2018 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

THIS IS A TWO-YEAR-OLD CAR REQUIRING STRUT REPLACEMENT. NEVER DRIVEN OFF-ROAD AND NEVER DRIVEN ON A FLAT TIRE.

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE INSTANCE AND EACH TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THE INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT IS FOR THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START ON THE FIRST TRY HAVE TO TRY ABOUT 7 TIMES. THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING, AND I KEEP GETTING RANDOM ERROR MESSAGES POPPING UP ON MY SCREEN.

THE U CONNECT DISPLAY PANEL >GPS/ RADIO ETC. SHUTS DOWN BY ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE( IN MOTION) ,THE SCREEN GOES BLACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THEN RESTARTS ITSELF, ALSO WHILE I'M DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH THE ENGINE OR MOTOR ( NOT SURE) MAKES A LOUD SOUND LIKE ITS DOWN SHIFTING ON ITS OWN, ALMOST LIKE ENGINE BRAKING?

SINCE THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT I COMPLAINED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING GETTING WORST BETWEEN 60-80 MILES PER HOUR. I BALANCED, ALIGNED, ROTATED AND AS AN ULTIMATE RESOURCE I CHANGED THE SET OF TIRES AND MOPAR NOR AUTONATION TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR HELP SOLVE MY ISSUE THAT STILL CONTINUES SAYING THE VIBRATION IS THERE BUT THEY DONT KNOW THE REASON, AND IS GETTING WORST EVERY DAY, IT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS.

MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS WILL STALL WHEN STOPPING OR SLOWING DOWN INCREASING MY CHANCES OF CRASHING. IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN 10 MINS TO RESTART AND IT WILL STRUGGLE TO TURN BACK ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TWICE TO DEALERSHIP SHOP AND THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT BUT IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

WHILE IN MOTION THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL INGAGE ON ITS ON CAUSE THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AND STOP, VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY OF IN TRAFFIC. ANOTHER ISSUE WHILE IN MOTION AT RANDOM TIMES THE ' ENGINE' OR TRANSMISSION'? FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS? AND MAKES IT HARD FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND SAYS SERVICE ENGINE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR RESTART SO THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T HEAT UP

2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH AROUND 40,000 MILES WILL SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS 30-70 MPH, LEAVING THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRICAL, AND ENGINE DISABLED UNTIL THE CAR IS PARKED, POWER IS OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES TO THIS VEHICLE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

I TOOK IN MY VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO GET A FIX ON A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE. IT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM WHEN I HAD MY AC ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD MAKE A JERKING MOVEMENT WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. WELL TODAY I GET IN MY CAR TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE DMV AND AS I'M LEAVING THE STREET I LIVE ON MY CAR STOPS WITH NO WARNING. I LET IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN; IT HESITATES TO TURN ON MAKING A WEIRD SOUND THEN TURNS ON ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT STARTS TO DRIVE BUT THEN JERKS AND COMPLETELY STOPS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND IF I KNEW I WOULD HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES WITH IT AND BE FEARFUL THAT I COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO A CRASH OR WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY- I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT!

HAVE HAD TWO ISSUES AND DEALERS CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A FEW MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT, I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SHOP , TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG (NO CODES), NOW FREQUENTLY IT LOOSES POWER LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. AGAIN TAKEN TO SHOP TO BE TOLD THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (NO CODES). THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME BECAUSE OF RECENT EVENTS ITS BAD GAS. I HAVE A STICK SHIFT, SO YOU CAN FEEL THE POWER LOSS IN FIRST AND SWITCHING TO SECOND. SINCE I DONT WANT TO KEEP GOING, I PULL OVER AS SOON AS I CAN AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER A SECOND, I RESTART AND EVERYTHING RUNS FINE. AGAIN, BECAUSE ITS NOT THROWING ANY CODES, THE DEALERSHIP/SERVICE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS FULL TANK OF GAS OR ALMOST EMPTY. NOTE: IF IT STALLS AS IM DRIVING THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT BUYING A NEW CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES.
