Jeep compass problems with stalling and shutting off while driving
The jeep compass 2018 car just stops in the middle of driving. there is no oil light to indicate it is low on oil. this is a serious safety hazard . this has happened twice. the car eats oil. dealer said to drive for 2000 miles and bring it in . i am terrified of driving it. it needs a new engline

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.
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.
While driving the tachometer and the digital and analog speedometers went to zero. and the d for drive was flashing in the dash as well as at the shifter along with the parking brake light flashing also.when i pulled over and put it in park it shut itself off and would not immediately restart. this is a few months after taking to the dealer for the transmission not shifting and codes flashing. i have attached a photo taken at about 20 mph of the tachometer and speedometers
Four times now after the stop/start system has engaged while at a stop and i release the break to start driving, the car either flashes 4 wheel drive unavailable and then goes into limp mode not allowing the car to drive over 13mph until the car is restarted or most recently states transmission warning service engine and won't allow the car to drive at all until i restart the car in the middle of the road. both times after restarting the car has driven with no issues but most recently the service engine light has remained on. these issues only happen with the stop/start function so i have to remember to turn this feature off everytime i start the car. this has happened twice in the middle of a busy intersection in the city leaving me to sit in the middle and wait for my car to shut off, turn back on, and hopefully drive away while hoping no car drives right into me while trying to do this. very unsafe!
My vehicle start/stop caused me to stall out for 20min in the middle of traffic, i was not hit, and i put my hazards on and waved people by, i had to turn my vehicle off, and then put the parking break on, then disengage the parking break, restart my vehicle, and press the star/stop button to turn it off, and since this incident, my start stop system has not worked but i constantly have an umbrella con on my console that is a circle with an exclamation mark. i then went to orielly auto parts near my home for a diagnosis, and it was a manufacture code that they had no clue was about. my vehicle was in motion approaching a stop light on a public city street when it shut down and stalled out, i obstructed traffic for ten mins until i figured out how to get my car to turn back on.
2018 jeep compass shut off while driving, it has happened twice since purchase nine months ago. i was on a city street both times and in motion.*dt*jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced electrical failures. the contact stated that several unknown indicators flashed on the instrument panel and the turn signals and blind spot monitor failed to work. the contact stated that the computer was in a constant loop of turning on and off. tallahassee dodge chrysler jeep ram fiat (3987 w tennessee st, tallahassee, fl 32304) scheduled a diagnostic appointment for december 9, 2019. the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls. the failure mileage was 47,000.
Same issue 2x now and feel my life and others are jeopardized. while driving on a highway coming to a red light slowing down for the light to then turn green while pushing the gas the car stalled, shut down and emergency brake turned on, nothing would work. i could not disengage the emergency brake to even move the car off the lane of the highway and was nearly in a car accident. the first incident the vehicle was taken in for service and was told i needed an oil change. i said so while i'm driving, getting on a highway 1.5 minutes after leaving my home my car will just shut down? the answer was yes! unacceptable!! how about the car not turning on due to low oil or things of such instead of the car turning on and allowing you to drive enough to get up to 50 mph then just shutting down. again today and car is being towed to dealer. i have uconnect and receive emails of my car diagnostics. only 3 days ago it sent a "suggested" oil change. understand that uconnect has an "immediate action needed" alert. if the car shuts down i would assume this should be an immediate action not a suggestion. there is no oil indicator on my dashboard. this is a huge safety issue and concern and must be immediately. i will be reaching out to any and all news stations that will hear my story and read the hundreds reported if legitimate action is not taken specific to this life saftey issue! i was in a car accident in 2017 and an airbag blew my left eye apart and has left me blinded in one eye. i purchased this vehicle to make me feel safe due to the blind spot alert function. i now have to be concerned that i may jeopardized the safety of myself and others over an oil change?! i hope this reaches the right source and i hope they read the hundreds of other reports that are exactly the same or jeep will be on the news and all those that turned a cheek. *dt *dt consumer stated her fianc stopped at the dealership this morning and again they are stating this happens when the oil is low.*jb
When driving, the vehicle will suddenly stop, check engine, check transmission, service engine soon all light up and the car will not restart. the vehicle has had an oil and filter change at 5,000 miles. the error codes are: p3506 and p2af5: cylinder misfire fault detected, throttle position sensor, sensor reference volatage circuit low, crankshaft position sensor, engine oil pressure sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor circuit 1 low. the vehicle is 16 months old and has 7,000 miles. this has happened at least 7 times, the last 3 yesterday. all city driving, once in the driveway. sometimes vehicle won't turn off, but you cannot move forward. if you wait about 5-10 minutes, all returns to normal until the next event. maybe in a week, maybe in 5 minutes.
