2018 JEEP COMPASS Power Train Problems

While parked for maybe 10 minutes, the service engine and service transmission lights dinged. When putting in reverse it shifted really hard and felt like the car jumped. No problem going in reverse, but would not accelerate very well, couldn’t go over 30-35mph. Going on 2 days now! The code we’ve gotten is “P1DD2”, but no one seems to know what it means. Taking it in Monday morning. Very frustrating and not safe at all!! I’ve read several issues of the same incident(s).

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.

While driving down the road going 55mph, my car suddenly stalled with the "Service Transmission" and "Service Engine" lights and messages appearing. The car would not accelerate. Once safely stopped on the side of the road, the car shifted heavily in park. In order for my car to safely drive, we had to sit with the car off for several minutes. Once cranked again, the service transmission light went off and it would shift into gear without any grinding noise but the Service engine light stayed on. This is the SAME ISSUE REPORTED AND RECALLED with the PCM Voltage Regulator Chip. It has done this FIVE TIMES while driving down the road, and countless others while idling in park. This is a safety hazard. Though the VIN dictates it is not part of the recall, my car clearly is.

My jeeps auto start stop has had issues since the day I got it. Ive taken it back to jeep servicing multiple times and all they do is resent the card computer. The car still moves while in park, the car shuts off while driving on the highway (55mph) it slows down, shuts off and does start for a few mins. The entire right passenger side wheel broke off the car. The car jumps forward which cause a accident back in 2018-2019 a few months right after getting the car. The car jump forward while making a turn going 10mph.

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...

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while coming to a complete stop, the vehicle would stall. The contact had to restart the vehicle in order to drive again. The failure would occur 3 times every week. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer test drove the vehicle for 16 miles, however, the dealer could not replicate the failure. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer Cerritos Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM (18803 Studebaker Rd, Cerritos, CA 90703) but the dealer could not replicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer Cerritos Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to another dealer for diagnosis. The manufacturer also opened a case but denied buying back the vehicle. The failure mileage was 49,239.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE SHOOTS UP (HOT) FOR 5 -30 SECONDS THEN ENGINE STALLS. CAN'T RESTART OR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED STATIONERY, IN MOTION, TURNING, FREEWAY AND CITY STREETS. ALSO CAN HAS HAPPENED ALL 4 SEASONS: FALL,, SPRING, SUMMER AND WINTER. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS AND NO DEALERSHIP CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL AT RED LIGHTS WHEN SHUTTING OFF FROM BRAKING, WHEN RELEASING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITH OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. IN THESE INSTANCES I HAVE HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THEN POWER IT OFF AND RESTART IT AS THE QUICKEST FIX. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME IN DRIVE THRUS WHILE STOPPING TO PAY AND AT STOP SIGNS, ALL DOING THE SAME THING AFTER BRAKING AND THE AUTOMATIC START/STOP ENGAGING. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE HAD HAS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD/HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES NOW. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS GOING 30 MPH AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING AND THE POWER STIRRING NO LONGER WOULD WORK, THE SCREEN DISPLAYED A MESSAGE SAYING TO PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND...

MY CAR FLASHED A WARNING TO "STOP SAFELY VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF SOON" AND CAR SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET! THERE IS A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT MINE WASN'T INCLUDED, I GUESS. A CAR GOING DOWN THE STREET AND SUDDENLY COMING TO A COMPLETE, UNINITIATED STOP IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I WOULD THINK IF THIS IS HAPPENING, THEN THE PCM SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP ISN'T ON BOARD WITH THIS. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THEY CAN'T RE-CREATE THE ERROR. MY SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2018 JEEP COMPASS.

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...

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR WHEN IT WAS JERKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FINALLY THE SHOP FOUND THE PROBLEM VALVE STICKING. THEY REPLACE IT.

CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ON ME AUTOMATICALLY WHILE PULLING ONTO HIGHWAYS AT 60MPH IT ENGAGED PARKING BRAKE AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE ON SCREEN THAT STATED "PLACE SHIFTER INTO PARK AND RESTART". I HEADED FOR THE DEALERSHIP INSTANTLY. AFTER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD BE REPLACED. ENGINE WAS REPLACE MID NOVEMBER 2020. NOT EVEN 3000 MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE IT ONCE AGIAN STALLED OUT AND ENGAGED PARKING BRAKE. OIL IS NOT LOW. "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" IS ON AND CAR BOGS DOWN WHEN ACCELERATED. CAN NOT DRIVE IN NORMAL TRAFFIC. ALMOST LIKE TRANSMISSION IS GOING. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN UNDER 2YRS OLD AN ITS OUR ONLY CAR! I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFTEY OF THE JEEP AND IT DEFINITELY IS NOT 5HERE AT ALL! MY WIFE AND I DO NOT TRUST DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ONE MORE MILE.

CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. INTERMITTENTLY. TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY JERKS INTO GEAR. INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL RESTART. KEY FOBS (MAIN FOB AND SPARE) INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT FUNCTION. (BATTERIES ARE NOT THE ISSUE)

HAND BRAKE, PART # 6MF41LXH-AA, SWITCH BR 08058060, DUE TO VEHICLE DESIGN AND BEING ACCEPTABLE TO UNDERNEATH RAIN WATER, PUDDLES, SLUSSHES, BUT NO HIGH WATERS OR FLOODS, WHEN ENGAGED IN PARK WILL NOT DISENGAGE,AND NOT MOVABLE, AND MUST BE TRANSPORTED TO BE FACTORY OR DEALER REPAIRED/ REPLACEED AT A HIGH OWNER EXPENSE PLUS THE INCONVIENCE OF NOT HAVING USE OF THE JEEP.

WHEN SHIFTING VEHICLE WILL JOLT AND MAKE A POP NOISE MOSTLY WHEN DRIVEN LONG MILES AND THEN SHIFTING BETWEEN SPEED LIMITS , GOING THROUGH ROUNDABOUTS, STOPPING AND GOING ,

DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION (MOSTLY ON INCLINES OR HIGHWAY TRAVEL), THE SHIFTING OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "SLAM" INTO DIFFERENT GEARS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY CANNOT CHECK FOR ISSUES WITH THE DRIVETRAIN IF THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY OVERHEATS THEN GETS BACK TO NORMAL. VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATOR FAILED. AND ALSO CAUSING MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE. SWISHING NOISE OCCURS AS WELL.

AUXILIARY BATTERY IN THIS CAUSING MAJOR OTHER ISSUES WITHIN THE CAR. CAUSING POWER TO TRANSMISSION TO BE DELAY AND RESULTING IN BOTH YOUR CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHTS TO BE ACTIVATED.

1) 10/29/2020 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ON WHEN THE CAR MADE A LOUD THUMP, JUMPED OUT CRUSE CONTROL, SHUT OFF, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SITTING FOR A BIT, CAR STARTED BUT WOULD NOT GO OVER 25 MPR BACK TO TOWN. AT THE SIGNAL LIGHT, WHEN STOPPED, THE CAR STARTED TO GO IN REVERSE. WAS ABLE TO STOP IT AGAIN, AND GOT IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A COMPUTER UPDATE. 2) 12/06/2020 1 MONTH LATER, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT, CAR DID IT AGAIN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SITTING, IT STARTED, BUT WOULD NOT RUN OVER 25 MPR. AND THIS TIME AT SIGNAL LIGHT STOPPED, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT. THE CAR IS GOING BACK TO...

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 30MPH THE VEHICLE STALLS AND MESSAGE CENTER READS "TO SHIFT, VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED" THEN STATES "SHIFT TO P THEN DESIRED GEAR. THE RESTART IS ROUGH. VEHICLE IS 2.5YRS OLD WITH 45.5K MILES.

THE ENGINE USES EXCESSIVE OIL AND THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY

CAR KEEPS STOPPING AT LIGHT AND NOT WANTING TO TURN BACK ON

TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO JERK WHICH THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP WITH THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT SAYING IT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. ONCE THAT APPEARED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IT STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE EVERYONE IS DRIVING 65 MPH AND IT GAVE ME NO TIME TO MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. ONCE THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT JERKED AND THE POWER ON THE CAR WENT OFF, SO IT PUT IT ON EMERGENCY BRAKES AND SAID TO STEP ON BRAKE AND PUSH START. I TURNED THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, SO I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH CAUTION BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL THERE. I DROVE FOR A MILE...

VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING STREET OR HIGHWAY. SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAR DECELERATES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BACK UP CAMERA INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. I AM SURE THERE IS MORE BUT AT THIS TIME THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT AS MY DAUGHTER, SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDBABIES ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD 250 MILES FROM HOME. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE TODAY WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHT.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IF I MAKE A COMPLETE STOP THE AUTOSTP ENGAGES WILL NOT DISENGAGE UNTIL JEEP IS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF AND ON. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL ALSO RANDOMLY ENGAGE. CAUSE ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. ALSO HAVE HAD TIMES WERE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS STIFF AND CANT START THE JEEP.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AFTER BEING IN MOTION, I OFTEN GET AN ERROR MESSAGE FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING. BY THIS, I MEAN THAT WHENEVER I SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR THE VEHICLE STALLS THEN HAS AN ABRUPT SHIFT THAT MOVES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT TURNED OFF FOR A MINIMUM OF 30MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EXCEEDS SPEEDS OF 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO CONTINUES TO MAKE A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS BEING FORCED INTO MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT TO THE DESIRED GEAR. THE ENGINE ICON ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *BF THE CONSUMER HAS STATED THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN ONCE. *AS

STOP/START NOT AVAILABLE, BACKUP CAMERA GOES OUT OR DOES NOT WORK, ENGINE IS SUPER HOT HIGH HEAT, CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AMBER STOP START LIGHT,PUTTING IN REVERSE AND CAR WILL DIE OUT OR HESITATE, ONLY 14,000 MILES 2 YEARS OLD ALL THESE SYMPTONS CAME ON THIS WEEK. TRULY FRUSTRATING 2 YEAR OLD CAR AND ITS REDICULOUS HOW BAD THIS IS. I WILL NEVER BUY THIS COMPASS OR JEEP AGAIN.

BATTERY DIED AND REQUIRES JUMP STARTING EVERY TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. IT TOOK AN HOUR TO START MY VEHICLE TODAY. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE A VOLTAGE REGULATOR ISSUE JUST LIKE OTHER MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE BUT MY VIN SAYS IT ISN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL.

WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 65 MILES AN HOUR CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. MESSAGE POPPED UP ON DASH STATED TO SHIFT CAR IN TO PARK AND RESTART. I WENT FROM 65 MILES AN HOUR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE MATTER OF SECONDS A SEMI ALMOST CRASHING INTO ME. PULLED OVER RESTARTED THE CAR, STARTED DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN ON THE WAY. LEFT CAR AT DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY I NEEDED TO PURCHASE AN OIL CHANGE. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. I AM 1000 MILES AWAY FROM AN OIL CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THESE CARS CONSUME OIL EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS THAT MEANS 5 QUARTS OF OIL HAS BEEN CONSUMED IN BETWEEN MY OIL CHANGES. I DO NOT TRUST DRIVING THIS CAR MYSELF OR WITH MY FAMILY....

INITIALLY SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, APPEARS ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS TURN WITHOUT MOVING FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, AFTER THAT IF THERE WAS AN INTENTION OF CHANGING THE GEAR OF THE CAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE) THE COMPLETE CARS MOVE LIKE A MAYOR PART WAS BROKEN. AFTER TURNING ON THE CAR AND TURNING OFF THE CAR 2 TIMES THE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR AND THE CAR CAN START MOVING FREELY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE AND THE DEALER SERVICE EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS AN INCORRECT PLUG. WEEKS LATER THE EVENT WAS REPEATED BUT NOW RUNNING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS WHILE RUNNING THE CAR INSTANTLY REDUCE THE SPEED, WHICH IS VERY DANGER AT THIS SPEED, AND WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND AND CAN NOT EXCEED 30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLES TIMES, AND IT HAS BEEN 'CORRECTED' IN...

I OWN A MANUAL 2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH AROUND 14,000 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. I NOTICED, AND NOT SURE IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT, AFTER THE CAR HAS IDLED A BIT. EACH TIME THE CAR MAKES A TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE. THE CAR LOSES POWER, HAS NO PICK UP, GOES LIMP. IT IS A MANUAL, AND WHEN I PUT IT IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR, IT WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2RPMS ON THE DIAL. I USUALLY SHIFT WHEN IT GETS TO 3. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND COME ON. I MANAGED TO GET IT NOT TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT BOTH TIMES I HAVE NOT HAD TO STOP AT A LIGHT OR ANYTHING. BOTH TIMES I LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT, AND IT WAS FINE IN THE MORNING. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER...

