First off. i have a 2018 jeep compass that's i got a few weeks ago and i'm noticing now that my brakes are already terribly grinding, the engine gets way too hot even though the indicator is always neutral and never moves ever. also the mpg is absolute crap and i think it has to do with the engine system itself causing problems. i lost 45 miles according to the indicator and really only went 12 miles back from work. that shouldn't be right.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while the vehicle was in traffic, it stalled three times without warning. the vehicle was taken to napleton's arlington heights chrysler dodge jeep ram (1155 w dundee rd, arlington heights, il 60004, (847) 481-8411) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was burning oil and needed a new engine. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the of the failure and provided a case number. the failure mileage was approximately 7,398.
Consumer stated it was around 8,000 miles, it stalled driving on a thruway in new york traffic, parking break engaged and it came to full stop, had to depress brake and restart car. my jeep has been at the dealer for a week while they figure out what is wrong with it. they said the oil is not pumping out. at my last oil change they said the jeep is burning oil like crazy with no warning about low oil. it has 13,000 miles on it and also intermittently shuts off while driving,i have to pull over and the parking break engages. then restart it, it also intermittently won't start at all. then after a few hours it will start but runs really rough. another issue is with what sounds like the suspension in the front right of the vehicle. it feels very unsafe to drive as i have two young children. the vehicle stopped in the middle of a freeway in traffic in new york and it was the scariest few moments of my life. honestly i agree that this car is starting to feel like a death trap yet there are no recalls when i enter my vin. *dt*jb

Vehicle stalls after car has stopped at stop light or stop sign. vehicle will properly turn off due to auto shut off. remove foot from brake, vehicle starts and begins to move. vehicle will then stall quickly after in intersection. operator needs to put car in park, turn vehicle back on and begin moving. problem has repeatedly happened during city driving at stops signs.
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.
I was about to pull out of the parking lot while in drive when the engine service light came up telling me to pull my car over and come to a stop because the vehicle will shut off. took it to the dealer they said nothing was wrong and erased all my error messages after it was scanned. as a standard procedure of jeep they told me to pick up the vehicle and drive it for 1,000 miles and if the check engine light appeared to bring it in and then they will fix it. i find this is unsafe telling me to go drive my vehicle and there is a possibility it may turn off while i am on the highway.
We bought the jeep new with 8600 miles on it. 4000 miles after our first oil change at the dealer, the engine oil light came on while turning a corner. i checked the oil level to which i needed to add three quarts to bring it back to normal. we have 20,000 miles on our car. this seems to be a lot of oil. there are no oil spots or drips under our car and no smoke is coming out from the muffler. engine bay is clean. i searched online and found many other new jeep owners with the same complaint. is anything being done about this?
I bought my 2018 jeep compass in february 2019. in july 2019 while driving the car on the freeway with my 2 daughters the oil light came on and the car turned off in the middle of traffic. thank god i was in traffic and i was able to restart the car. the oil light did not come back on and i was able to drive the car. a few days later this happened again while taking my daughters to visit family on the road. i was able to start the car again. the oil light did not come back on again. the next day i took my car to larson dodge and jeep dealer in puyallup, wa. i told them what was happening and i was told that it is a known problem that the jeep compass has a problem with oil evaporating and they would change the oil. the service person i talked to said his wife also has a jeep compass and he is trying to convince his wife to trade it in because to this problem. i am not sure how oil can just evaporate. at the time of the oil change i had driven about 3000 to 3500 miles since i bought the car. i have had to have my oil changed one other time around 3000 miles and will have to have it changed again soon. the last time the oil was very low again and it getting low again. i have to continuously check my oil on a weekly basis on an almost new car. driving this car, that can just turn off at anytime due to a known oil consumption issue with the 2018 jeep compass not only puts me in danger but it puts my children in danger each time the car is driven. i do not have another mode of transportation.
