2016 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

CAR WILL NOT START, HAS POWER BUT NO TURNOVER, NO CRANK. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, HAVE HAD BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED, IGNITION AND KEYS BUT NO CODES KICKING OUT. DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE HOWEVER NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. THERE ISN'T A SPECIFIC TIME OR REASON IT JUST HAPPENS. SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST SHUT IT OFF AND TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTS AND SOMETIMES IT LETS ME SIT FOR 15 - 30 MIN BEFORE IT STARTS. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE NO CLUE.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER I PUT GAS IN THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WE CHECKED EVERYTHING CANNOT FIGURE OUT ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON SO WE TOOK THE BATTERY OUT PUT IT BACK IN AND RESET THE LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT. ROUGHLY 3 OR 4 DAYS AFTER THAT IT WAS MORNING IT WAS MISTY THE ROADS WERE WET I WENT ABOUT 5 BLOCKS TOOK A RIGHT TURN WENT ANOTHER 5 BLOCKS TOOK A LEFT TURN AND ALL THE SUDDEN ANTI SKID LIGHTS CAME ON THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR HAD NO POWER. SOI PULLED IT OVER AND WE HAD IT TOWED HOME I HAD A DIAGNOSTICS TEST IN IT'S C1221 I BELIEVE WAS THE CODE WE HAVE NOT DRIVE IT SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF FOR 5 MINUTES AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER RAY PRICE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 2969 PA-940 SUITE C, MT POCONO, PA 18344, WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND FILED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

OUR VEHICLE ACTS AS IF IT HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, RADIO NO LONGER WORKS BUT CLOCK DOES, ENGINE CRACK SHAFT MAKES IT HARD FOR VEHICLE TO START. CAR WAS CHECKED FOR BATTER, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND CHECK OUT ALL GOOD. IT STRUGGLES TO START JUST STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO. IT TAKES ALOT TO BUILD SPEED SOMETIMES AND STALLS SOMETIMES ACTING AS IF IT WANTS TO CUT OFF.

CAR WILL NOT START MAKES CLICKING NOISES. HAVE ALL POWER, LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING BUT WONT CRANK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT MIGHT BE THE KEY FOB SO GOT A NEW ONE. WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND IS STARTING AGAIN. THE AUTO START WILL START IT BUT WHEN I PUT THE KEY ON AND PUT IT IN THE ON POSITION IT SHUTS DOWN. IF I LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT IT STARTS.SOMETIMES IT DOESNT HAPPEN FOR A WEEK OR TWO, SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. I DONT WANT IT CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING THE BUSY ROADS I HAVE TO TRAVEL ON.

THE CAR HAS BEEN TO MULTIPLE JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND IT KEEP STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN BUT NO PROBLEMS FOUND. IT HAS SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE DAYS. WE HAVE CHECKED RECALLS AND NONE APPLY TO THE JEEP. I HAVE TWO SMALL A KIDS AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

THE SEAT BELT LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGE TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN. IT COMES UNDONE WITH VERY LITTLE FORCE OR PULLING.

WHEN THE VECHILE IS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE MOTOR WILL JUST STALL WE WILL HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN START IT AGAIN AND IT WILL BE FINE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT I HAVE HAD IT A YEAR AND IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND WE JUST HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING IT

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE 110S FROM THE 10E, THE ENGINE TURNED ITSELF OFF. I WAS GOING ALMOST 60 MPH. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED INTO PLACE AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW, PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO STEER EFFECTIVELY. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR - MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MY 7 YEAR OLD SON. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET ONTO A SHOULDER COMPLETELY AS I COULDN'T STEER. I TURNED THE KEY INTO THE ENGINE OFF POSITION, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED THE ENGINE OVER. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR SEVERAL DAYS LATER - I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF A NEW CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND TWO CAM SHAFT SENSORS - THAT ALL THREE SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. I CALLED JEEP, AFTER A FRIEND SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE ON 2016 JEEP COMPASSES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR'S VIN DID NOT MATCH THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED DESPITE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.

CAR LOSES POWER AT TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. FEELS LIKE IT'S SHUDDERING/MISSING GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. ETC INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT GETS VERY BAD.