THE FUEL HAND IS INACCURATE I HAD A HALF A TANK OF GAS STARTED IT AND IT RANDOMLY SAID I HAD 423 MILES TO E WHICH IT HAS NEVER SAID NOT EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS EVER SINCE THEN IT'S LIKE IT DRINKS THE GAS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING MORE THAN 120 MILES A TANK A GAS EVERY TWO DAYS I HAVE TO PUT GAS IN IT OR THE GAS HAND IS LYING. WHEN DRIVING SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING KICKS IT IN THE REAR IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO THAT BUT IT'S OCCASIONALLY AND I'M CONCERNED THAT MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THERE'S ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING KICKS IT OR HITS IT IN THE REAR BEFORE IT TAKES OFF IT GETS UP TO 6 OR 7 SOMETIMES BEFORE IT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER TO THE REVERSE POSITION, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY DROVE FORWARD OVER A CURB, HIT SEVERAL TREES, AND A PARKING POLE. DURING THE CRASH THE VEHICLE DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AWAY. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2020 MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS ENGINE WOULD SEIZE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WOULD SHUT OFF, AND AUTOMATICALLY PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE. I WOULD NO LONGER BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE, I'D LOSE POWER STEERING, AND THEN IT WOULD STRUGGLE TO RESTART. THIS OBVIOUSLY PUT ME AT HIGH RISK FOR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR BEING INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, I WOULD SEE "CANNOT SHIFT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE" ON MY DASHBOARD SCREEN. I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AS I WAS RIGHTLY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL SHIFTING WIRE. THEY STATED THAT THEY SECURED IT AND THAT IT SHOULD BE FINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER, THIS TIME WITH NO DASHBOARD SCREEN INDICATION, ONLY THE D ON MY GEAR STICK FLASHED, AND I BROUGHT IT BACK. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP SAID...

I'VE BEEN GETTING THIS CAR SERVICED EVERY 2-3 MONTHS FOR THE SAME ISSUE SINCE I FIRST LEASED IT IN JULY 2018. I'VE BEEN SAYING IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, I GET IGNORED. MY CAR HAS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HIGHWAYS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF MY LEASE, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/1/2020 AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FINALLY TOOK IT IN. AFTER ALMOST A WEEK OF NOT TOUCHING IT, THEY FINALLY TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY NOW DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO FIX AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME OUT-OF-POCKET FOR A RENTAL CAR TO USE UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX IT. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT LEFT THE LOT WITH 0 MILES ON IT, I HAD TO GO THROUGH A RECALL AND COUNTLESS MOMENTS WHERE I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT, AND NO...

MULTIPLE TIMES THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHES. IN A FEW INSTANCES THE CAR STALLS AND DOESN'T WANT TO START BACK UP LEAVING YOU STUCK. LUCKILY WE'VE NEVER BEEN HIT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. USUALLY HAPPENS GOING UP A HILL OR AROUND A BEND. OIL LEVEL IN CAR IS GOOD AND CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP OR COLD ENGINE. DOESN'T MATTER IF GAS LEVEL IS AT A 1/4 OR 3/4 TANK. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR BUT IT SAYS IT'S NOT FOR MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE STALLING AND PROBABLY 25 TIMES THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT HAS FLICKERED ON.

I HAVE MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS FOR LITERALLY 10 MONTHS NOW NOT EVEN A YEAR. BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2019 AND IT IS NOW JANUARY 2020. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 2 TIMES TO THE SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. ANY TIME I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT JERKS AS IF SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE CAR IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE IT GOES INTO SOME SORT OF LIMP MODE WHERE IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 3 TIMES NOW. TWICE IN TRAFFIC! WHERE I'M STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WAVING FOR PEOPLE TO GO AROUND. AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. AS OF LAST NIGHT I WAS PARKED AT A GROCERY STORE ABOUT TO PULL OFF WHEN THE CAR JERKED AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE DASH LIGHT STARTED TO GO HAY WIRE AND...

WHILE DRIVING THE TACHOMETER AND THE DIGITAL AND ANALOG SPEEDOMETERS WENT TO ZERO. AND THE D FOR DRIVE WAS FLASHING IN THE DASH AS WELL AS AT THE SHIFTER ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING ALSO.WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK IT SHUT ITSELF OFF AND WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THIS IS A FEW MONTHS AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER FOR THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING AND CODES FLASHING. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO TAKEN AT ABOUT 20 MPH OF THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETERS

THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAY, I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME, SO FAR THREE TIMES IT HAPPENED. EVERY TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THE WAY IT HAPPENS FIRST MY SPEED WILL REDUCED EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE GAS, AND SUDDENLY STOPS.

ON 12/12/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM I WAS DRIVING EASTBOUND I-80 IN UTAH TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH. AT MILE MARKER 130 AT THE ENTRANCE TO PARLEYS CANYON AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE STALLED, LOOSING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BUT NEARLY REARENDED AND SEVERAL SEMI'S NEEDED TO DO QUICK MANUEVERS TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS AND IT WAS SUDDEN POWER LOSS NOT PREVIOUSLY EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUY I EXPERIENCE A SIMILAR LACK OF POWER/ACCELERATION. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE TOWED IT TO A JEEP DEALER.

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.

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...
