2014 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

MY OIL PRESSURE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT TURNING OFF AND ON. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE, AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS NOT DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED SO I ATTEMPTED TO TRANSPORT MY VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, AND AS I WAS TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE I HEARD A LOUD "POP!" FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FROM THREE LANES OVER. THE DASH BOARD PROCEEDED TO LIGHT UP AND A STRANGE SMELL BEGAN TO COME THROUGH THE VEHICLE. MY ASSOCIATE AND I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WE QUICKLY GRABBED OUR BELONGS AND MOVED A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES AND REMAINED ON FIRE UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO EXTINGUISH IT. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND JEEP HAS DENIED ASSOCIATION WITH THE INCIDENT.

CANNOT TRADE IN MY CAR DUE TO RECALL. I HAVE A NEW SON AND FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN VEHICLE.

POWER REAR WINDOW INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT RAISE AFTER BEING LOWERED. FOLLOWING A TRIP TO MY SON'T VIOLIN PRACTICE. AFTER RAISING USING THE REAR WINDOW POWER UP, IT RAISED AND THEN WORKED FINE. A FEW MONTHS LATER, OUT OF THE BLUE ONE MORNING THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. IT WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN OUR DRIVEWAY. CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IT OFF WITH A JUMP BOX AND IT WOULD STILL NOT START. HAD A FRIEND STOP BY AND ASSIST WITH JUMPER CABLES AND AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS IT STARTED. ADVANCE AUTO CHECKED THE BATTERY/STARTER/ALTERNATOR AND ALL TESTED FINE. TAKEN TO DEALER AND TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODEULE REQUIRED CHANGING AND WAS NOT COVERED BY EITHER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN ORIGIONALLY BOUGHT. THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. TWO DAYS AGO, OUT OF THE BLUE THE HORN HONKED. THEN TONIGHT, AFTER BEING PARKED AGAIN OVERNIGHT, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY JEEP AND UPON TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION ONLY THE DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO CAME ON X2. ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE STARTED. FIRST OCCURANCE WAS 7/26/2017 SECOND 8/8/2017 FOLLOWING TWO DAYS IN THE SHOP AND A CHANGED TIPM.

RECALL ISSUED 9/16/16. NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. SINCE THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY DURING A CRASH, THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT HAS PASSED AND STILL NO CORRECTIVE ACTION TO RESOLVE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THE ABS BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS THE SKID WARNING LIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 25 MPH DOWN THE STREET, THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TOO. OR POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN THE TRANSMISSION THAT LOCKED UP. I CAN'T BE SURE. BUT IT IS SAFE TO SAY THE ENTIRE CARE LOCKED UP LEAVING ME UNABLE TO STEER OR MANEUVER THE CAR IN ANY MANNER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME. I WAITED A COUPLE OF HOURS AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE ABS AND SKID LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE CAR IS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS.