I lease my 2018 jeep compass. on four occasions the car has stalled and not been able to operate. two of the stalling has been in traffic while the car was in motion (highway and intersection). everytime i take the car in for service the dealership can't duplicate the problem. it did stall again at the dealership so i left it again. on all the occasions dealer had a look they said it was a part that needed to be repaired, then a software update. then saying they left too much cleaner. just last week i picked up my car from dealership with a full tank. i drove 100 miles miles and the fuel indicator did not move at all. i know when i have a full tank of gas i have a total range of 326 miles. then the total range number kept fluctuating. at one point it said i had 328 miles left then went down to 200 then back up to 300 all within 6 miles of driving with a 3/4 tank full. therefore it wasn't accurate. i took the car back in and dealership said it was due to a software update but i just had a software update last week. at this point i don't feel safe driving this car and i fear for my safety and am scared for the next time my car decides to stop while driving. it is unsafe and a hazard to myself and others.
I have been to papas now 5 times for the same two problems my start stop keeps stalling when trying to turn on 3 times now and has had the check start stop system light come on 3 times now. also my part of my powertrain was broken and my strut broke.
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.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to heritage chrysler dodge jeep ram owings mills (located at 11212 reisterstown rd, owings mills, md 21117, (866) 771-8050) where it was diagnosed that the engine oil was low. the vehicle was currently being tested for oil consumption. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v524000 (electrical system). the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
Rear backup camera fails to work when shifting into reverse,, instead showing a black screen and causing the computer to freeze occasionally requiring power off of the car to bring screen back up.
While driving this vehicle at 55 mph on a parkway, the middle dashboard began randomly displaying 'service now' and 'service' needed messages for the hill-assist and auto-start features. it continued flashing other messages that i could not read because at the same time, my steering wheel completely locked up. it would not turn left or right. i had trouble applying pressure to the brakes. this was an extremely terrifying experience because, as mentioned, i was moving quickly on a parkway with other cars around and an inability to control or easily slow down my vehicle.
Having electrical issues with sound system shutting off and not coming back on, also took car in for regular maintenance oil change and was told my car had very little oil almost out and no warning lights came on at all and it wasn't even time for my oil change, i was early. and now my start/stop light came on and dealer states no problem it just want work properly.. gas mileage is horrible and i have to have oil changed and checked more often due to known ongoing issues with this model. i have only 17k on my vehicle and problem after problem. dont buy jeep compass.
Auto start/stop does not function properly 100% of the time. pulling up to a red light the engine stops and on numerous occasions, the vehicle will not turn back on until the vehicle has been completely turned off and restarted. can become a dangerous situation if there is a vehicle running up behind you and your vehicle refuses to start back up.
Since we purchased this car, it has unexpectedly completely shut down while driving. this has happened approximately 20 times. last year, it was towed to a dealership in the sheepshead bay area of brooklyn, new york. we were told that it was a safety feature that shut the engine down while driving if the vehicle was low on oil. it was not as ascertained by that dealership. this "safety feature" has put my family's life in imminent danger as this has happened while driving 60mph on the grand central parkway and belt parkway in new york. on sunday, may 26, 2019, my son was driving with 4 people in this car and once again it shut down while traveling 55mph. fortunately, he was able to exit the highway before he was rear ended avoiding tragedy. he proceeded to drive to a friend's house on 168th street in manhattan while utilizing city streets. the car randomly shut down 6 more times before reaching safety. i will not allow anyone in my family to drive this unsafe vehicle. it was towed to the chrysler jeep dealership on hylan blvd. in staten island, new york. we were informed that it will not even be evaluated for another week to 10 days. chrysler does not provide rentals nor does my insurance company allow rentals unless the auto was in an accident. i have researched and asked a friend who has the same exact model and year. it is happening to her, too. i am appalled that this problem is associated with supposed low oil in the engine. my son had the oil changed 4 days prior to this latest incident. it is frightening to think that even when this car is allegedly repaired once again, that my son will be driving this car from staten island, new york, to the canarsie section of brooklyn, new york. please advise what steps should be taken. i would like to terminate the lease in anyway possible.
