2020 JEEP COMPASS- Walden, NY
We drove to the grocery store 5 minutes away. After being in the store for about 15 minutes we returned to go home. We tried starting the car and it wouldn’t start, message “High coolant temperature” came on with orange engine light. We waited 5 minutes, started again and all the warning lights flashed and the car locked up. Nothing would engage, even the brakes. We had to abandon the car in the lot and walk home.

2020 JEEP COMPASS- Webster, NY
Overheated warning light came on. Car was filled with coolant and light went off. One week later, light came on again. Brought to an independent service center who did diagnostic testing and could not find a leak or faulty parts. Appointment made with dealer. Light appeared once more, topped off coolant and light did not appear again when brought in to dealer (about a two week period). Dealer did diagnostics and said the engine was “burned out” and needed to be replaced at a cost of $10,000. Faulty electrical/coolant system led to ruined engine.

While the vehicle is in motion and driving it will stop suddenly and report message coolant temp high. You need to put the vehicle in park and then restart the engine. There is nothing that triggers in the sense of speed as it has happened while driving and while stopped at light. The vehicle has been brought to the dealership and they don’t know what the issue is.

2020 JEEP COMPASS- Rio Rancho, NM
My 2020 compass keeps shutting off on its own. I will be driving and next thing you know it will start saying "key has left vehicle " or a different message saying a long the lines of its over heating. After the over heating message, the car will completely turn off on me making it hard to steer out of the road. I somehow have yo make it safely out of the way to turn it off and restart it. Im just scared one day it will happen on the highway when cars are going by so fast and ill end up getting in a collision. No solution to the problem. The dealership doesn't know whats going on or even have a clue as to what to look for. This is definitely a safety issue and im upset because no one knows how to fix it. I spent my hard earned money to get this vehicle only to have it be a safety issue for me and my kids. Its been going on for months already. Sooner or later this car is going to be the reason I get into an accident.