While car is in motion engine will stall at red lights / intersections, car will state:put car in drive but car is in drive, low oil pressure warning will illuminate when turning right then disappear, check engine light will flash then turn off. car may stall, lose power, emergency brake warning, no gas pedal response. i researched this problem and it appears that the crankshaft position sensor could be faulty...car is 2018 with 21,000 miles...cps should not be faulty at this low mileage/age of vehicle...seems to be a common complaint across jeep compass vehicles of multiple years.....recall jeep vehicles for faulty crankshaft position sensor....happens at highway speeds as well, car loses power and steering ability.....dangerous
I was driving my vehicle on a city street at 45 miles an hour when the engine turned off with no warning. the steering wheel locked up when the vehicle turned off and coasted the parking break engaged at 15 miles an hour forcing me to hard break and almost get rear ended with children in the vehicle. i had my vehicle towed to the dealership where it was purchased. they told me it was a safety feature for the jeep for the engine to shut off when the oil is low. the dealership is claiming that it's with in chrysler's specs that this engine (2.4 multi-air 9 speed) can burn 1 quart of oil every thousand miles. this jeep only has 3,043 mile on it. it is a serious safety issue for engines to shut off while the vehicle is in motion. this needs to be fixed it can cause serious harm and possible death in a collision. both of the jeep dealership and chrysler refused to remedy the situation. they are forcing me to drive the vehicle for an oil consumption test regardless of the safety issues. *dt consumer stated there was no warning lights and no chime before, during or after the vehicle stopped running. there was no indication whatsoever that the oil was low. the vehicle had not had an oil change prior to this situation due to the milage. the dealership started at oil consumption test which required them to change the oil. dealership is asking consumer to bring vehicle in every 500 four times before determining the amount oil that the vehicle is burning.*jb
Piston exploded out of motor while driving on interstate. vehicle has 7,769 miles when this happened. no dummy lights appeared prior, vehicle was in 'neutral' temp range, had an oil change just at 5500 miles and synthetic oil was put in as dealer recommended. i'd like to add that chrysler warranty has hung up and denied any other issues. i'm glad to see other have engine problems and i am seeking lawsuits. any help on this would be very helpful as i'm not the only one related to known oil issues or blown motors! this is such a safety risk i am glad that my family was not with me. i don't understand why when something like this happens that no one you call for your factory warranty and get their third party call centers that they don't tell you all proper information, nor are they noting accounts properly.
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.
Jeep compass 2018 mileage 5188 - on friday, june 21, 2019 i was just leaving my home to go to work at 7:45 am and i was about 1.5 miles from my home when my car just ceased on a major roadway and the dashboard said oil pressure low. i had other cars behind me and was very lucky no one had hit me from behind and i did not get seriously hurt. i immediately called dealer healy chrysler jeep where i bought my car and spoke to a service manager named jeff roscino and he told me that i should take the car to the nearest dealer to me and have my oil changed. he told me that this car's motor was intrinsically designed to burn this amount of oil. i had brought the car to yonkers chrysler jeep which was nearest dealer to me and they did an oil change - synthetic oil put 6 quarts of oil in car - the service advisor said there was a very little amount of oil in car. this car is a brand new car and should not be burning oil it has 5,188 miles on it - there is a serious design flaw in engine and also a very serious safety issue. i do not feel safe driving this car and something needs to be done about these issues before me or someone else gets hurt. selling a car to people with a serious design flaw in the engine is a very serious issue. i have read online that several people had had the same thing happened to them had very low mileage and car ceases and dashboard says low oil pressure. there was very little oil in there car as well. i called jeep headquarter on saturday, june 22, 2019 and spoke to representative and she gave me a case number and told me someone would be calling me back on monday, june 24,2019. it can
This happened three times over the past two weeks. i have been driving my car in heavy traffic and car will throw itself in emergency brake mode and engine will turn off. loss of steering control is gone as well. have been extremely lucky to not get in an accident. dropped car off to dealer who blamed it on "low oil." due to "low oil" levels however car is only 7 months old and just 4k miles. he recommended i change the oil every 750 miles! 750! a standard car is every 5,000 miles. the fact that my oil change could be the determining factor between my engine turning off mid drive and getting in an accident is absurd. while researching there are hundreds of similar cases with the same car. people have gotten in accidents due to the car stalling on highways and intersections. not safe to drive. do not recommend. legitimately scared to drive. should not be allowed on the road!
I purchased the compass brand new and have only 4,600 miles on the vehicle. when i was pulling up to a stop sign at a very busy intersection, the "low oil pressure" light came on and the vehicle stalled and would not move. dealership said that this is "how the engine is designed to function" and resolved with an oil change. the oil should not be so low that engine cuts off. also, this "safety feature" is incredibly dangerous as it gives no warning and cuts out while driving. this needs to be corrected!!
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.
The 2.4 engine in the 2018 compass is using oil at a very high rate. in the first 3200 miles our jeep used 3.5 quarts of oil. the oil got so low that the car stall in the middle of a busy highway on my wife. the performance of this vehicle is unsafe, you never know when the oil get low and the car stalls. i have followed up with the dealer who referred me to chrysler customer care. i spoke with a person there who advised that a quart of oil in a 1000 miles was acceptable. i advies her that a new car should not be using any oil. chrysler knows there is a problem with the 2.4 engine and their answer is " we will put you on a oil change program"> i am not the only owner that is having a problem with the jeep compass, all you have to do is google jeep compass 2.4 engine oil problem. the long and the short of this is, there is a problem with the 2.4 engine, chrysler knows it and will not recall it. the car is unsafe because it will stop running at anytime or anyplace when the oil get low. my wife was nearly broadside because the car stopped in the middle of a travel lane. when she got the car running again it stopped several more time before we were made aware of the oil problem. this car should be recalled due to the engine problem. i shouldn't have to keep adding oil to a $30k plus vehicle. recall it before some one get killed.
I was driving to work one morning and made it about 1 mile from home before my car turned off and the emergency brake engaged. i had owned my vehicle for about 4 months at this point, and the engine oil pressure light engaged. i had around 3,000 miles at this point. i started my vehicle and made it another 1/2 mile before the car turned off and brake engaged again. started the car and made it the 10 miles that i have to drive to work. the same thing happened for the next 3 days. luckily i was not on a highway; this could have been very dangerous! after the 3rd day of this happening, i went online to research. apparently the newer jeep engine drinks oil. at that point, my husband had to add 3 quarts of oil! after only 3,000 miles! i called chrysler the next day and they told me to do an oil consumption test. when i talked to the service area at the jeep dealership they told me that 95% of the vehicles on their lot have this particular engine that drinks oil. i asked if there was going to be a recall and they said they hadn't heard that. i asked the woman who is managing my claim at chrysler if they can put the old motor in my vehicle, but she said i need to go through the consumption test before determining any solutions. from what i"ve been reading, jeep seems to be doing nothing about this. other jeep compass drivers describe their near accidents because their vehicle stopped on a highway. i feel that this issue causes a huge safety risk. no one at the dealership where i bought my vehicle mentioned this issue; i would not have purchased the vehicle if i knew that it literally shuts down. i mentioned it to my salesman and he said he was unaware. i found it hard to believe that jeep is not recognizing this issue. *dt 'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*jb
While driving down the freeway at about 65 miles per hour, without warning this jeep stalls, putting my wife in a potentially fatal or injurious accident situation. dealership said they know and accept as normal this brand new car burning a quart of oil every 2000 miles and that if the car gets low on oil it will quit running, but they never tell the owner of the car, they only say come back in 5000 miles for next oil change, meanwhile the car starts stalling at 3-4000 miles
2018 jeep compass stalled while wife was attempting to cross 6 lanes of traffic. no warning lights or indicators displayed at all. oil level in the car after 3000 miles did not even register on dipstick, so car burned 3+ qts oil. *dt
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.
The jeep stalls, shuts off and turns on its own e brake when it runs low on oil. but it runs out of oil every 2000 miles!!!!!!! ive taken it to jeep and they say, oh thats normal !?!?!?!?! ive almost been hit several times going around a round a bout and having it lock up like that because its low on oil - and im going broke buying oil changes all the time this car is horrible, also the radio completely and randomly turns off, display everything - while driving!
The engine burns oil at an extremely fast rate. every 3,000 miles there is no oil left in the car and the car will stall out while driving with no warning. it is an extreme safety hazard and somebody is going to get killed if this happens at the wrong time. *dt consumer stated oil consumption test was done but dealer told consumer it was normal to stall.*jb
The vehicle has stalled five times driving on the highway. every time the vehicle stalled it has been hot out. the car stalls and several error lights flash; parking break, hill-stop, oil-change, etc.. the car then won't turn off, but just stays in on mode but will not move. jeep will not address the issue. they say that because they can't duplicate it, the car is 'fine'. i have almost been hit at least a dozen times. this is a known and extremely dangerous issue and they will not admit it.
