2017 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE OPERATING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID IT USES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES THEREBY BY CAUSING ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION. DEALER STATED CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED YET. DEALER ALSO STATED TO GET AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS 33,720 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED JUN 2017.

MY VEHICLE HAS 15562 MILES ON IT AND IS 400 MILES FROM IT'S OIL CHANGE. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS IT WOULD RANDOMLY STALL AND SHUT OFF CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND VEHICLE ACCELERATION. WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME WE DID A ONCE OVER ON THE ENGINE AND THE OIL DIP STICK WAS BONE DRY. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL JEEP COMPASSES WITH THE SAME ISSUE.*DT CONSUMER STATED OUR VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 300 MILES SHY OF THE 5000 MILE SUGGESTED OIL CHANGE FROM JIFFY LUBE (PER MFG'S SPEC). SO 4700 MILES SINCE PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE.*JB

I CAME DOWN A HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, STREET THEN BECAME LEVEL AND I CAME TO STOP SIGN, I STOPPED AND MY ENGINE DIED AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE CAME ON. I HAD TO REMOVE FOOT FROM BRAKE, PUT BACK ON BRAKE, RESTART ENGINE AND THEN I COULD DISENGAGE EMERGENCY BRAKE. DEALER IS TELLING ME THIS BECAUSE IT WAS LOW ON OIL. BUT I WASN'T EVEN DUE FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES FOR AN OIL CHANGE.

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE COMPASS WENT INTO AUTO STOP. WHEN MY FOOT RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE CAR SHUTTERED, A LIGHT APPEARED AND IT APPEARED TO STALL. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO BRAKE, PARK THE VEHICLE, TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON (IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION). THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAYN THE VEHICLE DID NOT APPEAR AFFECTED, BUT A DIFFERENT LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING COLLISION WARNING WAS TURNED OFF. IT DID NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND DID NOT APPEAR TO POP BACK UP. LATER THAT SAME DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL GOING ABOUT 76 MPH IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED, AND APPEARED TO STALL. THE SAME LIGHT TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER, THEN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. PICTURES OF THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.

THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET MY CAR STALLED AND I COULDN'T STEER OR CONTROL THE SPEED OR MOTION OF THE CAR.

AUTO STOP FAILED TO RESTART VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT. PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. HAD TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. THEN HAD TO RESTART TO CONTINUE DRIVING.

ON SATURDAY, 10/5/19 WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE FOR ONLY A MINUTE AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON (OIL PRESSURE LOW) AND THEN TURNED OFF. I THEN STOPPED MY VEHICLE AND WAITED ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE CHECKING THE OIL AND IT WAS DOWN ALMOST 2 1/2 QUARTS. THIS IS ONLY AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3,200 MILES SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE. I WENT T TO JEEP SERVICE IN GARDEN CITY, NY FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING AND WAS TOLD BY 2 DIFFERENT SERVICE WORKERS THAT IT IS NORMAL TO BURN THROUGH A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1500 MILES. * THIS IS NOT NORMAL*

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BURNED EXCESSIVE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAMES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (13007 WICKER AVE, CEDAR LAKE, IN 46303, (219) 267-1226) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED FOR OIL CONSUMPTION EVERY 500 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,008. *BF*JB

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IDLE AT STOPS. THE CAR RESTARTS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO MOVE AGAIN.

AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP, CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF DUE TO START/STOP SYSTEM. WHEN RELEASING BREAK CAR CANNOT START BACK UP, ALL LIGHTS TURN ON, EMERGENCY BREAK IS AUTOMATICALLY ENABLED AND STALLS. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF (EVEN THOUGH ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING) AND TURN BACK ON AND REMOVE THE EMERGENCY BREAK BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE BATTERY WAS BAD. BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE IS NOW MORE FREQUENT.
