MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ALMOST WAS IN 5 PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON IT

WHILE DRIVING MOSTLY ON HIGHWAY CAR HESITATES LIKE IT WILL STALL OR NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. HAD COILS REPLACED BUT AFTER AWHILE DID SAME THING. AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR AS MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS GOING BACK AND FORTH TO DEALER UNSUCCESSFULLY. NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS.

I BOUGHT A 2016 JEEP COMPASS BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER ONLY THREE YEARS (72,500 MILES), THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE JEEP, WHICH IS A MANUAL 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION, WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEARS. IT MADE HORRENDOUS GRINDING NOISES AS THE VEHICLE FAILED AND FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. PRIOR TO IT COMPLETELY DYING, IT WAS STALLING OUT ON ME AND SLIPPING OUT OF SECOND GEAR WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, NOT TO MENTION HOW DISAPPOINTING THAT A CAR WHICH IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WOULD HAVE A TRANSMISSION THAT COMPLETELY FAILED ON IT. THE JEEP WAS WELL-MAINTAINED AND GARAGE KEPT. IT WAS NEVER DRIVEN ANYWHERE EXCEPT MAIN ROADS AND HIGHWAYS.

DRIVERS SEAT BELT RANDOMLY UNLOCKS WHEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND ON VARIOUS ROAD SURFACES. I TRAVEL LESS THAN 2 MILES TO WORK AND TOTAL ON AVERAGE ABOUT 20 MILES/WEEK. IT HAS EVEN HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING 65MPH (WAS NOT ADJUSTING MY POSITION OR MOVING IN ANYWAY). I PURCHASED MY 2016 COMPASS 4 MONTHS AGO, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 2 DOZEN TIMES. IT IS ALSO HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I KNOW THE SEAT BELT IS CLICKED IN PROPERLY BECAUSE THE ALARM & DASHBOARD LIGHT TURN OFF. I HOPE IT IS INVESTIGATED ASAP BEFORE IS CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. *DT CONSUMER STATED I DON'T HAVE ANY SERVICE RECORDS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HAD IT SERVICED YET. I PURCHASED IT MID JUNE FROM BERLIN CITY IN PORTLAND WHO PERFORMED A 120 POINT INSPECTION AND SEAT BELTS WERE FOUND TO BE FINE. I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS A TREND AND IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JEEP WILL OWN AND TAKE CARE OF FIXING. *JB

ETC, AIR BAG, TRACKING INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY. HAVE HAD TO GO TO JIFFY LUBE TWICE TO HAVE SENSORS RESET WITH ONE REMAINING. EVENTUALLY INDICATORS COME BACK ON AGAIN. THEY COME ON WHILE DRIVING. HARD TO GET JEEP TO MOVE, "JERKY" UNTIL I REACH 20 MPH. HAVE TO PULL OVER TO TURN CAR OFF THEN TURN BACK ON, CONTINUE FOR A MILE AND THEN REPEAT.

2TO3 SECOND DELAY UPON ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING OR STANDING! CAUSING GREAT CONCERNS ON SAFETY OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, PHILLIPS JEEP,3440 S.PINE AVENUE,OCALA,FL. 34471 (352)732-7577 ; INSPECTED AND PERFORMED A PCM UPDATE ON 23SEPT19. NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMER. HOWEVER,A DELAYED ACCELERATION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN TRAFFIC WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTION OR INTERSTATE HWY. THIS OCCURRED WHILE STANDING/STOPPED AND OR IN MOTION. VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS,FWD;2.0 LITER.

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT PROVOCATION. FORTUNATELY, NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT. IT MADE A REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN IT DEPLOYED STARTLING DRIVER, CAUSING DRIVER TO SWERVE AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS A PIECE OF PLASTIC BROKE OFF INSIDE THE HEADREST CAUSING THE HEADREST TO DEPLOY.

MY THROTTLE BODY SENSOR IS COMING ON AND CAUSING MY ENGINE TO BUCK AND STALL WHILE DRIVING (HAPPENS AT ANYTIME). I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME 2016 MODELS BUT SHOULD BE ACROSS THE BOARD FOR 2016. I AM LITERALLY PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THAT YEAR.

RANDOMLY THE CHIME WILL COME UP ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELT SIGN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT ON. HAVE NOT HAD THE SEAT BELT COME OUT YET BUT WOULD NOT LIKE TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN.
