2016 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

FROM ON RAMP TO I290W. GOING 30 MPH AND ACCELERATED TO GET ON HIGHWAY AND CAR ENGINE WAS REVVING AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER WITH STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND UNABLE TO GO WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND I HAD TO GO AS BEST I COULD TO EMERGENCY LANE. I NEAR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY

JEEP WILL NOT START WITH KEY. THEN I HAD TO PRESS ON GAS TO GET CAR TO START, NOW IT DOESN'T START AT ALL WITH KEY. I HAVE TO USE MY AUTOMATIC STARTER TO GET MY CAR TO START THEN PUT MY KEY IN. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS NOT SAFE, AND OBVIOUSLY A JEEP PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS, AND SO MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY CAR STARTED STALLING OUT ON ME OUT OF NOWHERE, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SO THEY COULD TRY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I BOUGHT A NEW ONE( $183). 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR STARTED STALLING OUT ON ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY A COP HAD TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION, I HAD TO GET IT TOWED ($80) & TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM ($198) THEY SAID MY CAR HAD A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT SENSOR THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THAT IS THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT AND CHRYSLER WILL FIX IT FOR FREE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REDIAGNOSE MY CAR FOR $200 AND PAY $540 FOR THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE WHICH I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR. I ASKED IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET A RENTAL THROUGH THEM THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR IT. I STARTED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER ON 07/29 AND AM STILL WAITING ON THE SPECIALIST TO REVIEW THIS. I AM FRUSTRATED. EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY IS ANOTHER DAY THAT I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TO WORK WHETHER IT BE ASKING FOR A RIDE OR PAYING FOR A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I GOT IN A WRECK AND THE SENSOR MESSED UP I WOULD PAY FOR IT MYSELF NO QUESTIONS ASKED. ALL I'M ASKING IS FOR CHRYSLER TO HONOR THE SAFETY RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. IF YOU WERE IN THE SAME POSITION I'M SURE YOU WOULD BE STRESSED OUT AS WELL. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, NOW 4 TIMES. MY CAR IS 2016 THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING!!!! ALSO, I HAVE KEPT ALL RECEIPT AND WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE HEADACHE & UNNECESSARY CHARGES THAT THIS HAS CAUSED ME.

WHILE GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY RPMS DROPPED AND I TEMPORARILY LOST POWER STEERING AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN, THEN IT "CAUGHT" AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT STRAIGHT TO A CAR PLACE TO GET THE FREE DIAGNOSTICS. EVERYTHING CAME BACK NORMAL SO I LEFT. LATER IN THE DAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IT STALLED AGAIN AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THIS TIME. WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT ON AGAIN IT EITHER WOULD BUT THEN WOULD IMMEDIATELY STALL AGAIN OR IT WOULD JUST NEVER START. WHILE TRYING TO TURN IT ON, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN ON UNTIL THE CAR STALLED THE SECOND TIME.

MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A HIGHWAY AND WAS PULLED OVER IN THE EARLY MORNING BY A STATE TROOPER. THE OFFICER CAME UP TO THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO TAIL LIGHTS. WE WERE GIVING A WARNING AND WAS TOLD TO GET IT FIXED AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY AGAIN. SINCE THEN STILL HAVEN'T COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO FIX IT. ALL OTHER LIGHTS LIKE HEAD LIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, BRAKES LIGHTS AND BRIGHT LIGHTS ALL WORK JUST NOT THE TAIL LIGHTS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS SOMETHING WITH THE TIPM BECAUSE I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND WAS GIVEN A CODE WHICH ALSO STATED THE TIPM READING IS LOW. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET DUE TO HOW MUCH IT COASTS TO GET IT REPAIRED.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 (FIFTEEN) MILES ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED MY CAR HAD CONSUMED 1/3 OF A FULL FUEL TANK. ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO STALL OUT IF SPEED IS 25MPH OR UNDER CAUSING AN ABRUPT AND NOTICEABLE DECREASE IN SPEED RESULTING IN PEOPLE HAVING TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. CHANGE OIL LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHES ACROSS THE ODOMETER AND WILL NOT RESET NO MATTER WHAT I DO.

VEHICLE IS SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. WHEN FIRST BOUGHT VEHICLE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IS JUST THE WAY THAT TRANSMISSION IS. IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW
