2017 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

ON 6.22.2019 I PURCHASED A JEEP COMPASS CERTIFIED. I HAD THE JEEP FOR 10 DAYS BEFORE THE JEEP WILL NO LONGER START. THE JEEP HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THAT THE JEEP'S TIMPER IS NO LONGER WORKING. THIS IS A PRE-EXISTING ISSUE THAT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ON ROUTE 4 , PARAMUS,NJ WAS WELL AWARE OF WHEN THE SOLD ME THE JEEP. I DO NOT HAVE A LOANER CAR TO GET TO OR FROM WORK.......

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE A PROPER READING. THE GAUGE INDICATED THAT IT WAS EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK AND VICE VERSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER IT WAS TAKEN BACK AND FORTH TO MANHATTAN JEEP (629 W 54TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10019, 1-(877) 225-8709). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE AUTO OFF/ON IS TURNED OFF. ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY STARTED COMING ON BUT DID NOT AT FIRST. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND TRYING TO PULL OUT IT DIES AGAIN SOMETIMES LEAVING YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I GOT STRANDED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHEN IT SHUT OFF. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND GET HOME WITH IT. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED BUT WHEN TURNING I CAN HEAR A "DING" LIKE A BELL. THERE WAS ALSO A LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHICH LOOKED LIKE A LIGHTENING BOLT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT HAS ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE THE IDOL WAS SET A LITTLE TO LOW AS IT DOESN'T REALLY MOVE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. ALSO, WHEN THE ENGINE WENT OFF THE INSTRUMENT ON THE DASH SEEMED TO THINK THE CAR WAS STILL OPERATIONAL. IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF LIKE IF YOU CAME HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOUR TIMES. ALL HAVE BEEN CONTROL MODULE RELATED. WE LOSE ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS. VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. NOW WE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING AND IS IDLING ROUGH. ALL OF THESE HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THIS HAS BEEN OVER A SPAN OF THE PAST YEAR.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON AN 8 LANE EXPRESSWAY MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING. I IMMEDITAELY TUNRED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS AND CROSSED 7 LANES TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE, TURNED TO THE ON POSITION TO ALLOW ALL DAHSBOARD LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND THEN OFF. I TURNED MY VEHICLE BACK ON AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MY DESITNATION BUT THIS TIME WHEN IT HAPPENED I JUST WAS GOING UP A HILL, CARS IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME I WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH ANOTHER ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING. I NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE MANUFACTURES LIST OF THE KNOW DEFECT OF THEIR VOLUNTARY RECALL THEY INITATIATED. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND BECUASE THIS IS INTERMITTENT I CAN NOT RECREATE THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT ON THE LIST OF A RECALL EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. * '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

MY CAR EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT BUTTON HAS TURNED ON ALL BYITSELF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE CAR STOPS AND SHUTS OFF. THEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE PULL ON P BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A CAR BEHIND CAN CRASH INTO ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE FEBRUARY, THIS MORNING WAS MY 6 TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR ANYMORE, AFRAID OF TURNING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING

MAY 23, 2019, MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED OUR COMPASS ACCORDING TO THE POLICE IN THE TOWN. THE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 30MPG. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HUSBAND WAS TAKEN TO FINLEY HOSPITAL. THERE WERE INJURIES CONSISTING OF ROTATOR CUFF DAMAGE. I WILL BE LOOKING INTO A LAWSUIT. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE! THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, HE SAID HE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE AND STRUCK A TRAILER HOLDING A RIDING LAWNMOWER. IT WAS 12:16 PM.

IS USING OIL VERY QUICKLY. WAS TOLD TO CARRY OIL WITH ME TO KEEP THE OIL FULL SO THAT IT DOESN'T RUN OUT. WHEN OIL GETS LOW (NO OIL LEFT AFTER 3000 MILES) WILL GET BRIEF "LOW OIL PRESSURE" MESSAGE AND JEEP WILL JUST SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING. WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION YESTERDAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

ONCE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE CAR REMAINS IN THE PARK POSITION AND CAN NOT BE MOVED INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH MY DAUGHTERS IN THE MID DAY IN THE HEAT BECAUSE I CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT BUT CAN NOT TAKE A PICTURE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WILL ONLY SHOW MY HAND ON THE GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN A SCREEN SHOT OF THE VIDEO AND UPLOADED IT.

TAKARA RECALL. I WOKE UP IN THE AM TO GO TO MEET MY FRIEND, STATED JEEP, IT WAS RUNNING FUNNY.SO I PUT IN REVERSE AND PUKKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY, GOT TO A STOP SIGN, JEEP WOULD NOT GO, NO GAS OR JUST LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS.PARKING BRAKE WENT ON HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN. THAN PULLED ON TO HYWY 65 AND IT LIKE STALLED, NO GAS POWER ATT ALL, STEERING WAS HARD ,COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. AND CHECK ENGINE LITE WENT ON,! AND CHECKED THE OIL BECAUSE THAT KEEPS GOING ON TO.(JUST GOT AN OIL CHANGE)HAD TOO PUT IN 2 QUARTS OF OIL. IT IS GOING SOMEWHERE? IF THERE WAS ALOT OF TRAFFIC I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THERE ARE DAYS MY RADIO HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN? IT WILL JUST CHANGE CHANNELS OR FREEZE UP. MY PASSENGER WINDOW HAS A MIND OF IT OWN SOMEDAYS IT WILL ROLE DOWNBEAT OK , NEXT DAY OR HOURS IT WONT WORK AGAIN? ALL THEDE MALFUNTIONS MAKES MY ANXIETY OFF THE CHARTS. IT IS SAD WHEN IT IS YOUR VEHICLE AND YOUR SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE 4 RECALLS AND NO ONE TOLD ME ,I HAD TO LOOK THEM UP TO GET THEM. THAT IS HORRIBLE PEOPLES LIVES ARE IN DANGER! I HOPE THAT SOMEONE ELSE DOESNT HAVE TO BE SCARED TO DIVE THERE JEEP. LIKE ME.
