2016 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING SOMETIMES. THERE WASN'T ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANYTHING. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE CRANKCASE SENSOR. I SAW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHERE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT WORK WHEN MY HEADREST JUST EXPLODED AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. I HADN'T HIT ANYTHING OR STOP SUDDENLY I WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I HEARD A POP AND THEN GOT HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM THE HEADRESTS.

ABS 4WHEEL DRIVE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAY ON AND WON'T COME OFF AND SINCE THEY POPPED UP I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH MY ACCELERATION. IT'S BEEN CAUSING MY CAR TO RANDOMLY STOP ACCELERATING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY 4WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT POPS ON A FEW MINUTES AFTER I START DRIVING BUT THE OTHER 2 LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS NOTIFIED WHILE IN A STORE THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE SEEN COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOTALED. THE CONTACT HAD NO INDICATORS OF THE FIRE OCCURRING. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED THAT THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INTERVIEWED THE CONTACT AND FILED A REPORT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE WRECKAGE WAS TOWED AWAY TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. *DT

WHILE DRIVING CAR LOOSING POWER IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND A LIGHT LOOKS LIKE A Z SIDEWAYS. *TR

THE CAR IS AUTOMATIC BUT STALLED AS IF IT WERE MANUAL. WHEN I COME TO A SUDDEN STOP IT WOULD STALL OUT & SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MOSTLY HAPPENS AT STREET LIGHTS & STOP SIGNS. IF I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION FOR EX: TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR TO GO AT A GREEN LIGHT. IT JUMPS AS IF NOT BEING ABLE TO CATCH A GEAR SHIFT. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE MACHANIC, THEY DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG UNDER THE HOOD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017. I'M WORRIED IT WOULD CAUSE A CRASH.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I TRY TO OPEN MY HOOD, THE RELEASE LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD (NOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE) WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD TO USE A BOARD TO PRY THE LEVER OVER AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO USE A GIANT SCREWDRIVER. IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE HOOD BY MYSELF. JUST NOW I TRIED PUSHING THE LEVER WITH A BOARD AS I HAVE DONE BEFORE, BUT THE LATCH WILL NOT BUDGE EVEN THEN--IF ANYTHING IT ONLY MOVES FURTHER ONTO THE "RING" INSTEAD OF OFF FROM IT. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, IE. A BEGINNING FIRE OR POSSIBLE FIRE IN THE ENGINE, I WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THERE, I WOULD JUST HAVE TO STAND BACK AND WATCH MY CAR GO UP IN FLAMES. I HAVE NEARLY BROKEN MY HAND TRYING TO GET THE THING OPEN AND I CANNOT EVEN CHANGE THE OIL NOW.

A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST STOP WHILE DRIVING NO MATTER WHERE I WAS. WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS, THEN I WOULD STOP AND IT WOULD START BACK UP. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY FIXED THAT ISSUE. THIS MORNING I WENT OUTSIDE TO START THE CAR AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START AT ALL. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO START, BUT WON'T.

WHILE RIDING THIS EVENING MY ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A 3 LANE ROAD. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR STARTED AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO A AUTO SHOP BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME. THE CODE SAID IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. WHEN I MADE IT HOME I ENTERED MY VIN ON VEHICLE HISTORY.COM AND IT STARTED RECALL CAMPAIGN 16V907000 FOR MY CAR HOWEVER ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IT SAYS THERE IS NOT. IM GOING TO CONTACT A JEEP DEALER IN THE MORNING TO SEE IF IT CAN BE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND VIBRATED ABNORMALLY PRIOR TO THE STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS AND HORN OPERATED AS INTENDED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER; THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