I have had two instances within a 2 months of each other where my new jeep compass has broken down and needed to be towed to the dealership. back in february, i was driving about 65 mph on the highway and the check engine light came on, which i thought was strange. i came up to a stop sign and tried to accelerate again, and i crawled through the intersection with no power, rpms shooting through the roof, and my whole vehicle shaking violently. the harder i pressed on the gas, the slower it went. there was oncoing trafic at this time, so im glad no accident occured. the dealership said that i needed two software updates, for my transmission and one other one, and it fixed the problem. fast forward to april 27, 2019, im driving 50 mph and the service engine light comes on again. i come to a stop sign again, and try to accelerate, only for the same thing to happen as last time. i made it home and had my car towed to the dealership again. the said that they did not see a check engine light on and were not able to find that one had ever been on when they checked the computer in the vehicle. this is alarming because it was in fact on, and my whole vehicle was basically disabled and shaking violently. they said since they couldnt find anything that there was nothing they could do to fix the problem unless they can recreate it. there is clearly something majorly wrong with this cars computer system if it randomly does this with no warning, and it is dangerous. it doesnt even work enough to log the history of engine lights that are triggered. i dont feel safe driving it. it is under a year old and only had 9500 miles on it when this happend the first time, now it has 13000 miles on it and is still new. this is a major issue when the service shop i bought it from cant even figure out what is wrong.
After starting car and driving emergency break engages and car shuts off while in motion. upon turning off, "low oil pressure" warning comes up for less than 3 seconds and then disappears.. and engine stays off. takes about 5-7 minutes for car to turn back on. this has occurred multiple times while driving on interstate highway and busy intersection. super dangerous and not safe... have called jeep to open a case and taking in for servicing. this is not ok. truck is less than 6 months, not even 3,000 miles.
I was driving 44mph headed to a red light with a 4 lane highway coming the other direction. the jeep shut off while i was going 44mph and i had no steering, no breaks, no power at all. i kept hitting restart and finally the engine kicked back on, i was able to get the car to the side of the road. vehicle was towed to the dealership d'ambrosio in downingtown, pa. when jeep shut off warning lights came on saying "low oil pressure". no lights appeared prior to jeep shutting off while going 44mph. i almost died! while at dealership i was told by service manager that the parts guy's wife had the same thing happen to her while driving her jeep just stopped on the highway. easter sunday my brother told me his friend called him and told him that his wife's jeep shut off while she was driving on a highway. there is a serious issue with these vehicles.
I was driving 44 mph headed to a red light intersection with 4 lanes of traffic coming the opposite direction when my jeep shut off i had no steering, no breaks and no engine running. i was moving forward at 44mph unable to control the vehicle and kept hitting the start button. after several attempts the car restarted saying low oil pressure and i was able to steer the car off the road before entering the intersection and getting kiled. car was towed to dealership d'ambrosio auto group. oil was checked and i was advised there was no oil in the engine, the vehicle had 3,650 miles on it and it's brand new. maintenance says oil change at 10k miles. service mgr. told me the same exact thing happened to the parts mgr. sister. i have also been told by 1 other person the same thing happened to her while driving in traffic. service mgr. told me to bring vehicle back in 2k miles and if oil is low they would replace engine at no charge. *dt*jb
Tl* the contact called on behalf of her mother who owns a 2018 jeep compass. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled as an unknown warning light was displayed on several occasions. this would occur when 2 quarts of oil had been used. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic however the vehicle was diagnosed stated battery was in charge mode but it was not fixed. the contact was concerned of an excessive oil consumption. the manufacturer and dealer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,700.*dt*jb *dt consumer stated start/stop ready mode does not work.*jb*dt*jb
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.
Radio will randomly turn on while the car is off and i am outside of it (doors locked) car will struggle to go into gear sometimes, strong jerk once it goes into gear. windshield whippers will turn on on their own (sunny day) and will not turn off.
This is the third car i own, my first two cars were honda and now i am currently driving a 2018 jeep compass. i have been driving this car since august, on 2/26/19 around 1:30pm i was driving for about 2 minutes when i stopped at a red light and my automatic stop/start turned my car off, i pressed the button and my car started again normally. as the light turned green i moved my foot from the break to the gas and my car did not move. i pressed the auto again and i still did not move, continued to put my car in park and nothing would work. i had to restart my car twice before it would move. this all happened while at a green light with cars behind me. on 2/27/19 at 2:45pm i started my car and while i was still driving pressed the auto stop/start, i get about 200 feet further before my car starts slowing down on its own and shut off. i waited some time before restarting my car. on 3/1/19 at 2:30pm i did not have auto stop/start on, i was driving for some time and my car started to slow down again so i pushed on the gas to accelerate, it would not accelerate and i was able to pull over to the side when my car came to a stop on its own and the emergency break light came on on its own. i waited some time again before restarting my car. i do not feel safe driving this car as it is dangerous to just stop on its own. ** please note the vehicle has approximately 2965 miles on it as of 3/2/19 *
My touch screen just starting having lines through it and is getting worse only 22,000 miles on my jeep
Second time this issue has been a problem. first time electrical issues prevented car from shifting out of gear and car will not shut off, i had to pull fuses to get car to shut down. emergency parking brake would not even engage. so my daughter had to hold the brake because said auto was stuck in reverse for over one hour. this is a brand new car. it is my belief that this dealership was not truthful in disclosing the issues with this car. web shows several instances of this happening, why has the nthtsa not recalled these vehicles with this same setup. i believe it's times that this car gets replaced by the manufacturer.
