  THE CAR STALLS OR DOES NOT START. WHEN WE HIT THE START BUTTON IT CLICKS AND THEN THE DISPLAY SAYS THE CAR IS RUNNING. BY NO MEANS IS THE CAR RUNNING. WE HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ANYTHING. NO GO. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TWO YEARS AGO. IT HAS NOW DECIDED IT WILL NOT START AT ALL.

• 12/29/2023· AIR BAGSCrash

  I was hit from behind on the interstate 2 weeks ago. My Jeep Compass was stopped in heavy traffic on the interstate. A large white pickup truck hit my car first going at least 80 mph. He did not see that traffic was stopped. This caused my jeep to roll and come to a stop on the passenger side on the ground and the driver side in the air. My airbags did deploy, but not on impact. They deployed after the jeep came to a stop on it's side. After impact and after rolling. The airbags were not useful after the jeep stopped moving. This needs to be addressed. I was hurt and did go to the ER. I did not have any passengers, thankfully, they may not have survived that. My seatbelt held me in well, it was hard to get out of it and I have many bruises from the seatbelt. My only issue was the timing of the airbags. They were very late to deploy. Thought you should know. If this happens to others in an accident, many people will be hurt. The vehicle was only inspected by the insurance company to determine the repair costs and then declared a total loss. I am not sure if anyone else inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lights prior to the accident. I tried to upload photos, but it would not work. I do have photos and a police report from this accident.

• 12/29/2022· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  Vehicle warning lights for Service 4wd, ABS and the A! with arrow flashed on. The vehicle lost the ability to accelerate while turning at the stop light. Coasted to side of the road. Powered Vehicle off then back on. Stop/Start error message flashed on screen "start/stop unavailable Service Stop/Start system" Oil and coolant levels are good. Only error message remains is the stop/Start system.

• 12/29/2021· ENGINE

  Engine sputtering, stalling, then shutting down during intersection turns while trying to move from a stationary position, etc. This started happening only recently during colder temperatures here in Michigan, December 2021, and has only happened at the second intersection on a declined roadway, and only if the vehicle engine has not been "warmed up". This issues has now occurred 4 times at the same declining intersection. My daughter drives this vehicle and transports herself and my 3 grandchildren!

• 12/29/2019· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  I HAVE HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUTTON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR JUST CRANKING THE VEHICLE. ALSO TONIGHT MY RADIO AND USB PORT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LIKE I HAD TURNED MY CAR OFF, WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH. THEN IT TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF LIKE I HAD JUST TURNED MY CAR ON, I WAS STILL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

• 12/28/2020· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  DRIVER SIDE WIPER BLADE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM, RESULTING IN WIPER ARM SMACKING BACK AGAINST WINDSHIELD AND CRACKING GLASS. HAD TO GET WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND NEW WIPER BLADES. VERY DANGEROUS. PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED REPLACEMENT BLADE ALSO FELL OFF DURING USE DURING RAIN STORM ON CHRISTMAS EVE, LEAVING ME STRANDED ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. WHY IS THIS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL WITH 2019 /20 MODELS? VERY VERY DANGEROUS.

• 12/28/2019· ENGINE

  ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF AND GONE INTO A 'LIMP MODE' WHILE I AM DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHT ACTIVATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN MORE THAN ONE MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENTS. THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGES AND I AM UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THEREAFTER. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED ON BOTH OCCASIONS AND HAD NO IDES WHAT WAS WRONG. COME TO FIND OUT, THERE WAS MINIMAL OIL IN THE ENGINE DESPITE BEING DEALER MAINTAINED IN A TIMELY FASHION AND WELL BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS DUE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR SERVICING WHERE THEY EXPLAINED THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ISSUE IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL WITH THE 2.4 LITER MULTI-AIR 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. THE PCV VALVE WAS REPLACED AND THEY STARTED TO MONITOR OIL USAGE VIA AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST EVERY 500 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY THE PCV VALVE REPLACEMENT DID NOT PROVE TO BE THE FIX AS THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED ONCE AGAIN SOMETIME AROUND 2500 MILES INTO THE OIL CHANGE. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND RELY ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET ME TO WORK AS I AM A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. I AM SHOCKED THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AFTER READING ONLINE JUST HOW MANY CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL ENGINE. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED AND IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS, IF ACTION IS NOT TAKEN. I WAS MERGING ONTO A 4 LANE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH NO SHOULDER THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FRIGHTENING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IS A DETRIMENT TO HIGHWAY AND PERSONAL SAFETY. MY SALES ASSOCIATE AT THE DEALERSHIP IS ALSO ALARMED AT JUST HOW MANY 2018 JEEP COMPASS' WITH THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE ARE HAVING THIS UNEQUIVOCAL HAZARDOUS ISSUE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ASAP.

• 12/27/2019· ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  THIS JEEP CANNOT GO 3,000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. EVEN WHEN USING A FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL THAT HAS A LIFE SPAN OF 5,000 MILES, THE "LOW OIL PRESSURE" WARNING COMES ON. IF NOT SERVICED, THE VEHICLE STALLS (USUALLY WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION!). UPON TOWING IT TO A SERVICE STATION, THEY STATE THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT, ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT JUST NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. SO, INSTEAD OF USING THE "MILEAGE TO NEXT OIL CHANGE" STICKER, I HAVE TO HAVE THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED TO ESTIMATE WHEN IT WILL STALL AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.

  My car is constantly burning about 4 quarts of oil in 2 months. It stalled on me 2 months ago, 2 months after an oil change because there was no oil in my car and I do not have a leak. it is a safety issue if my motor blows up or my car just stalls on me in the middle of the highway. I have had it inspected to see if there were any leaks. I only got a low oil pressure signal after I would make a turn.

  Warning lamp:"stop safely. vehicle will shut off soon" the car will shut off while driving. The warning is not sufficient enough to ignore that fairly new cars are shutting down on the road for no reason. There are numerous complaints about this same issue and I am wondering what is it going to take for jeep to take accountability and fix this. We should not have to pay for this repair. Resolution unknown. We are supposed to guess. No information is offered through a diagnostic check. As you can see this vehicle has 46,000 miles on it. Regular maintenance. Serviced at the dealer numerous times.

  While I’m at a stop sign or light, and I let my foot off the break, the high coolant temp light comes on and the car stalls. This has happened at least 30 times over the last 3 years. Today I was almost killed in an accident crossing a busy intersection because I stalled in the middle of the crossing after stopping at a stop sign. I’ve brought the jeep to dealerships and shops and none of them can recreate the event so they don’t know what’s wrong. They’ve checked everything that they can think to check. I’ve seen many complaints online of this happening to others with no resolve. What will it take? Someone is going to get killed. Sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes for the car to start again. Other times I have to have it towed. Today it took about 10 minutes with a lineup of cars behind me.

  The auxiliary battery has failed at least 3 times (2018) and been replaced, as well as the main battery. When this happens the car is dead in the water, even the SiriusXM Guardian controls on the rear view mirror do not respond leaving you in dangerous situations. You are unable to contact emergency services for a tow, or emergency vehicles. The dealership said it was faulty batteries but has had to replace them one more time after replacing the ones they say were faulty by manufacturer. The dealership wants additional money for tracing the issue but the car is just out from warranty by a few months. Prior to this, the dealership did not trace to find any shorts and the batteries were confirmed to be malfunctioning. There are no error codes found when this occurs. Dealership has confirmed MANY Jeep Compass have had the batteries replaced.
