While driving the car on the morning of february 16, 2020, my vehicle engine turned off without warning while taking a left turn at approximately 10mph. once the turn was complete and i pressed the pedal to accelerate, there was no response. all electronics were still on, but the speedometer showed 0mph and the engine was not running. i rolled to a stop on the shoulder and pressed the ignition to turn of the electrical systems. when pressing the ignition to restart the vehicle, it struggled to start but was successful. i continued my commute to work. it is easy to understand the risk associated with a total loss of engine power while driving on public streets. especially since the power steering was not functioning either. i still have no indication of what caused the failure and will consult my local jeep dealer.
This jeep compass has auto start stop-when stopped the car will go into auto stop mode. randomly, when the car is stopped the car will completely lurch and shut down- brakes will lock and the car is inoperable. the dash will say that the emergency brake has been engaged- when in fact the emergency brake has not been touched. the car will sit in the middle of intersections completely locked and shut down for 5-7 minutes. during this time there is no option for the driver- the steering wheel will not work and the car is completely immobile. the car has been brought to the dealership at least 5 times in the past year to address this problem. the dealership has told me about how this engine uses an excessive amount of oil, and have blamed oil being the cause of the problem in multiple cases- despite frequent oil changes and the oil change notification not coming up. on the third time in the dealership, i was told that there was a system upgrade that needed to be conducted. on the 4th time i was told again it was the oil (still no oil light indicator) the 5th time this problem occurred (less than one month after the 4th incident) the dealership stated they could not recreate the problem so there was nothing wrong with it and nothing we could do. this car is extremely dangerous in it's unpredictability and the fact that it becomes a stagnant vehicle in the middle of traffic. i can not stress enough how unsafe i feel in this car and knowing that there are so many faulty jeep compasses on the road.
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
2.4l multiair motor burns oil at excessive rate. new car burns 1qt of oil per 850 miles. no "low oil" indicator light. when low on oil, car stalls, jolts, or shuts off. stall generally occurs when turning at low speeds (less than 30 mph). significant safety hazard if turning in front of oncoming traffic. car will stall if down 2 quarts. therefore, if you do not refill oil every 1500 miles, you risk stalling on roadways. current vehicle has 26,000 miles. normally add 5 quarts of oil between scheduled oil changes. stalling has occurred approximately 10 times. two times stall occurred in intersection, almost resulting in high speed collision from opposing traffic.
My car is not even 2 years old and it has completely shut down twice while driving. very quickly a 'low oil pressure warning' sign will flash on the dashboard, and soon after the car becomes limp and completely shuts down. it will not move and doesn't allow further driving. the dealership found my oil is low, even though i haven't even hit 2500 miles since my last oil change. they are having me come back after 500 miles to monitor oil consumption and investigate further. this is extremely frustrating and dangerous, as it has shut off when i'm on main roads with cars all around me. i'm very disappointed, as i have never had any issues with previous jeeps i've owned.
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
oil burning up way before oil change is due. caused my car to stall in the middle of the road. the stall occurred while making a right turn at an intersection speed of approximately 10-15 mph. mileage was about 39000 while making the turn a quick chime and oil pressure low came on and disappeared and the car immediately stalled. come to find out that was was oil on dipstick. no warnings
Two days in a row the engine shut down less then one mile into my morning commute as i was turning onto the main road out of my development. the engine shut off, the steering became difficult, and the parking brake engaged. no warning lights came on, and nothing indicated why the car was shutting down. when taken into the dealer after the second incident in as many days, i was told the engine was low or out of oil and shutting down is a safety feature as is engaging the emergency brake in traffic. i wasn't due for an oil change for another month based on jeep's recommended schedule, but i was forced to do one so they could verify the issue. i was also told the compass has a new highly efficient engine and these new engines are so efficient they burn/leak oil, and i am to check my oil every 500-1000 miles and always have a quart in the car to top it off. when i asked why there wasn't a dashboard indicator the oil was low i was told the compass does not have such an indicator. i am concerned for my safety, my family's, as well as other drivers as i do not know when the car will shut down again.

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.
1) the jeep compass was traveling in motion on a farm to market road and stalled. it completely shut down. no steering, no braking. complete failure. no way to signal or let others traveling down the same highway that the vehicle was stalled. 2) the hood has popped open while traveling down a major highway. 3) all the alarms in the vehicle have gone off while traveling down the road. 4) the low oil pressure light and alarm has gone off while traveling down the road. 5) settings, such as park brake and radio, have changed indiscriminately. **by far, the most serious and dangerous problem is the vehicle stalling when in motion. then, it was hard to restart, in the middle of 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.
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.