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
The vehicle has 1700 miles and stalled again while driving. took 15 min for it to start back up. the first time with 300 miles the dealership said the batteries were bad. *bf consumer vehicle stalled twice and was towed. the first was due to primary and auxillary failing and primary battery terminal was not secured to the lead. both batteries were replaced. the second time it stalled was due to starter and alternator cables at the battery fuse blocked overtightened which caused damaged to battery positive terminal. fuse bloc was replaced also during both incidents, steering wheel was inorperable.*jb
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.
2018 jeep compass limited bought brand new would not start with approx. 240 miles on it. was parked in my garage. called dealer, was told to call roadside assistance. car started after some time, cancelled roadside assistance. i drove car to dealer where i bought the car. they did diagnostics, said it was software and said car seemed to fix itself. i drove car home that same day. second time ,same issue, car would not start with apprx. 3600 miles . i had just come out of the supermarket. called dealer where i bought the car, called jeep roadside assistance, who left me sitting in the cold for about two hours. cold and very angry i cancelled that tow and used my triple aaa and my local tow guy,(who had the jeep loaded on the flatbed in half an hour) and drove me and my jeep to my dealer. service is trying to fix the car. they have had it for 3 days now and through the weekend. jeep provided a rental for 1 week. this is a safety issue. i no longer feel safe with this car. hoping they can fix it or it is maybe a lemon. both times the car was parked. i have never had a car leave me stranded like this. i do have a case file with jeep and was told someone would get back to me in 1 business day. that did not happen, i called them back and was told i was given incorrect information and that actually they would get back to me in 24-48 hours. so, i better get a phone call or e-mail on monday. jeep knows about this issue. i thought i was buying a safe car.. i don't feel that way now.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while driving various speeds, making turns, or slowing down for a stop sign, the vehicle stalled. several warning indicators, including the abs and traction control, illuminated. also, the gear shifter blinked red. the vehicle was taken to arrigo dodge chrysler jeep ram sawgrass (5901 madison ave, tamarac, fl 33321) where the service manager test drove the vehicle and the failure was duplicated. the failure was determined to be a malfunctioning computer module. the computer module was replaced; however, the stalling failure continued. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per several unknown recalls and technical service bulletins. recently, while the vehicle was parked, the push to start button was pressed, but the vehicle failed to turn off. the contact was concerned about carbon monoxide poisoning as the vehicle was left running for over an hour without warning. the manufacturer was notified and advised the contact that a lead specialist would call her back. the approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

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.
Dayton andrews dodge chrysler jeep ram, inc. sold me a dangerously defective vehicle and refuse to abide by lemon law. on april 21 2018 i purchased a new jeep compass latitude 4x2 sport utility with 15 miles on odometer. august 2 i returned the vehicle to dealership due to engine stalling, intermittent engine shut offs, warning lights, check engine lights on, electrical failure and multiple loss of panel communication faults. august 6, i was told to pick up vehicle. upon arrival lead mechanic stated it's a lemon and that i should go lemon law. he couldn't find the source of the issue, it's a manufacturing defect but it seems to be repaired this time and he will continue trying to fix vehicle if ordered by his boss. before i could leave the dealership parking lot vehicle stalled and electrical failure with multiple loss of communication occurred, so the vehicle never left lot and remained until october 29th until i was told it had been repaired and to pick up. on october 31st, vehicle had electrical failure and multiple loss of communication and complete blackout of control panel screen. on november 7 chrysler formally refused to buy back the vehicle and instead added insult to injury offering $3000 to keep the defective vehicle, shut up and go away. https://www.daytonandrews.net fcs us llc chrysler case # 34917436 p. o box 21-8004 auburn hills, mi 48321-8004 tel: 1-800-334-9200 fax: 313-253-2928 any help that you give me will be greatly appreciated.

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.
Radio (display) keeps shutting off and takes minutes to reconnect, brought into dealership say they cant find anything wrong with it it. has done it 2 more times since then. here a loud noise when running between 35pmh-45mph, brought into dealership and they said noise is coming from drivetrain, found starcase for exact conditions and engineering is working on a soultion, no dtc's. was sent on my way. we just purchased vehicle in march of 2018. not a happy customer!
