2017 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

SINCE I'VE HAD MY CAR THE MAIN SCREEN WITH MAPS, WEATHER, RADIO, ETC. HAS SHUT OFF RANDOMLY, MY SPEAKERS HAVE TURNED UP TO THE MAX THEY COULD GO ALL BY THEMSELVES WITHOUT LETTING ME TURN ANYTHING OFF, THE WEATHER CONSTANTLY POPS UP AFTER I'VE CLEARED IT. ALL OF THIS WAS FIXED WITH REPLACING THE WHOLE SCREEN. BUT THEN AFTER THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT SAVE MY SETTING FOR THE FIRST 5 TIMES I STARTED IT BACK UP. I HAD TO KEEP SAVING THEM. IT HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES, I'VE HAD TO GET DIFFERENT TIRES REPLACED AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES AND AIR LEAKS, THE LAST BEING BECAUSE THE BELT BROKE IN THEM. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY FRONT USB REPLACED BECAUSE IT RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING. I'VE HAD TO GET OTHER PARTS REPLACED THAT CONTROL MY DRIVING AND NOW IT WON'T START. THE LIGHTS, RADIO, GAUGES, ETC. ALL WORK BUT THE GAUGES MAKE A TICK SOUND BUT THE ENGINE WON'T START. THERE HAS BEEN TWO TIMES THAT IT SAYS MY CAR IS RUNNING BUT THE ENGINE ISN'T ON. I'VE HAD MY SIDE LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN I TURN RANDOMLY NOT WORK BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS SOMETHING I'M DOING. I HAVE TO READ THE MANUAL MORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUD CLARY MOSES LAKE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 12174 N FRONTAGE RD, MOSES LAKE, WA 98837, (509) 765-3461) WHERE IT WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CV AXLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS IS VERY FAULTY AND HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE AREA FOR THE SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION OF THE THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUES. THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENTATION: (1) THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FURTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY STREET. (2) THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START WHEN PARKED IN A GARAGE. ONCE PRESSING THE START BUTTON MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND MULTIPLE SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON, INCLUDING "SERVICE ESP" AND "SERVICE 4WD". THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LIFE OF OWNING THE VEHICLE (ONLY 23 MONTHS AND ABOUT 18,000 MILES). I HAVE INCLUDED TWO SERVICE RECORDS (THE FIRST TIME AND MOST RECENT TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP), I DO NOT HAVE THE THIRD RECORD WITH ME AS THE VEHICLE IS IN FOR MAINTENANCE CURRENTLY AND THE OTHER INVOICE IS IN THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER YOU CAN SEE RECORD OF THE SECOND VISIT IN THE RECORD FROM 4/9/2019. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS GIVEN MY HISTORY WITH MY VEHICLE AND HOPE TO GET THIS PERMANENTLY FIXED INSTEAD OF PUTTING A BAND AID ON IT AS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE. *DT*JB

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2017 JEEP COMPASS FROM PAPAS DODGE IN NEW BRITAIN, CT. THE STOP/START FEATURE ON THIS VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY FAILS. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE ENGINE STALLS CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. THE DEALER APPARENTLY CAN NOT EMULATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT DRIVE IT ON A DAILY BASIS. MY DAUGHTER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. HAVE TO ADD 1 1/2 QUART BETWEEN OIL CHANGES.

THE VEHICAL (2017 JEEP COMPASS TRAILHAWK) AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN AND INHALED THE PARKING BREAK WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY STREET WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF AN ISSUE BY THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICAL TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TURN BACK ON. ONCE IT WAS BACK ON, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICAL TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DIP STICK. THE VEHICAL WASN'T AT ITS REQUIRED OIL CHANGE YET AND NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE WAS INDICATED TO ME THROUGH ITS SAFETY SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE BRAKE-ON WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, IT ROLLED AWAY AND DID NOT STOP WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUSANVILLE AUTO CENTER (530-257-5092, LOCATED AT 704-485 RICHMOND RD E, SUSANVILLE, CA 96130) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE ESS SYSTEM ACTIVATED WHEN I STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I LET GO THE BREAK, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK TURNED ITSELF ON, THE WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF AND THE BREAKS BECAME VERY HARD TO PRESS, CAUSE ME TO ROLL FORWARD WHEN I TRIED STOPPING. THE ONLY WAY I COULD REGAIN FULL CONTROL WAS TO RESTART THE CAR WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.

BRIDGESTONE FIREHAWK TIRE. THESE FACTORY TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE TIRE BELTS IN ALL 4 OF MY TIRES HAVE SHIFTED CAUSING AN EXCESSIVE HUMMING NOISE. MY TIRE TREADS ARE CURRENTLY AT 5/32 AND ACCORDING TO TREAD IS NOWHERE NEAR REPLACING, HOWEVER DUE TO THE TIRE BELTS SHIFTING IN ALL 4 TIRES, I MUST REPLACE THEM IN ORDER TO AVOID A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE.
