I have my 2018 jeep compass for literally 10 months now not even a year. bought the car in april of 2019 and it is now january 2020. i've taken my car approximately 2 times to the shop for routine maintenance. any time i put the car in reverse it jerks as if something underneath the car is about to fall out. when placed in drive it goes into some sort of limp mode where it does not want to go this has happened to me about 3 times now. twice in traffic! where i'm stalled out on the highway waving for people to go around. an absolute nightmare. as of last night i was parked at a grocery store about to pull off when the car jerked and shut off again. when i tried to turn the car back on the dash light started to go hay wire and the engine light popped on with the transmission light dinging red that the transmission needs servicing when i put the car in drive again it went no where.this is a huge burden in my life right now this is my only transportation to get my children and i back and forth from school, work, church etc. and i can't even rely on it this is frustrating this car is only 2 years old and has this many major problems with it. i'm literally afraid to drive this car anywhere anymore. i can't believe that this issue hasn't been recalled yet it's soo many complaints on this vehicle. i literally look up everyday to see if this issue has been recalled or if i've received a notice in the mail of this particular recall and nothing! this is not right at all and something needs to be done asap
Jeep compass problems with stalling and shutting off while driving
Since i've purchased the vehicle the emergency brakes comes on randomly. i can literally be driving and come to a stop sign and it comes on. this is unsafe and can cause others to hit you from behind. my car has also for the second time in one year had check engine and transmission light to come on. this should not take place with a brand new car.
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.
My hill brake activates while i'm in traffic, making u-turns, and driving. i took it to the dealership in january and they couldn't replicate the problem so they couldn't resolve it. they had it from january 25th to february 14th. now my car isn't starting and the hill brake is activating. i got a new battery and an oil change on monday, december 23rd.
Well - this all started back in april of 2019 - when i took my jeep in - it would stall in the middle of a turn . around 5000 miles - now this is a lease vehicle - so i took the jeep in explained to the service manager at ray laethem what the vehicle was doing and he checked the oil and there was no oil in the engine - so we started an oil consumption test - nothing after that was recorded correctly - every time i took the jeep back a the 1000 miles the oil was low and they would say come back every 500 miles - til the 3rd time i took it in and the dealership said there was no oil used - and it was a quart low - i did check it before i took it in - it was low a quart low -also took to a different dealership northland jeep , chrysler . they also stated this is normal for the engine that is in my jeep. so i took the jeep back again to northland - requested to speak to the service manager - was told he is not in - so that they could check the oil for the oil consumption test. the service guy stated we don't do that . we put that you request an oil consumption test they did the oil change - so again nothing recorded correctly - my jeep uses oil ( "its normal) , it uses a quart of oil every 1000 miles .the case is closed - problem not fixed
I purchased my jeep compass new. since i have had it, i have taken my 2018 jeep compass in for repair due to loss of oil several times. the loss of oil was first noticed before the first 2,000 miles on the car because of a ticking noise coming from the engine. this car has even stopped on me on while traveling out of town and the engine light comes on along with other lights. in this particular instance it did start back up eventually. when it did, the engine light stayed on the whole time. recently, (11/16/19), while driving the whole car shuts down in the middle of the street and the emergency brakes lock up. the car will not budge. in this instance the car had to be towed to the dealership. there have been so many issues with this car that i do not feel safe driving it. these issues seem to be completely random and without warning.
Purchased at the dealership @ 5k..engine stalled @ 18k miles as i was backing out of my driveway.. checked and there was no oil on stick.. had to buy oil twice just to take my jeep to be serviced and have an 'oil consumption test' performed multiple times, was told everything was fine.. 11k miles later..'service engine,' 'service transmission,' flashes on dash. no oil on stick within 400 miles of needing an oil change.. engine won't turnover/start. stranded with <30k miles & haven't had the vehicle a year.
What it rains the water comes into my trunk through the rear seatbelts.
It has shut down on me 4 times while driving. the emergency brake comes on by itself. the low oil pressure light came on the one time it shut down on me mid turn. which is not possible for low oil pressure. it usually shuts down while going 25 to 35 mph on a city street but has shut down on me while merging onto the expressway.

While driving my car and making a turn on a busy intersection in chicago my car completely shut off. it appears to be on, but i cannot accelerate. i turn the car off, there's a stall before my car completely restarts. no lights have come on at all. when the car finally comes back on, the emergency brake is activated and it takes some time to get it to turn off. i am not due for an oil change for at least another 2k miles.
The engine start stop technology is malfunctioning and causing the engine to turn off at unsafe times, after coming to a complete stop at an intersection when the vehicle begins to move again it makes it to the center of the intersection and the engine turns off and is difficult to start back up. the problem also seems to be linked to a issue with the engine over consuming oil.
Shortly after moving the vehicle while driving at times the engine will completely turn off leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate. the only way to turn the vehicle back on is to come to a complete stop place the vehicle in park and turn it back on. vehicle just hit 7000 miles complications started 2 weeks ago and it has happened 5x now
Buyers please be aware. aesthetically this vehicle is awesome. however, it is highly concerning when a vehicle a little over a year old has massive system failures.. my issues with the jeep compass trailhawk is recently while driving the vehicle would automatically shut down in the midst of driving. all systems would be completely dead. when i press the button to start the car it would nod never start back up. what makes matters worse is that when the system is dead there is no power no lights and i am unable to even steer the vehicle off the road. yesterday was the final straw for me . i almost lost my life on the highway when the car made a funny jerking sound and then all of a sudden it went dead in the middle of the road with other vehicle traveling at least 60 to 75 mph. i really thought i was going to die. i had to come out of the car instinctively i used the key fob to close the door and used the valet key to open the car and quickly went back in the vehicle to try to restart one the first try i was not successful. it took me 4 tries to finally get the vehicle started. this was again in the middle of the highway with my amber lights on. eventually, when the vehicle started up again and i continued to drive home once again when i exited the highway and this time came to a complete stop the vehicle went dead again!! this time went i put it in park it started back up again but when i put it in drive to move off the vehicle lost power again and was barely moving . this issue needs to be addressed by the manufacturer as lives will be lost if similar situations are being reported as i have seen. nice looking compact suv but i do not trust this vehicle anymore hence why i will be switching.
I was at a stop light when my auto stop came on. when i let off the brake the car did start back up. i finally got it to start after a minute. soon after i was approaching a stop sign and the car automatically initiated my emergency brake before i even fully stopped. another issue occurred after starting my car up my screen was faded out and after driving down the street for a mile or 2 my screen went completely black and rebooted itself.
My service transmission and check engine light comes on and off every few weeks i took it to my local jeep dealer they told me multiple times there was nothing wrong with my 2018 compass when i know indeed it is i smell coolant all the time they say they don't my engine and trans light comes in and off they have no code i caught it on video they both lights were on and i was asked if i'd like to bring it back in i said yes the day i go in of course the lights are off but now they have a code he says to me oh your transmission just needs to be updates but the codes that i got back stated that it was the torque converter
While stopped at a stop light auto start/stop turned the car off as normal. a few moments later the brake light illuminated on the dash and the electronic emergency brake turned on. i released my foot from the brake to see if the car would start back up it would not. the dash read out in park and start. i attempted however car would not start. the emergency brake would not turn off either. i had to call road side assistance for a tow. vehicle only has 11,400 miles. the car is at the dealership i am waiting on their investigation.
I got into my vehicle when a pull out of my parking spot the vehicle shut off. i put the vehicle in neutral with the parking brake on a tried to start it. the vehicle would crank but not start. i attempted to start the vehicle several times until it finally turned on.
Air conditioning suddenly starts blowing hot air. does not resolve by turning the car off and on again. resolves on its own after several hours. this has happened at least 4 times.
The auto start stop feature has functioned improperly and after tapping my brakes at a stoplight and turning onto a ramp to get on the highway, i went to take off and the car died. the parking brake light came on and i have never used it. i restarted my car only for it to stall out and die10 mins later on the highway making it very hard to steer. i had to pull over and re-start the car again. i hate this start stop function. it doesnt always start back up immediately after letting off the brakes. almost caused me to wreck
While driving down road a bolt fell out from under the steering column and dropped on my foot. when turning the steering wheel to the left. you can hear a popping noise and steering wheel lifts upward.
I was stopped for a red light at a busy multi lane intersection. when light turned green i accelerated and nothing happened. i turned vehicle off then on by stop/start button several times until vehicle engaged. very scary. it just basically stalled. several other things were affected such as instrument cluster indications that were never on before and will not turn off when i go on/off options for those displays. running lights also suddenly will not work. upsetting to say the least. very dangerous. i am not sure but think the start/start feature may be involved as i had it on. it was around 90 degrees outside temp. vehicle has about 11,000 miles on it.
When vehicle is in motion it will stall. this has happened on four separate occasions where i was stranded in the middle of the road amidst traffic, in intersections, and once on a freeway. on one occasion i was braking to stop at an off ramp of an interstate. another time i was turning on a residential street. the other two times i was in motion on a straight road. in all these instances i received alerts that my auto start needed servicing even though the dealership just looked at it and cleared the error/code. it was a miracle i wasn't hit when these events occurred. the event happens in this order: gas pedal stops working, so the car begins to coast but cannot accelerate. all the engineer warning lights pop up at once. car begins to beep (i assume because of the warning lights), steering wheel locks, preventing you from coasting your car to the shoulder, then the emergency brake engages so you are stuck where you are. you are unable to start the car or move the car and you are stuck exactly where it died. again, this has happened on the freeway, in the middle of intersections, and while on a regular road. without warning - the car just dies. after about 10 minutes you can start the car up again without issue, but you have to wait until the car lets you do it and you never have a warning for when it's going to happen again to put yourself in a safe position on the road. it's a danger to the driver and surrounding vehicles. honestly, it's terrifying.
I take my vehicle in for regular oil changes, however, on two occasions they service technicians have notified me that my oil is almost completely out. i have been getting my car services at the jeep dealership. for some reason, my car appears to be consuming ridiculous amounts of oil and they don't know why. the just keep telling me to come back to get another oil change. i'm going through several quarters full synthetic quarts every thousand or so miles. the vehicle is not leaking oil anywhere; as i park in the same spots at work and at home and have seen nothing leaking. i have been notified from the dealership that this is a *separate and unrelated issue* to the electronic issues that are causing the vehicle to stall without notice, while in motion.
Car has a known mechanical defect in the car causing it to burn oil at an accelerated rate. causes the car to stall and lose steering brakes, and all computer operated systems. service bulletin # 09-007-18 rev a. was failed to be disclosed at time of purchase causing vehicle to be unsafe to be driven. have happen around feb 2019, july 2019 and again in september of 2019. car was bought in the end of november of 2018. *dt *as
After using the remote start and getting in the vehicle i was able to place the vehicle in drive without pressing on the brake or pressing the start/stop button to allow the wheel to move freely, in turn allowing the vehicle to roll forward on a hill without being fully turned on thus not allowing for the power steering to work and the steering wheel locked in position. when in drive the vehicle would not start, after placing it back into park the vehicle would still not start but continued to be able to roll forward when my foot was not on the brake. the vehicles start/stop was completely disabled for for up to 3 minutes then the car very suddenly shook, powered down, and i was able to place it in park and restart the car via the start/stop button and normal operation was resumed.
Every time i am driving my car my car will do what i call a "spaz out" moment. the dash warning lights all come on and a loud ding begins. my car dash lights up like a christmas tree and each notice pops up: transmission needs service, 4 wheel drive needs serviced. traction system needs service, emergency break needs service. then they all go off the check engine light remains on. i am very worry for my safety and other if this vehicle locks the wheels while driving on the high way. most my driving is on the high way at the speed of 70mphs.
