2014 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 80 IN THE PASSING LANE MY 2014 JEEP COMPASS LATTITUDE 2.4L SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT STOPPED. I TURNED OFF THE KEY AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES SO FAR. THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT SOMETIMES IT GOES WEEKS WITHOUT HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. RIVER FRONT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (200 HANSEN BLVD, NORTH AURORA, IL 60542, (630) 907-1700) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. IT LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF PLASTIC BROKE AND IT SPURN APART

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH IS NOT LATCHING TO THE BUCKLE. WHILE PUTTING SEAT BELT ON IT DISENGAGES FROM THE LATCH SYSTEM COMPLETELY. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-SECURE THE BUCKLE INTO THE LATCH CONTINUES TO ALLOW THE SEAT BUCKLE TO BECOME UNLATCHED. EXTREMELY UNSETTLING AS WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE KNOWING MY SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE AT ANY TIME. NOTHING IS TOUCHING THE BUCKLE OR LATCH SYSTEM TO CAUSE THE UNBUCKLE AT ANY TIME. HAVE CHECKED BY LOOKING INTO THE LATCH SYSTEM TO ENSURE NO DEBRIS IS INSIDE.

2014 JEEP COMPASS SPORT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT IN 2017, UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER DUE TO MAKING A LOT OF NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AS OF 8/24/19, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. VEHICLE NOW HAS 122,896 MILES ON IT. JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT IN 2017, THAT THIS DID NOT EXTEND WARRANTY AND I MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR UNLESS JEEP DECIDES TO GIVE GOOD WILL SERVICE. I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD, NOW 71, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION FAIL, CLUTCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON VEHICLES IN THE PAST AT AROUND 150,000 MILES, BUT NEVER A TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS?? DON'T THINK THREE TRANSMISSION IN 122, 896 MILES IS ANYWHERE NORMAL.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN ALL TEMPERATURES. MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER BRAKING. VEHICLE ALSO LOOSES POWER AND RUNS ROUGH WITHOUT WARNING. AT NO TIME HAVE ANY FAULT CODES TRIPPED.

WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT LAUNCHED WITHOUT PROVOCATION. CAR WAS NOT ON WHEN THE AHS BLEW, HITTING ME IN THE HEAD. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE HEADREST TOGETHER WAS BROKEN. I RECEIVED A MILD CONCUSSION, AND FEEL GRATEFUL THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE. *DT*JB *DT *DT *DT *TR 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

JEEP ENGINE WILL CONSTANTLY STALL WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A CONSISTENT BASIS FOR OVER A YEAR.
