2018 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. INTERMITTENTLY. TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY JERKS INTO GEAR. INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL RESTART. KEY FOBS (MAIN FOB AND SPARE) INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT FUNCTION. (BATTERIES ARE NOT THE ISSUE)

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. EACH TIME WHEN I'M CALLED TO PICK UP THE CAR AND AM TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED/REPAIRED, I DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE STOP/START FEATURE CONKS OUT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS IN THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE TRULY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OR IS IT JUST A FAULTY LIGHT. THE START/STOP FEATURE DOESN'T ALARM ME AS MUCH, BUT IT ADDS TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE ENGINE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL ALL START TO FLASH, CANNOT ACCELERATE CAR, CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AS BEST I CAN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR EATING UP OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE PROBLEM IS TEMPORARILY FIXED BY ADDING A QUART OF ENGINE OIL. THIS OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING. THERE IS NO 'LOW OIL' LIGHT THAT COMES ON. I HAVE YOUNG KIDS AND I FEEL STUCK WITH THIS LEMON. I ALSO HEAR A LOUD RATTLING COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, UNDER THE HOOD BUT CANNOT SEE ANYTHING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, IT CAUSED MY BATTERY TO COMPLETELY DIE. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE.

TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF - I HAD TO STOP COMPLETELY AND CUT IT BACK ON THEN MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIKE CAME ON. ONCE WE GOT THE VEHICLE HOME AND CHECKED THE OIL WE REALIZED IT WAS VERY DANGEROUSLY LOW AND THIS WAS IN BETWEEN 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGES ... WE HAD TO ADD OIL TO GET IT TO THE MECHANIC SHOP JUST TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN SINCE AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP

ALIGNMENT WENT OUT ON CAMBER, NO FACTORY ADJUSTMENT IS AVAILABLE. THE CHOICE IS WEAR TIRES UNEVEN AND RISK A BLOW OUT OR PUT IN AFTER MARKET ADJUSTMENTS. ALIGNMENT IS A NORMAL PART OF THE MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE, NOT MAKING THE ADJUSTMENTS AVAILABLE IS WRONG AND MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT GREATER COST TO THE CONSUMER.

THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. INTERIOR ELECTRICAL STOPS WORKING FIRST. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY AND ON A TOWN SIDE STREET. THE STRUT AND SWAY BAR LINKAGE HAVE GONE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.

JEEP HAS STOPPED COLD FOR TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK WHILE IN DRIVE. TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE SECOND TIME. I AM AT 76,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF GARDEN CITY (283 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, (516) 336-4712) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

THE TRANSMISSION JERKED WHICH FELT LIKE IT WENT IN REVERSE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD

FOR MONTHS MY JEEP HAS HAD ISSUES. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WILL LIGHT UP WARNING ME OF ISSUES. THE JEEP HAS STOPPED DEAD WHILE DRIVING AND NO WARNING . THERE ARE TIMES I START THE JEEP AN LIGHTS COME SO I TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND THE LIGHTS GO AWAY. OTHER TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS COME ON. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH BATTERIES, A PLUG UNDER THE HOOD, AND THE PCM MODULE WAS REPAIRED BY A DEALERSHIP. TODAY I WAS DRIVING AN ALL LIGHTS CAME ON, THE JEEP SHUT OFF, AND IT TOOK ALMOST 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE JEEP WOULD START. I HAD IT PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE TODAY AND THEY SUGGESTED TAKE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO CODES. THESE ARE THE CODES C2502, P2504, AMD P2AF5. I WAS TOLD I NO LONGER AM COVERED UNDER WARRANTY HOWEVER THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND ITS A 2018 JEEP. *TR