Oil consumption low 2 quarts at 3500 miles currently doing oil consumption test replacing one quart of oil every 1000 miles. concern is the dealer said auto shutoff no matter where i'm at if oil level drops to low. shouldn't have to worry about this with new vehicle. driving grandchildren to schools
New jeep wouldn't start with 1700 miles on it.failure light came on dashboard.while on the road car dashboard said" failure,vehicle will shut off , go to a safe place" it died and at least i made it to a parking lot. terrifying experience! had to have it towed to dealer.i have had it one month. dealership said it may be an oil module problem that is recurring and it will keep happening! so much for buying a "safe" new car. i am disgusted. they told me to report it to chrysler. they see this happening a lot! why not inform consumers before purchase? i am afraid to even get it back. i don't want to drive it.
I was driving to get on a highway just as my car unexpectedly stopped driving, i had no control over the car, and my car just stopped. i had trouble starting it up and had to wait a few moments for it to start again, but the car did not feel the same when i started to drive.
Consumer bought car in august 2018 (memorial weekend). upon obtaining the car, consumer noticed that car appeared to attempt to stall when break; however, the engine would kick back in and not stall. last week (end of november 2018) consumer was driving the car and stopped at an individuals home to pick them up when the car completely shut off with the stop/start system warning light came on. consumer turned off vehicle and restarted the car; light went off and car ran as normal. consumer was driving the car today 12/5/2018 when stopped at a red light the car stalled and restarted, putting it into a "power saving mode" where the radio did not work and parking break light came on along with transmission light, and start/ stop light. upon getting the car to the destination (half a mile) the engine light illuminated. consumer turned off car and attempted to turn it back on. car instruments turned on; however, would was observed clicking and would not turn over. the transmission light is still on and the start/stop is illuminated. i have read many of the "complaints" for this vehicle and they are consistent with the same things i have been experiencing.
When first starring vehicle and driving the vehicle stalls. this has happened to me twice in the last month. i started my car. then started to back out of parking space. i put the car in drive got to driveway and intersection of main street when the car decided to die/stall all lights where on though. the second time i was driving and turned the corner when the car stalled. luckily no one was behind me. i pushed the start button and started right up both times
Vehicle turns off and says key fob has left. vehicle. chrysler unable to fix issues or address it. major safety concern
The car was in motion and in a middle of the street turn off, when the engine was checked it didn't have no engine oil on it. the car is brand new not even 5000 miles on it. didn't show any warning before hand making it a safety issue for those like me traveling with children and the car stoping out of nowhere.
When idling in park, threw a check engine and service transmission light. when attempting to shift into drive, vehicle roughly slams into gear and is unable to switch gears once driving.

In october of this year 2018. i bought a new jeep compass. i complaint to the dealership about. i was told there nothing they can do. every time you stop for a traffic light or come up on to a stop sign. the vehicle stall out. when remove your foot from the brake. it will restart. this can't be good for the starter. it's accident waiting happen. this is a safety issue i have with this vehicle. there should be recall on this vehicle to fix this before the people in this vehicle are injury or kill. when what!!!! if you read all of complaints about this vehicle. there are 94 complaints.
Radio has white lines going down and makes it impossible to see the screen. this is a big issue because it controls lighting of the vehicle climate and most important the rear back camera for when backing up. more than 3 months since i took it for warranty and still no answer from jeep
1 unable to turn the radio volume up or down. turned car off and on. would not turn off accessory mode. message stating car was on. picture to be provided. turned on and off multiple times. problem was corrected next time i started it. 2 while driving accessory deactivated. would not turn on. problem corrected itself hours after leaving it parked. picture of error message to be provided. 3 my jeep was unable to stop at a yellow light. stopped in middle of interscetion, almost a crash. rainy weather.
Vehicle shuts down as i'm driving. pedals become hard and lights / warnings come on.