The car stopped in the middle of freeway, i was lucky no one was behind me, so far three times it happened. every time when it happened i was driving the car. the way it happens first my speed will reduced even though i was pushing the gas, and suddenly stops.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while driving various speeds, the vehicle randomly shut off on multiple occasions. the engine was restarted and the vehicle operated normally. the vehicle was taken to island chrysler (1239 hylan blvd, staten island, ny) where it was diagnosed that the engine oil was very low. the contact was informed that the engine shut off due to very low oil and operated as intended. the manufacturer provided case number: cas-71699220. the failure mileage was 13,200.
The vehicle at any known time goes into the parking brake mode and stalls! the dealership does not recognize the problem and twice we were advised to change the oil? the oil changes which should not even be entertained has always been kept up to date. my question should we change the oil before or after the severity of the accident that can occur due to this malfunction. and why is this not a recall there are so many complaints online people experiencing same problem.are you waiting till someone dies before doing something about it? that would surely sore sales? not understanding how this is going on so long.it has occurred on three incidents now highway and side street , it should not matter it is extremely dangerous!
On several occasions the care has stalled while driving. once when taking a turn, but mostly when slowing down at a stop light. the check engine light will come on and service auto start stop will come on and without any warning the car will stop in the middle in the road. when we took car to the dealer they told us that it was the both batteries. we have had this car less than one year. i could understand one battery, but why would both go out at the same time. in researching i saw that there was voltage regulator recall; however, we are being told that this does not involve our vin. these incidents have happened around town.
Engine oil checked low 3,000 miles after last oil change. this is consistent with multiple online reports of these vehicles burning oil rapidly. other reports state vehicle shuts down while traveling with no warning indications and the dipstick registers no engine oil.
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.
While driving on highway the engine light came on and the vehicle began to pull back and jerk as if it were trying to slow down. continued for a few miles to jeep dealer which happened to be on that highway. the technicians explained that the engine light came on so as a safety precaution the vehicle restricts the speed by pulling back when you try to accelerate. the vehicle is currently at the dealer and they are unable to find any code that indicate a problem and they are unable to replicate the issue
On november 14, 2019, my wife drove our 2018 jeep compass on a local street, within minutes, the car began slowing down in the middle of the road, came to a complete stop, and then shut off. before the car shut off, the emergency brake light came on. on the first attempt, the car did not turn back on. on the second attempt, the car turned back on.
I left my house and drove about a mile down the road. i stopped at a stop sign and as i went to proceed onto an extremely busy road my 2018 jeep compass completely shut down. it wouldnt move and told me to shift gears then press the brake and start botton. multiple attempts would not restart the car. it took between 5-7 minutes to finally start running, but gave no indication of what the issue was. i was able to drive a mile to my destination without any issue, but was momentarily in fear for my life as the engine shut down with no notice. upon further investigation, i found a website containing of hundreds of recent complaints describing the exact same scenario. jeeps solution has been that the cars are in need of oil changes, but yet for myself and many others, no oil warning light is even coming on. my husband checked my oil and there basically is none. i called the dealership service center who informed me that many people have been having this issue and it needs an oil change. i find this incredibly unacceptable and feel that jeep is in over their heads with how to resolve this faulty system that nothing is being done about it and wont until fatalities are unfortunately reported. i contacted chrysler who said it may need an oil consumption test done, which is obviously going to require me to drive the vehicle in unsafe conditions to run a 'test'. i have also read that the engine was designed to shut off when oil is low and chrysler confirmed that. how does this pass testing? there is no warning light at all and chances are that you will die or be seriously injured if your car just shuts off in traffic. i am genuinely concerned for my life and the lives and safety of others while having these faulty vehicles on the road. there needs to be a recall asap and engines need to be replaced with one that dont burn through fuel like this compass was 'designed' to.
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.
I had been driving the car for a few minutes and stopped at a red light behind another vehicle. when the light turned green, i drove and turned right. after about 10 yards, my car stalled just as i was trying to accelerate. fortunately, no one was behind me, or i would have likely been hit. this had happened twice before, so i knew the process: put the car in park, turn on the emergency break, turn off the emergency break, turn off the car, turn on the car, put the car in drive. this sequence seemed to work, but my car should never stop in the middle of the road while i am driving. it is scary and unsafe.
