2018 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

When at a stop sign the car auto shut off. After releasing the break, the car would not restart and would not go into park. After a few minutes of panic, I was able to move the gear shifter to park and after several attempts, the car barely restarted. This also happened a previous time at a stop light.

This 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude has gone through several repairs already; a lot of them concerning the start/stop system and the battery that powers this feature. In the past 4-5 years, it's been replaced three times. In addition, the engine had to be replaced due to high oil burn. As of recent, the vehicle has started displaying "Stop safely. Vehicle with Shut Off Soon" message; especially during highway cruising. This has posed a highly increased safety risk for my family and there seems to be no way for the dealer to address the problem because they cannot replicate it. The vehicle underwent these repairs when covered by the warranty but because of it's mileage, it is no longer eligible. We need

While at a stop light, my vehicle moved into "stop" mode and as the light turned green and I attempted to resume driving the vehicle attempted to go back into "start" mode and shut down completely. I could not press down fully on the break nor turn on my hazards. THe dashboard flickered, but never shut off. Given that this happened at a busy intersection, it was quite dangerous and I was fearful that I would get hurt.

The emergency brake lights up and engages randomly. This has happened several times while driving, causing the vehicle to slow to a stop, and requiring a restart.

The Jeep says High Coolant Temperature even after adding much coolant. Car shuts off while driving on the streets and highways.

When stopping at a red light, the car stalls and is unable to restart for 5-10 minutes. All of the lights and emergency notifications start popping up on the screen. Stating service start/stop. This has happened multiple times in the last month in the middle of intersections.

My Jeep compass has shut down twice in the middle of an intersection. Once it took 5 mins for it to start. The other time it took an hour. When it shut down it would lock everything so you could t put it in neutral to push it

Driving to work and felt like engine locked up. Looked at dashboard and the coolant gauge on left side suddenly spiked and said "Coolant Temperature High." Then 2-3 seconds later the coolant temp gauge went straight back to normal and engine came back on.

Was driving home on the highway and the dash board lights all flashed red then the car would no longer accelerate and the check engine light stayed on. We had a baby in the car and had to pull over using the cars momentum to exit the highway as safely as we could in a dangerous situation. I have just had the entire long block engine replaced in January.

On April 9, 2023, May 19, 2023 June 4, 2023 and today June 7, 2023 as I was driving the car stopped without warning. In both insistence in June I was entering the highway and had to pull over. In the upper right of the dashboard where it states the operation (i.e R for for reserve, d for drive and etc) it changed from "RUN" to "On". I looked down and noticed the emergency parking brake was engaged. I looked at the dashboard and it gave instructions to push and deactivate the parking brakes. The car remained "On" however" I had to turn the car off and restart it. I have called for repair and they can not get to it until the end of June. I am VERY afraid to drive the car and do not have extra cash for a rental. This is my only vehicle and can not be off of work or do my care taking without a car. I only have 30, 000 miles on it as of last week. I have the Mopar warranty and wonder why I can't get a car that I can drive until they figure out what is wrong. It is extremely dangerous if I had gotten on the expressway. I have very concerned.
