2016 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

MY MECHANIC BELIEVE'S I HAVE A SENSOR ISSUE GOING ON WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHER CERTAIN MODEL YEARS AS MINE. EVERY DRIVE I TAKE, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. HE HAS RULED OUT EVERYTHING ELSE, AND ONE OR TWO OF THE SENSORS ARE POINTING TO MY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. AT THIS POINT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT.

TAKATA RECALL MY JEEP WAS T-BONED, BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. BOTH DOORS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, WERE SMASHED IN. THE DOORS WERE SMASHED IN, MEANING THE DOORS WERE INOPERABLE. THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED, OR SHUT. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS, IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. *TT UPDATED 9/19/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG EXPLODED AND BURNED BOTH OF HER HANDS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT SUFFERED CHEST AND ABDOMINAL PAIN FROM THE IMPACT OF THE AIR BAG EXPLOSION, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. ENTERPRISE CAR SALES (501 S. GOVERNOR PRINTZ BOULEVARD, LESTER, PA 19029) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING DOWN 435 HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS AND MY ENGINE STALLED. I HAD TO PULL ON THE SHOULDER TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED ON THURSDAY THE 12TH OF APRIL 2016.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, I.E. AT A STOP SIGN, MY CAR BEGINS TO DRIVE, THEN I HEAR THE ENGINE "REV", AS IF IT IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. IT IS IN DRIVE. THEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR, RESTART AND THEN IT IS OK..IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WOULD SAY IT HAPPENS 1X PER WEEK, SOMETIMES 2X PER WEEK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE "REVVING" BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OF COURSE!

SINCE BEGINNING OF 2018 MY JEEP HAS STALLED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS DRIVING. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER ON 2/15/18. DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE FROM LOW OIL. WHEN HE CHECKED THE OIL THE OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD AND CLEAN. HE RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE OIL ANYWAY. WHICH I DID. AGAIN JEEP STALLED 2 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION AND I WAS DRIVING. ON THE DASHBOARD THE WORD ESC APPEARS AND AFTER I RESTART THE ENGINE IT DISAPPEARS. I HAVE NOT SEEN A PATTERN WETHER IT BE MY SPEED, TURNING OR STOPPING AT A LIGHT. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 4/9/2018. SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED CAR BY PLUGGING IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. ONLY STORED CODES APPEARED. NO CODE TO SHOW PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT MONTH FOR A LOANER IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER REVIEW. DRIVING THIS JEEP IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN AND AT WHAT SPEED AND IF IT WILL TURN OVER.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONS WHEN A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER & IT IS STILL NOT CORRECTED. I HAVE AN OPEN INVESTIGATION WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE TOO. CORPORATE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH ALL 2016 JEEP COMPASS SEAT BELTS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUT STILL EXPECT PEOPLE TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES KNOWING THERE IS A PROBLEM & THEY SAY THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT THE ALARM WILL GO OFF INDICTING THE SEAT BELT NEEDS TO BE FASTENED WHEN IN FACT IT IS. IT WILL ALSO THINK A PERSON HAS A SEAT BELT ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THEY REALLY DON'T. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS & EYEWITNESSES. I HAVE QUESTION THE AIRBAG LINKAGE TO THE SEATBELT MALFUNCTIONING IF IT CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL OR MALFUNCTION & CORPORATE IS UNSURE IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.I HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED TO TRADE THE VEHICLE & CANNOT BECAUSE ALL OTHER DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSE TO TAKE IT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE WHICH I BOUGHT MARCH 2016. AFTER I BOUGHT IT I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WITHIN AN HOUR & A HALF AND INFORMED THEM OF THE SEAT BELT ISSUE AND THEY BLEW IT OFF AND HAVE CONTINUED TO BLOW IT OFF UNTIL CORPORATE GOT INVOLVED BUT BOTH SIDES CAN'T FIX OR FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM & WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK ON TRADE AS THEY HAVE ADMITTED IT IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEATBELT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.' I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL ECONOMY AS IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS ADVERTISED AND WHAT IS POSTED ON CORPORATE'S WEBSITE. I HAVE RECEIPTS AND VIDEO TO SHOW AS PROOF. THE DEALER BLOWS THIS OFF TOO & REFUSES TO LOOK INTO IT. CORPORATE HAS NO COMMENT ON THE FUEL ECONOMY. IT'S ADVERTISED TO GET 30 ON THE HIGHWAY & I BARELY GET 24-25. ALL ISSUES WITH THE SEATBELT HAS BEEN WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 15MPH.

STOPS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS STOPPED AT LEAST 20 TIMES. THERE IS NO LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT IS HARD TO STEER CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

TAKATA RECALL. AT RANDOM MOMENTS WITHOUT HITTING THE WIPPER SWITCH AT ALL THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES IF I TURN MY BLINKER ON WHICH IS A OPPOSITE STICK THEY WILL ACTIVATE. WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN MY LIGHTS WILL FLICKER VERY BRIEFLY. I HAVE HAD NO KIND OF ALTERATIONS DONE TO THE VEHICLE COSMETIC OR ELECTRICAL SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. AND YES EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS IT'S WHILE THE VIC IS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. ALL OF THE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO STOP. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND NOTIFIED THE POLICE. THE POLICE OFFICER ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE IGNITION, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED AFTER THE FOURTH ATTEMPT AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NORTHTOWN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER (2020 NIAGARA FALLS BLVD, TONAWANDA, NY 14150) BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE IN OVER 20 DAYS AND WAS CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
