2019 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

While traveling down the roadway, a message will pop up on the middle information area that reads, “Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon.” Both the main battery, auxiliary battery checked and both tested good. (Replaced both less than 2 months ago) No check engine light. No battery light. No change in voltage. No change in any temperatures. The vehicle did shut off. But after shutting off for about 10 minutes, started back up with no problems. However after driving in secondary road for about 15 minutes, the same message popped up on the display.

Late July 2022, vehicle started indicating engine over heating regardless of appropriate coolant level. Vehicle then began to not start most times when attempting to turn car on. While driving on expressway, car completely shut off. Was able to coast to the side of the expressway out of the way of other vehicles. Vehicle was taken to a shop where the diagnosis was as follows: engine replacement, radiator replacement, system flush. There is an ongoing investigation currently regarding this type of vehicle.

While driving on the highway traveling about 70 mph in the middle lane the car went into a "limp mode" and the vehicle started decreasing speed and I was not able to accelerate using gas pedal. I was able to move over to the slow lane to exit. At traffic light, I had to shut car off and restart. I brought to the car back to the dealership Bourne Auto Sales in Easton MA where I purchased the vehicle for inspection they could not reproduce the problem, thus they could not find any issues wrong and could not fix. It's unknown if warning lights came on prior to incident and there no sounds prior. My safety and my child's safety and the safety of others traveling on the highway were at risk as there could of been a major accident traveling at a high rate of speed then decreasing speed on a mulit lane highway.

While sitting at a stop light, the engine stalled and would not restart. The brake pedal had no freeplay and was more difficult than normal to press. After about 30 minutes the vehicle restarted normally but required a lot of pressure on the brake pedal. No check engine or other warning messages appeared on the dash.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while his daughter was driving at an unknown speed and approaching a traffic light, she depressed the brake pedal but failed to stop the vehicle, causing the vehicle to rear-end another vehicle. The driver informed before the accident, multiple warnings light were illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained back injuries but did not seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The driver was able to drive to their residence. The contact took the vehicle to a collision shop and had the exterior of the vehicle repaired and the computer was reset. The vehicle was repaired but the same day they release the vehicle, multiple warning lights were illuminated for a second time. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brakes and tires to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.

Numerous times while driving at a low speed the EMERGENCY Brake suddenly came on for no reason. Car lost all ability to accelerate or brake at all. Had to be shut down multiple times to clear system to function again. Extremely dangerous in traffic for this to happen. Car has only 10000 miles and is maintained in every aspect.

Auto start stop system error. Also initiated a check engine light, right turn signal not working, brake lights stopped working, and parking light stopped working. Safety issue because inoperation of lights poses issue with other drivers. Vehicle has 17,500 miles.

The right Headlamp stopped working and Jeep keeps recommending fixes that don't work. This has created a big expense because they recommended running the diag, replacing the bulb, replacing the fuse, then finally replacing the entire Head Lamp Assembly. The HeadLamp still does not work and this is a safety issue.

The contact’s granddaughter owns a 2019 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that on several occasions while her granddaughter was driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact’s granddaughter was able to restart the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer was notified of the failure and scheduled an appointment. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable. The VIN was invalid.

- Unsure of fault as it hasn’t gotten inspected by mechanic or insurance but when start it indicates issue with steering and ESC system - Safety of self and others was severe if wasn’t controlled or in un-ideal conditions - Condition has yet to be reproduced or confirmed, sitting in mechanics lot now, not inspected yet - no messages or warnings but the steering would auto correct to left and right randomly when straight driving on the highway
