2017 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

Delamination of Uconnect radio causing multiple electronic malfunctions on vehicle, causing a safety issue. Problem has been reproduced and was confirmed by dealership on November 5th 2021. Issue first started in February of 2020.

My vehicle continually stalls when driving or at stop lights. Sometimes it will start back up other times I have to have it towed.

Was towed into shop on 4/13/20 jeep would not start, the dealer said it was the battery. Took to shop on 3/9/21 the jeep was stalling out at red light and would not start back up, it took several times to start on a busy highway! Dealer said oil was low and did a consumption test! On 8/17/21 the jeep stalled at a busy light and would not start back up, I had to call 911 to get a officer behind me so I wouldn’t get hit, I had to tow the jeep back to the dealer . The dealer said the oil was low again . On 10/4/21 the jeep stalled out again at the light and would not start it took me over 5 minutes to get it stated! The only light that came up was the transmission need service now, the dealer look at the jeep and said it was both batteries gone bad! My concern is it keeps stalling out at lights in drive and will not start back up! Which puts myself at risk of being hit from behind! Another thing is when this happens there is no warning lights coming up to let me know what is wrong!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM JEEP COMPLETELY STOPS WITH NO WARNING DUE TO INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE ENGINE IN GEAR (DRIVE) THERE WILL BE A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IF YOU SHIFT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL IT WILL STOP. IT ONLY VIBRATES AT AN IDLE WHILE IN GEAR ONCE YOU START MOVING IT STOPS.

I RAN A STOPLIGHT AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING 25-35 MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS DRIVERS SIDE FRONT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE REVERSING, THE BACK UP CAMERA FAILED TO DISPLAY AN IMAGE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY HAD THE CAMERA REPLACED TWO WEEKS PRIOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AIRPORT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (5751 EAGLE VAIL DRIVE, ORLANDO, FL 32822) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

MY VEHICLE WENT FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL ACCELERATION OR ACCELERATE AND MAKING A STRANGE SOUND WHILE IN MOTION WHILE THE RPM WAS STEADY GOING UP, TO NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL WHILE IN MOTION, TO NOT SHIFTING GEARS, TO NOT DOING ANYTHING IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I FIRST NOTICED ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. I HAD TO PULL ON SIDE OF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS BEING ON SIDE OF THE ROAD AS A WOMAN AT NIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE LIGHTING IN THE AREA. WHEN THE VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL IT WAS PARKED.

MY JEEP COMPASS IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC TWICE IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS BECAUSE IT KEEPS NOT STARTING! I'VE TRIED JUMPING THE BATTERY AND NOTHING. IF IT SITS JUST ONE DAY WITHOUT IT BEING STARTED, IT WILL GO COMPLETELY DEAD AND WON'T TAKE A JUMP. AS OF RIGHT NOW, MY MECHANIC DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.
