2019 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WORKED AS DESIGNED. THE AUTO START/STOP WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUNCOAST CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (8755 PARK BLVD N, SEMINOLE, FL 33777, (727)393-4621) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 556.

I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVE LASTNIGHT JUST LIKE EVERY NIGHT; AND I WALKED OUT THIS MORNING AND THE BACK END OF MY CAR WAS IN THE STREET! IT ROLLED BACK MORE THAN HALF OF MY DRIVEWAY! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YES IT SNOWED HERE IN NJ HOWEVER THERE WAS ROCK SALT (A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT ON MY DRIVEWAY - TOWNSHIP GRADE) THERE WAS A VERY LIGHT AMOUNT OF SNOW NOTHING CRAZY THAT WOULD'VE CAUSED THIS. MY DRIVEWAY IS NOT A HILL OR HARSH SLOPPING AT ALL. I'M CONCERNED FOR NOT ONLY MY SAFETY AND OF COURSE FOR MY CAR, BUT WHAT IF THAT ROLLED FURTHER?... WHAT IF IT HIT SOMEONE WALKING THEIR DOG.. OR ANOTHER VEHICLE PASSING BY?

I BOUGHT MY 2019 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED FROM A DEALERSHIP ON 11/18/2020. SINCE THAT DAY IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES. THREE TIMES BECAUSE THE START /STOP KEPT COMING ON SAYING TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND BECAUSE IT STOPPED ON ME AT A STOP SIGN AND WOULD NOT GO, HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND IT CRAKED AGAIN TELLING ME START/STOP HAS MALFUNCTIONED! TODAY1/26/2021 ALL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON IT LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AND TOLD ME TO STOP HAVE ENGINE SERVICED NOW. SHUT DOWN WOULD NOT CRANK HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE TO DELEARSHIP. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THESE CARS ARE A PIECE OF CRAP AND JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE NOTICE!! JEEP SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SALE A VEHICLE WITH SO MANY KNOWN PROBLEMS!! SO SORRY I LEFT HONDA FOR THIS!!!!!!!!

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS NOW THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS ONCE IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY- THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND STARTS TO DECELERATE- YOU LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND THE CAR IS HARD TO CONTROL- THE LAST INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT- HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY ARE BASICALLY JUST THROWING DARTS AT TRYING TO FIX IT. THE FIRST FIX WAS JUST A COMPUTER UPDATE, THE SECOND FIX WAS A THERMOSTAT AND HOUSING THE THIRD FIX WAS AN AUXILIARY BATTERY?

SO MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REALLY SLUGGISH. HALF THE TIME IT DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE, AND WHEN IT DOES IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS. WHEN GETTING ON THE FREEWAY MY VEHICLE WILL GET TO THE SPEED OF 50 MPH AND MY RPM READING BETWEEN 4000-5000. I HAVE TRIED TO LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, MY SPEED GOES DOWN BUT RPM STAYS THE SAME. THIS IS REALLY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO GET ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 70, AND YOU CAN ONLY GO 50-55. I AM A FIRST RESPONDER, SOME TIMES I USE MY PERSONAL VEHICLE TO RESPOND TO INCIDENTS, DUE TO LOCATION.

FROM PURCHASE DATE THE BRAKES FELT BAD. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND 3 TIMES TOTAL TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GRINDING AND BRAKE GRABBING AND TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG OR NO RECALLS, SO THEY DIDN'T WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ONGOING ISSUE.

WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IT WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT START. THE CAR TURNS ON AS IF IT WILL START BUT DOESN'T COMPLETELY CRANK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR THAT IT HAS NOT CRANK. IT HAS ALSO TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHILE AT A RED LIGHT AND DID NOT TURN BACK ON. THIS IS A PROBLEM I SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS SIMILAR VEHICLE.

MAKING A TURN AROUND AND THE CAR WENT OVER THE CURB BARELY AT 20 MPH OR SLOWER AND THEN THE CAR BECAME IN DRIVABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE RACK AND PINION IS BROKEN AND THAT JEEP HAS A 700+ PEOPLE WAITING LIST FOR THE PART BECAUSE THERE IS A BUG IN THE PART AND THEY REFUSED TO RELEASE IT TO THE PEOPLE SO NOW I DON'T HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE ALL BECAUSE I RAN OVER A CURB GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP MARCH 2019 AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER THE RADIO STARTS PRESSING BUTTONS BY ITSELF. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE NEXT THING TO GO WRONG IS THE AUTO START STOPS WORKING. I GOT STUCK AT SEVERAL RED LIGHTS AND ALMOST REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES. I TOOK IT BACK TO DODGE AND THEY STILL SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND IT DIDNT THROW ANY CODES AT ADVANCED AUTO. THEN LASTLY, IT FINALLY GOES OUT. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF ON MY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT JUST STOPS. BREAKS SEIZED. LIGHTS FLICKERING OFF AND ON. CAR IS REGISTERED AS ON BUT WONT GO ANYWHERE. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS NOW AND IT STILL WONT START NOR EVEN SHOW A LIGHT ON THE DASH. NOW THAT I ONLY HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY LEFT THEY ARE NKW SAYING I HAVE TO PAY 3I FOR A NEW ECU OUT OF POCKET. HOW IS THIS FAIR. I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE SO I WOULDNT HAVE THESE ISSUES. I STILL OWE 29K ON SOMETHING I CANT AMUSE EVER AGAIN.