Car has shut off while driving about 12 times the past 2 years. i noticed started after 6k. my oil is perfectly fine and i keep up with all the oil changes especially since it is a lease and is free with who i lease it through, its very dangerous and i have 4 children!!!!! also sounds a hard knocking sounds while accelerating as it shifts into another gear and jerking of the entire car forward when this happens i had to immediately slam on my brakes as it almost caused huge accident and not to mention shakes me and my children up every time this happens. why aren't there any recalls on this if there are soooo many complaints?*dt consumer stated i have to take it back in another 1k so i will provide follow up. he said i'm burning a little more than normal so that's why the next 1k i have to go back this is the other issue they are saying is normal. 27766 5:18 pm jerk feeling as changing gears 11/6/19 611 rd 27792 9:36 pm jerk feeling 11/6/19 hulmeville rd 27807 11:19 pm 11/6 really bad thump/jerk 611 ad as i was passing a vehicle between lanes 11/7 8:45 am started it with the remote starter got in vehicle pushed button car wouldn't start sat in idle for 3 min had to keep pushing to start. 11/18 2:28 pm 28329 turning onto main road switching lanes thumb/knocking /jerking 10 mph county line rd 11/19 9:07 am 28352 gibraltrar rd thump/jerking driving straight as i accelerate 11/19 6:03 pm 28371 think while going up on linekiln pk 11/21 6:25 28440 out of parking lot 3 mph jerking thumping as changing gears 11/30 9:47 28843 40 mph jerking thump of car hill town pike i'm having major issues with this car you can see this is only one month. *jb
Purchased new compass from best jeep in plymouth ma. after first oil change, just before second 13,000 miles (sticker says to go every 7,000 miles) low oil pressure light came on, had to get off the road. took 2 quarts of oil to get to safe zone, oil dripping was noticeable under car and i brought back to dealer. got car back and they noted no oil leak found and saw spilled oil at filler spot. i put oil in the car, there was no oil spilled around the filler. when i looked, dealership had taken, what seemed to be an oily rag, and wiped all around that area. then tried to blame me. got car home, oil was still dripping. called, made another appointment. they then wrote on the work order "verified, service manager documented oil under vehicle. they put die in oil, cleaned up present oil on outside of engine. went back to dealer after 300 miles, oil was down half a quart, but dealer said no leaks found. was told that this is within the normal range for a new engine to burn up to 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. this means the engine is already showing 1 quart of oil aprox every 600 miles. now i have to do an "oil consumption test" every 1000 miles. after reading what can happen when low oil pressure happens, car shutting down and locking up so cant be driven, has happened. once at a stop light, then trying to leave a parking spot. i thought it was operator error and i must have done something wrong because no warning lights came on and i was able to restart the car and continue. my fault for not following up with dealer, however if happens again, car will be just towed from spot. to me, this is an issue jeep knows about and is putting profits over lives. the cost of a life if the car shuts down on the highway or intersection with no warning, if far less than what it will cost them to step up and acknowledge and correct. i just pray it doesn't happen to my family.*dt*jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while operating the vehicle and attempting to turn, the oil warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle shut off. the contact stated that the failure first occurred in july of 2019. the vehicle was taken to dutchess chrysler jeep (2285 south rd, poughkeepsie, ny 12601) where oil was added. the dealer advised the contact to keep an eye on the oil consumption. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 30,782. the vin was not available.*dt consumer has decided to trade the car in.*jb
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
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.
Problemas con el check engine se enciende la luz del panel y la luz de la transmisin
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.
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.
My car's light to have it's oil changed turned on, then immediately after my engine shut off while i was making a sharp left turn. happened 2 more times before i could get to the shop. was told i was completely out of oil so they refilled the tank and told me this was my fault- within 1000 miles my low oil pressure light quickly turned on and off and my engine turned off again while i was turning. took car to shop and they said i was again out of oil - i insisted they look deeper since i found numerous online forums with people experiencing the same dangerous issue. the dealership discovered my engine was overly consuming the oil and an entire engine replacement was necessary.*dt*jb
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 exited the highway during rush hour morning traffic. my jeep stopped all the sudden. the engine shut itself off and engaged the emergency brake. it didn't keep rolling or let me get out of the lane of traffic. i sat there for ten minutes with car honking and swerving around me. i took it to the dealership. they said these cars (jeep compass) are notoriously bad about stalling out because they burn oil quickly and the oil light won't come on. they told me to constantly check my oil. i bought it brand new last year. i've had it about a year a half. i called chrysler customer service. they told me 'yes. these 2.4 liter engines burn oil too quickly. it is a known issue. the jeep will cut off without any warning while driving. this is a safety issue for myself and other drivers on the road with these jeeps. you cannot move the car once it does this.
My car has stalled out several times on the interstate and in busy in town traffic all due to low oil pressure. i have taken my car in several times to have the oil topped off because my dipstick is showing no oil. this happens about every 500 miles. this car is a death trap!
Burning excessive oil. had to get new motor. second motor is burning oil. going through second oil consumption test. 2018 jeep compass with 11,500 miles. still under warranty. vehicle can stop without warning, anywhere at any time.
