AROUND THE 4500 MILE MARK MY JEEP DIED AS I WAS ACCELERATING ON A STRAIGHT, 25 MPH STREET SEGMENT AFTER MAKING A TURN 30 FEET PRIOR. AFTER BRINGING THE JEEP IN IMMEDIATELY FOR SERVICE, THE TECHNICIANS FOUND NOTHING WRONG. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY ROAD. A LOG TRUCK WAS COMING BUT I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OUT AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT CREATING A NEED FOR THE LOG TRUCK TO BRAKE. AS I BEGAN TO PULL OUT, MY JEEP DIED WITH THE NOSE SLIGHTLY INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT FOLLOWED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE JEEP STARTED AFTER A MINUTE AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE SERVICE CENTER. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO LOW OIL AND THAT IT WAS AN ENGINE PROTECTION FEATURE. HEY JEEP/CHRYLSER...HOW IS AN ENGINE...

ENCIENDO EL VEHCULO PERO CUANDO ME QUEDO DENTRO DEL MISMO ENCENDIDO Y CON AIRE ACONDICIONADO ENCENDIDO POR LO MENOS 20MINUTOS SE ENCIENDE LUZ DEL MOTOR Y TRANSMISIN INDICANDO TIENE QUE SER VERIFICADO, PROCEDO APAGAR EL VEHCULO POR 2HRS Y AL ENCENDERLO NUEVAMENTE YA NO LO TIENE PERO AVECES PUEDE SALIR CORRIENDO EL VEHCULO Y EL CAMBIO SE QUEDA EN 3D NUNCA BAJA Y NO PASA DE 40MPH

I'VE OWNED A 2018 JEEP COMPASS FOR 2 MONTHS I BOUGHT IT WITH LESS THAN 50 MILES ON IT. AT 3500 MILES THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF RANDOMLY. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE JEEP IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAUSE OF THIS IS THE JEEP CONSUMES OIL AG A RATE OF A QUART PER 1000 MILES AND THE JEEP IS INSTALLED WITH A FAIL SAFE THAT KILLS THE MOTOR SO IT DOESN'T HARM THE MOTOR BUT WILL LEAVE YOU STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO RESTART THE CAR IS TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT.THERE IS NO LOW OIL WARNINGS OR OIL CHANGE INDICATORS. THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE IS 5000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, MY CAR SHUT OFF INSTANTLY, NO WARNING. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR THAT A CAR WAS NOT DRIVING BEHIND ME! MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW. CAR ONLY HAS, 2,840 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT THE CAR NEW ON, 6/30/2018, WITH ONLY, 28 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS EMPTY AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. HE SAID THIS IS HAPPENING WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHER JEEP/DODGE VEHICLES WITH THIS MOTOR. THE MECHANIC DID AN OIL CHANGE AND STATED TO BRING THE CAR BACK AFTER 500 MILES TO CHECK THE OIL AGAIN. HE STATED IF THE OIL LOST HAPPENS AGAIN, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I THINK THIS IS ABSURD FOR A NEW...

THE VEHICLE HAS 1700 MILES AND STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. TOOK 15 MIN FOR IT TO START BACK UP. THE FIRST TIME WITH 300 MILES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE BATTERIES WERE BAD. *BF CONSUMER VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AND WAS TOWED. THE FIRST WAS DUE TO PRIMARY AND AUXILLARY FAILING AND PRIMARY BATTERY TERMINAL WAS NOT SECURED TO THE LEAD. BOTH BATTERIES WERE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME IT STALLED WAS DUE TO STARTER AND ALTERNATOR CABLES AT THE BATTERY FUSE BLOCKED OVERTIGHTENED WHICH CAUSED DAMAGED TO BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL. FUSE BLOC WAS REPLACED ALSO DURING BOTH INCIDENTS, STEERING WHEEL WAS INORPERABLE.*JB

I PURCHASED A A BRAND NEW JEEP COMPASS AND 12 DAYS LATER IT WENT HAYWIRE. I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 20-35MPH. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND MPG ON SPEEDOMETER READ 99MPH THEN SKIPPED TO11MPH AND I WAS PRACTICALLY AT A STAND STILL. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE VIDEO OF THIS. THE NEXT DAY THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND I FIGURED I'D TAKE IT IN THE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY (MONDAY). WELL I DIDNT MAKE IT TO MONDAY. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SUNDAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME THEN WHIILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A MESSAGE ACROSS THE DIGITAL DASH STATING, "PLEASE PULL TO SAFETY, VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN SOON". THEN EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO SHOW WEIRD NUMBERS. IT LOOKED LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE THERE WERE SO MANY LIGHTS. THAT...

