  SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALER, ALL THE FROM TIRES MAKING NOISES WHEN I PRESS THE BREAK TO STOP, I SPOKE WITH THE DEALER BUT HE DON'T WANT TO HELP ME OUT. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT SHOWING UP SINCE I GOT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TOO IS NOT WORKING PERFECTLY AND THE AC SYSTEM IS NOT TOO GOOD.

• 12/28/2022· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  My car stalls while driving often. I’ve also experienced my car shutting off while driving a few times. It sometimes shows a red lightning bolt. I am very scared for my life and the lives of other drivers while I drive this vehicle because I never know if or when my car will stall in the middle of me driving at speeds above 50 miles per hour. The car will usually stall for about 10-15seconds and then power back on, but sometimes the car just shuts off and slows down so I have to pull over because it wont accelerate since the car just shut off. After pulling over, I wait bout 10 minutes and turn the car on and it’s fine. I took it to a mechanic multiple times and they can’t find the issue. They said they can only see what I’m talking about if the dash shows the check engine light but my check engine light is not on. This vehicle is not safe and I’m so afraid of the car shutting off mid driving. This started 2 years ago but the shut offs and stalls have been more frequent this year. Mechanics kept telling me it was probably spark plugs and we’ve changed those and the coils more than 6 times.

  The vehicle just shuts off while in gear and in motion. Very dangerous. Lights come on (engine light, break light…) for a brief second before it randomly shuts off. It seems like the computer goes out, because on re start, the clock reset to 12:00 and there are no check engine lights on. It has happened several times over the past few hundred miles. An Internet search will show similar problems for other Jeep owners with no resolution. Obviously a defect.

  WHILE GETTING OFF OF PM SHIFT, AROUND 2330, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ONLY 3 MILES INTO DRIVING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MILES AN HOUR IN A 40MPH ZONE. THE LIGHTNING BOLT FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS FLASHING, THEN STOPPED, THEN MY CHECK ENGINE AND MY ANTI SKID(?) WAS LIT UP. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET, PUT IN PARK ONLY TO HAVE MY ENGINE IDLE AT 2K RPM. THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY PHONE AND A FRIEND WITH SOME CAR KNOWLEDGE. TOLD ME TO LEAVE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. TURNED ON AND ONCE I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME THAT TOOK ME 45MIN BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN 15. A DRIVE THAT USUALLY WOULD TAKE ME 15 MINUTES TOOK MUCH LONGER. GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT HIT 2X BY 18 WHEELERS COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS ONLY 27 DEGREES OUT (WITHOUT THE CHICAGO WIND CHILL)AND WOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT PROBABLY 30+ MINUTES FOR A TOW OR RIDE TO PICK ME UP HAD IT NOT RESTARTED. BEYOND LIVID THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND NOTHING BEING DONE. GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS FIX, RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AWESOME!

  am submitting this complaint regarding a serious safety issue with my 2014 Jeep Compass. While driving, the vehicle feels as though the passenger-side front wheel is going to snap off at any moment. The sensation and noise appear to come from the wheel or axle area, and the instability is strong enough that the vehicle does not feel safe to operate. I have taken the vehicle to multiple mechanics for inspections and test drives. Despite these efforts, no one has been able to locate the source of the problem or identify any faulty components. Although the mechanics report finding nothing wrong, the issue remains and makes the vehicle extremely concerning to drive on public roads. Because the problem affects steering stability and overall safety, I believe this may be a potential defect. I am requesting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review this issue, determine whether other drivers have reported similar complaints, and consider whether an investigation or recall may be necessary. I can provide additional information, videos, photographs, or repair documentation if needed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST WAS IN THE RAISED POSITION WHILE I WAS IN TRANSIT. I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND REACHED UP TO PUSH THE HEADREST DOWN TO THE LOWER POSITION. I PRESSED THE SLIDE BUTTON ON THE BASE OF THE HEADREST WITH ONE HAND AND PUSHED DOWN ON THE HEADREST WITH THE OTHER HAND. THE HEADREST BLEW APART HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHEN IT DID SO. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE HEADREST TO POP IN THAT MANNER. I DID NOT HIT THE HEADREST BUT PUSHED FIRMLY TO TRY AND LOWER IT TO A MORE COMFORTABLE POSITION.

THIS HEAT SHIELD IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PREVENTING ANY HEAT TO DAMAGE THE GAS TANK DIRECTLY ABOVE. THE BRACKETS THAT HELD UP THE HEAT SHIELD APPEARED TO BE OF VERY POOR QUALITY AND WOULD TEND TO FAIL FROM MY OBSERVATION.

I researched and saw that the drainage tubes were too small and tend to clog up and Jeep does not inform the customer of this. When researching further this has happened over and over and no recall has ever been started.

  The activated headrest on the passenger side popped out randomly. The headrest is supposed to come out during a collision only. Researching this issue I have found that this is a common problem. This is obviously a safety problem as the spontaneous release could cause neck injuries, or in the case of an accident it may not work as intended. There was no warning of this in advance. The car is available for inspection, but I am now concerned for anyone riding in the passenger seat. I believe the same mechanism is on the drivers side also, so this may be an issue for that side also.