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
My 2018 jeep compass ran out of oil. oil plug is in tact and it looks like it's leaking around the oil pump right behind the alternator. yesterday it was fine this morning started it pulled out and the low oil pressure light came on. i immediately parked it. checked oil and it was empty.
I bought a new 2018 jeep compass in february 2019. within a couple months my oil light came on. i stopped at a service center immediately and was told my vehicle had burned through all of the oil. i immediately contacted my jeep dealer and started a oil consumption test. in the test i burned 1 quart of oil in 2024 miles. i am concerned about the safety of this vehicle shutting down due to low oil or ruining the engine.*dt *as
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.
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.
my brake engaged yesterday while traveling on a city street. i was stopped at a light. i pushed the gas to make my vehicle accelerate when the light turned green. my vehicle would not move. the brake was engaged. after confirming nothing had hit the brake button. i pushed the brake release. the vehicle still would not go forward. there were images on the screen that include an a!, engine symbol, etc. i pushed the button to restart the car. it would not start. the brake was engaged again. this is the third time this has happened to my vehicle. it is very dangerous when this happens on a major street during peak hours of traffic. during one of the times my vehicle responded like this. the oil light was on. i went to the closest facility to get my vehicle checked. they said there was no oil in my vehicle on april 17, 2019. i had just had my oil changed.
The 2018 jeep compass engines have an unresolvable defect causing the oil to burn at an accelerated rate. it is a dangerous safety issue for anyone driving a 2018 jeep compass. the vehicle requires synthetic oil which would normally give you 5,000 drivable miles or 5 months before having to get an oil change. after only 2,000 miles, while driving my jeep compass, it shut off without any warning. luckily, there was no traffic on the road because the only thing i was able to do was coast to the shoulder and brake. only when the engine shut down did a low oil pressure light come on. i never would have bought this vehicle if i knew that the car would shut down with no warning. absolutely zero warning...no oil warning light, no message, no symbol, nothing. this happened again last week, just shy of 3 months after my last oil change. i immediately took it to the dealership and was told that after they change the oil (again), i will have to drive the vehicle, despite the safety issues, for another 1,000 miles so they can conduct an oil consumption test. after that, they will need to do a bore test to see if there is scoring in the cylinders. i was told that i will most likely need a new engine. i then researched this issue and was appalled at the sheer number of people this is happening to and despite the complaints, chrysler has not issued a recall. in fact, they are still selling this car to people even with a serious design flaw. there should be an immediate recall of all 2018 jeep compasses before someone dies, if someone hasn't already. i don't want to be a statistic. i am lucky in that both of the times my jeep shut off, there was no traffic around me. i have read complaints by people who were driving with their children on highways when their cars just shut off. how terrifying. this is an extremely dangerous situation and should be addressed immediately by chrysler.*dt the consumer stated the engine was replaced. *js
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while driving various speeds, the vehicle randomly shut off. the vehicle was taken to dover dodge jeep (396 rt. 46 east, rockaway, nj) who indicated that no oil was present inside the engine. the contact indicated that four quarts of oil were added to the engine approximately one month prior to the failure. the cause of the failure was not determined. the contact was advised to add one quart of oil to the engine every 1,000 miles. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,000. the vin was unknown.
Engine eats oil way to much around 709 miles it will start to roughly idle and when checking the oil levels it's 2 quarts low. i can also be driving and the vehicle will jerk when trying to get up to speed thrusting me forward like it's having trouble.
Oil burning up way before oil change is due. caused my car to stall in the middle of the road with my three month old infant in the back seat.*dt the stall occurred while making a right turn at an intersection speed of approximately 10-15 mph. mileage was about 12925. while making the turn a quick chime and oil pressure low came on and disappeared and the car immediately stalled. come to find out the oil on dipstick was 1mm. no warnings about it. not due for oil change for another 1600 miles. *jb
Why has this not been recalled. had my jeep at the dealer yesterday, for another oil change, about 2000 miles before i was due. the last oil change was around 9500 miles. they said, there was no oil in my car when he checked. it has just under 13,000 miles on it and for the second time in 5 days, the engine just shut off while driving. so i have now almost gotten rear-ended twice. i have to drift to the side, put the car in park, shut it off entirely, then restart, yesterday it took 3 tries to get it to restart. i was told, i need to drive another 2000 miles and come back so they can check my dip stick, which they marked yesterday. ironically while i was checking out, there was a woman there, picking up her compass from them after a week, because they were replacing her engine. earlier this month i was talking to a family friend. her compass had just come back from the same dealer, after having the engine replaced for the same thing. so why, am i still having to drive a car, when this is a known issue? from reading other complaints, sounds like some have not had as easy of a pull off as have and are stuck in harms way when it happens to them. is it going to take someone dying for this issue to become a recall??
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