"TAKATA RECALL" EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL, THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IN MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IS I'M CHANGING MY OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND BEFORE I REACH THE 3 000 MILES I HAVE TO BUY 2 QUARTS OF OIL, AND I'M USING 100% SYNTHETIC OIL. MY MILEAGE IS 8230.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THE START BUTTON HAD TO BE PRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SOLOMON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE CARMICHAELS (2605 EAST ROY FURMAN HIGHWAY, CARMICHAELS, PA 15320, (724) 966-2600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED BECAUSE OF THE LOW OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

NEW JEEP WOULDN'T START WITH 1700 MILES ON IT.FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD.WHILE ON THE ROAD CAR DASHBOARD SAID" FAILURE,VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF , GO TO A SAFE PLACE" IT DIED AND AT LEAST I MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT. TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE! HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER.I HAVE HAD IT ONE MONTH. DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY BE AN OIL MODULE PROBLEM THAT IS RECURRING AND IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING! SO MUCH FOR BUYING A "SAFE" NEW CAR. I AM DISGUSTED. THEY TOLD ME TO REPORT IT TO CHRYSLER. THEY SEE THIS HAPPENING A LOT! WHY NOT INFORM CONSUMERS BEFORE PURCHASE? I AM AFRAID TO EVEN GET IT BACK. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT.

I WAS DRIVING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY JUST AS MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED DRIVING, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR, AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED. I HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT UP AND HAD TO WAIT A FEW MOMENTS FOR IT TO START AGAIN, BUT THE CAR DID NOT FEEL THE SAME WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE.

ON NOVEMBER 27, 2018, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING MIDWAY THRU THE TURN. I WAS ALMOST IN A CRASH. I GOT THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I STARTED THE ENGINE. YOU COULD NOT HEAR IT RUNNING BUT THE RPM GAUGE REGISTERD AROUN 5-500 RPM. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT BEGAN TO RUN. I CALL THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THE SOONEST I COULD GET TO THE DEALER WAS THE 29TH. I DELIVERED THE CAR TO THE DEALER EARLY ON THE 29TH. THE DEAL CALLED ME AROUND 5:30 PM THE SAME DAY TO EXPLAIN THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL AND THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. THEY ASKED ME TO DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I RETURNED THE CAR ON DECEMBER THE 7. I STARTED THE CAR THAT MORNING AND IT SOUNDED...

CONSUMER BOUGHT CAR IN AUGUST 2018 (MEMORIAL WEEKEND). UPON OBTAINING THE CAR, CONSUMER NOTICED THAT CAR APPEARED TO ATTEMPT TO STALL WHEN BREAK; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WOULD KICK BACK IN AND NOT STALL. LAST WEEK (END OF NOVEMBER 2018) CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STOPPED AT AN INDIVIDUALS HOME TO PICK THEM UP WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH THE STOP/START SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CONSUMER TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE CAR; LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAR RAN AS NORMAL. CONSUMER WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY 12/5/2018 WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR STALLED AND RESTARTED, PUTTING IT INTO A "POWER SAVING MODE" WHERE THE RADIO DID NOT WORK AND PARKING BREAK LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHT, AND START/ STOP LIGHT. UPON GETTING THE CAR TO THE DESTINATION (HALF A MILE) THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONSUMER TURNED OFF CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO...

I HAVE ABOUT 5500 MILES ON MY NEW COMPASS. WHILE IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE DISPLAY FLASHED 'OIL PRESSURE LOW' FOR LESS THAN A SECOND. THEN ANY INDICATION OF THAT WARNING LIGHT IS GONE. THE ENGINE THEN SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHICH MAKES THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A REAR END CRASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMED 3 QUARTS OF OIL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL UNTIL A SECOND BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AND TURNED OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE DEALER (SUSQUEHANNA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 950 HELLAM ST, WRIGHTSVILLE, PA 17368, 717-401-4005) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 18V524000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 17V670000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE DEALER ALSO FOUND AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK THAT HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,800.

THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS STALLED AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH 335 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

2018 JEEP STALLED THREE TIMES IN TWO DAYS. FIRST AND SECOND STALLS OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP SIGN (5 MPH). THIRD STALL HAPPENED AS TRAVELING ON THE ON-RAMP (40 MPH) TO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. PARKING BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE IS DEAD. RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER TWO MINUTES OR SO TO CLEAR INTERSECTION. DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY REASON FOR STALL AND "CHRYSLER HAS NOTHING ON IT." DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN.

AT ABOUT 25 MPH THE BREAKS DIDN'T WORK WHEN APPLIED AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, SOME TIMES THE CAR SPEEDS UP EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS NOT APPLIED, SOMETIMES WHEN I SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE D OR R INDICATOR FLASHING THEN I HAVE TO PARK AND TRY AGAIN.

DAYTON ANDREWS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, INC. SOLD ME A DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND REFUSE TO ABIDE BY LEMON LAW. ON APRIL 21 2018 I PURCHASED A NEW JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE 4X2 SPORT UTILITY WITH 15 MILES ON ODOMETER. AUGUST 2 I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO ENGINE STALLING, INTERMITTENT ENGINE SHUT OFFS, WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON, ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND MULTIPLE LOSS OF PANEL COMMUNICATION FAULTS. AUGUST 6, I WAS TOLD TO PICK UP VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL LEAD MECHANIC STATED IT'S A LEMON AND THAT I SHOULD GO LEMON LAW. HE COULDN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE, IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE REPAIRED THIS TIME AND HE WILL CONTINUE TRYING TO FIX VEHICLE IF ORDERED BY HIS BOSS. BEFORE I COULD LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT VEHICLE STALLED AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH MULTIPLE LOSS OF COMMUNICATION OCCURRED, SO THE VEHICLE NEVER...

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND IN A MIDDLE OF THE STREET TURN OFF, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED IT DIDN'T HAVE NO ENGINE OIL ON IT. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW NOT EVEN 5000 MILES ON IT. DIDN'T SHOW ANY WARNING BEFORE HAND MAKING IT A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE LIKE ME TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AND THE CAR STOPING OUT OF NOWHERE.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN LAST WEEK. SIMPLY SHUTS DOWN IN MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREET. *DT UPDATED 12/13/18*JB

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WOULD JERK OR BUMP HARD ENOUGH FOR SEAT BELT TENSION SYSTEM TO JERK YOU INTO THE SEAT. WOULD MOSTLY HAPPEN AT A CONSTANT 30 MPH OR LOWER SUCH AS A SCHOOL ZONE. ALTHOUGH WOULD ALSO HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON ACCELERATION SUCH AS ON RAMP OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF THIS AND AFTER A TOUCH SCREEN SAFETY UPDATE TO KEEP THE DISPLAY FROM FLASHING FULL BRIGHTNESS AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO PRIVATE ENTRY OF WORK (GATE THAT REQUIRES RFID BADGE) AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO MISS FROM HITTING US AT ONLY 3500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. LUCKY WE WERE ONLY DOING AROUND 20 MILES AN HOUR AND HAD OUR BLINKER ON. THE TECH THAT TOOK 22 DAYS TO WORK ON THE MOTOR OF THE...

WHEN IDLING IN PARK, THREW A CHECK ENGINE AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, VEHICLE ROUGHLY SLAMS INTO GEAR AND IS UNABLE TO SWITCH GEARS ONCE DRIVING.