This car burns oil which i was not told about by the dealer when purchasing. that in and of itself is a problem (i have since been told to check it every 1000 miles even though the manual says it can go 7500 w/o changing), but the real problem is when it gets low the car just turns off. no warning. luckily i was in a residential area when it happened, although it was an intersection. i was with my 3 year old and required help from a passerby to help push it to the curb. i could have been driving on a freeway with no shoulder as often happens on highway 1 where i live. this feature is dangerous! somebody is going to get hurt because of it. it is currently in the shop for some other problem where it wont start, which is also dangerous in it's own way.
Upon starting vehicle and shifting into drive, vehicle has started rolling in reverse on the incline eventhough the transmission is in drive. upon inspection of the shift indicator, the "d" drive position indicator has been flashing and transmission is not engaged, and the vehicle is freewheeling . per dealer, computer shows no indication of the problem or code information about it. returned fron dealer service on 09-01-2018 at approximately 10:30 hours. this has happened on at least three (3) occasions.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. on several occasions, while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the auto stop/start feature failed to operate. the contact stated that there was a delay between the accelerator pedal being depressed and the vehicle responding. additionally, the back-up camera independently activated while the vehicle was being driven. also, there was an abnormal burning odor and steam coming from the front of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to ganley chrysler dodge jeep ram (310 broadway ave, bedford, oh 44146, (440) 232-2121) to be diagnosed on several occasions. the contact was informed that the tcm, ecm, and pcm needed to be updated. the vehicle was repaired, but the failures recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 27.
I purchased a a brand new jeep compass and 12 days later it went haywire. i was driving in my neighborhood at a speed of no more than 20-35mph. the engine light illuminated and mpg on speedometer read 99mph then skipped to11mph and i was practically at a stand still. i was able to capture video of this. the next day the engine light was off and i figured i'd take it in the following business day (monday). well i didnt make it to monday. the very next day, sunday, the engine light illuminated again only this time then whiile driving on the highway. there was a message across the digital dash stating, "please pull to safety, vehicle will shut down soon". then every light on the dash lit up and the speedometer began to show weird numbers. it looked like a christmas tree there were so many lights. that message was accurate because it certainly did. it shut down on the highway as i was attempting to pull to safety. i wasnt able to capture video as i was scared to death. i took the vehicle into the service department and was later told they couldnt recreate/reproduce the issue. so, after refusing to take it back home, they decided they'd have one of the technicians drive it home to see if would happen again. needless to say 7 mos later they still have my car and now it just doesnt even start.
I have a humming noise between 30 - 40 mph. i took it back to dealer at 700 miles on new jeep and they told me that is normal. that is the muffler system. now it seems like it is humming louder and when i turn some corners there is a small clunknoise. i mentioned it to dealer and still told nothing to worry about. everyone that rides with me asks me what is wrong with my car.
The auto start stop has malfunctioned so many times now i've lost count. i've had the jeep for 6 months. it started the first week. the check engine light comes on and goes off and the start/stop issue light does the same. i've had it in and they just clear the error messages and send me on my way. very frustrating! the engine has turned off completely and had difficulty coming back on multiple times at stop signs and stop lights!
Vehicle would not start - error message parking break engaged. push gas pedal and release brake. these operations were performed and the vehicle would still not start. it took several minutes and attempts to finally get the vehicle to start. this is not safe operation of the vehicle.
It makes a humming noise and it sounds like when you are slowing down it's almost like it's shifting down. been doing since i picked it up from the dealer on 01/19/2018. i have had it at the dealership they say the noise is normal . i disagree. i have had a symbol twice come up that looks like this (a)! . my main concern is that humming noise and where is it coming from should i be concerned with the transmission? it happens around 25 and higher speed.
When i adjust the forward collision preferences settings it show me "selected" and i can back to the main menu and come back again to this option to check and continues selected, but when the ecu sleeps (turn off the vehicle) and i turn the vehicle back on after 30 seconds the forward collision preferences are showed set in the default values, my custom values are not saved, so it is very dangerous to trust this security function. also at the time of starting the advance in the morning, when the vehicle is cold by the ambient temperature, the front brakes produce a loud noise when braking gently, as when the abs is activated during a sudden braking, but after a few minutes of normal driving and braking this stop happening.