VEHICLE LEASED NEW BEGAN TO HAVE GRUMBLING, LOAD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION AT 37MPH. TOOK TEST DRIVE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE SAME NOISE. JEEP SAID KNOWN ISSUE WAITING FOR UPDATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER UPDATED TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE LINE MODULE. NOISE STILL THERE, IF VECHILE PLACED IN 4X4 OR ESC TURNED OFF NOISE WILL DISAPPEAR. NOISE SOUNDS LIKE IT CAN BE DRIVELINE OR TRANSMISSION NOT IN RIGHT GEAR. CAR IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY AND RPM GOES HIGH. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT A FEW TIMES FOR NO REASON CAR WAS STATIONARY WITH FOOT ON BRAKE AND THE AUTO START OFF DISABLED. HEATED STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS GET EXTREMELY HOT. SHUT DOWN ON THERE OWN AT TIMES FOR NO REASON. POOR GAS MILEAGE IS RELATED TO ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND DRIVELINE PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, IT LURCHED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE PRECEDING VEHICLE HAD A TRAILER HITCH AND RIPPED OFF THE CONTACT'S BUMPER. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAINBOW CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MCCOMB, LLC (101 RAINBOW WAY, MCCOMB, MS 39648, (601) 684-7020), BUT THEY DID NOT INSPECT THE DAMAGE AND STATED THEY WERE NOT A COLLISION CENTER. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO A COLLISION CENTER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON, RIGHT SIDE OF RPM GAUGE IS LITE UP WITH THREE BARS. VEHICLE HAS LARGE CLUNK WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND ACCELERATING, ATTEMPTS TO STALE AT LOW SPEEDS. NOTE I TURN OFF THE STOP/START SWITCH AS I DO NOT LIKE IT TO TURN OFF AT STOP SIGNS. THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT IS STILL ON. THE DEALER SAID IT COULD NOT LOOK AT MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAS 2,496 MILES ON IT. THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME I COMPLAINED THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS. VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS FOR STALLING OUT EVEN AT SPEEDS OF 10-20 MPH. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE IN MY GARAGE, IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR END IS GOING TO BUST THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS.

WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALERSIP AND THEY SAID IF THE OIL IS LOW THERE IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND IS 3 MONTHS OLD. NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING EVER CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS A LITTLE LOW SO I ADDED A 1/2 A QUART. IN READING UP ON THIS VEHICLE IT SAYS IT BURNS QUITE A BIT OF OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE CAR BURNS THIS MUCH OIL AND THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN IF THE OIL IS A LITTLE BIT LOW. THIS IS MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING?

FRONT DISPLAY PANEL FLASHES OFF AND SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY BLACK THEN SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE STALLS. THEN A MULTITUDE OF SERVICE ALERTS GO ACROSS THE SCREEN AND THE DISPLAY SCREEN CONTINUES TO FLASH ON AND OFF. HAVE TO TRANSITION THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR. HAPPENS MORE WHEN CAR IS AT A STOP LIGHT.

AT AROUND 5000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "KNOWN" ISSUE AND TO COMPLAIN TO CHRYSLER. THEY CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS NEARLY 3 QUARTS LOW. THEY THEN GAVE ME THE OPTION TO JUST ADD OIL OR SINCE I WAS CLOSE TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE JUST TO HAVE THEM DO THAT. BOTH WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT I COME BACK ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE OIL ADDED, ALSO AT MY EXPENSE. I HAD THEM DO THE OIL CHANGE BUT LATER IN THE DAY IT WASN'T SITTING RIGHT WITH ME. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND ALSO A LEASE, THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND IF IT CAN'T THEN IT SURE AS HECK SHOULDN'T BE MY PROBLEM. I AM...

AT AROUND 5000 MILES MY JEEP WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. BROUGHT THE JEEP BACK AFTER 2000 MILES AND AGAIN IT WAS LOW (ABOUT 2 QUARTS). THE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED IT WAS BURNING OIL BUT WILL NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS WITHIN SPEC FOR CHRYSLER ( BURNING 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES).

ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. RECEIVED MESSAGES SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE ENGINE. COASTED TO STOP ON SHOULDER OF ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. CHECKED CODES AFTERWARDS; SHOWS P0339 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT AND P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CAR ENGINE STOPS WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, RESTARTED, AND SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BRICK POLE. THE "STOP SWITCH NOT ENGAGED" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 180800401 WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 855 SOUTH US HIGHWAY 1, VERO BEACH, FL 32962, (855) 859-5987), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 810. *DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT UPDATED 10/2/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE RIEHL'S ROSEVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (25800 GRATIOT AVE, ROSEVILLE, MI 48066, 586-859-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,200.

THE AUTO START STOP HAS MALFUNCTIONED SO MANY TIMES NOW I'VE LOST COUNT. I'VE HAD THE JEEP FOR 6 MONTHS. IT STARTED THE FIRST WEEK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AND THE START/STOP ISSUE LIGHT DOES THE SAME. I'VE HAD IT IN AND THEY JUST CLEAR THE ERROR MESSAGES AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. VERY FRUSTRATING! THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND HAD DIFFICULTY COMING BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS!