Driving on the expressway and the vehicle just stalled. almost was involved in an accident trying to get to the side of the road. after several minutes vehicle started again. called dealership and was advised to check the oil as this vehicle uses oil. vehicle has 5612 miles on it. oil was added and then advised i needed to bring in for oil consumption test. only thing i was advised was that must bring in vehicle for next 2000 miles then again 2000 miles more. so at this time, i am driving a vehicle that stalls and not given a reason and is a safety issue for myself and passengers. this is a safety issue for myself, and any one else that is on the road with me when vehicle just decides to stall without warning.
This would be the second time on this 2018 jeep compass with only 5000k miles that the vehicle consumes engine oil leaving it very low with almost no oil on the dip stick. first time it happened the vehicle only had 2000k miles. the first time i encountered a problem was on the freeway heading home when the check engine light came on. and the vehicle shook as well, as if it were struggling. the engine light went away but the next couple of times as i drove on the street the vehicle would turn off a few times. it would turn back on but it struggled a little to turn on. when i took it to the dealer at 2000k miles the dealer told me that they were unable to locate the problem on the vehicle. the vehicle doesnt leak any oil. they also did a few updates to the vehicle computer because if was in need of updates. now vehicles is at 5oook miles and once again very low oil in engine. currently the vehicle doesnt stall or have any lights on. i will be going back to the dealer again to get it checked about the consumption.
Engine burning way more oil than it should, the vehicle then will seize and shut down. this can be at any point while driving and gives no warning as to when it will happen. jeep will not take any responsibility about this hazardous issue in their engines you shouldn't have to check your oil all the time to make sure it won't happen again. the dealership will have you come in for a consumption test and even putting a claim into jeep corporate, they will not acknowledge how bad of a problem that is. their needs to be a recall or fix soon or their will be lawsuits unfortunately when something happens.
While driving my vehicle under normal operating conditions on a busy street the vehicle suddenly autonomously shut down almost causing a catastrophic multi car collision. vehicle could not be restarted and needed to be towed to dealership for service. still awaiting correct diagnosis from dealer.
While accelerating onto a highway, my vehicle suddenly shut off. i immediately put hazards on, tried to pull to the side, stopped and tried turning the car back on, after 2 attempts it turned back on but i was scared the entire hour long ride home so drove in the slow lane so that i could pull right off the highway if it happened again. i took the vehicle for service and they said it was the hood latch sensor. they replaced it and it worked fine for a month or so then again this happened while driving down the road about 40 mph, car suddenly shut off. again another scary experience. took the car back and they said the actual hood latch needed to be replaced. pulled out of service center and it happened again, pulled back in to service center and a day later they called and said hood needed realignment. worked again for a few months then today, again driving down the road, oil pressure low warning flashed on my dash then went off, the check engine light flashed on then yet another warning that read switch to p then desired gear. car then lost almost all power but luckily had just enough power to get me to a side road where i barely made it onto the road before it shut off. i tried turning it back on and after 2 tries it powered on but when i put into drive and hit the gas, it would not move. it was like it would not engage in gear. this is an extreme safety hazard as this vehicle suddenly stop without warning while driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. while the contact was merging into highway traffic, the accelerator pedal suddenly became stuck and caused the vehicle to accelerate. during the failure, the speed increased to more than approximately 80 mph and several warning indicators illuminated, including the service engine and throttle. the accelerator pedal eventually became unstuck and the vehicle was shut off. after restarting the engine, the sensor warnings were no longer illuminated and the vehicle operated normally. falls motor city (4100 state rd, cuyahoga fall, oh) was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not contacted. the cause of the failure was not determined. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 46,817.
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.
At 4,000 miles, stalled three times, three days in a row. took it in & they said the engine is burning off oil too quickly. no lights came on, just kept stalling. *dt consumer stated engine stopped running.*jb
My vehicle has stalled when stopped at an intersection or on the highway in stop & go traffic. it's happened several times and the jeep dealer tells me this will happen when it needs an oil change. i purchased my vehicle in june 2018 and ave 11,800 miles on the car and have had 3 oil changes, due to the vehicle shutting down while stopped.
The vehicle was in motion on highway 180. the vehicles service engine light, transmission light, electronic parking brake, and service hill holder turned on. i stopped the vehicle in the sholder. i checked the transmission and engine oil and both were good. i tried putting the vehicle on drive and the electronic parking light came on and stopped the vehicle from going on drive. the light stayed on for the electronic braking service. i was able to take it off the brake still with the service lights on. i was going to shift it into drive when it made a strong popping and screeching sound on the transmission when placed on reverse. i moved it to drive and it did the samething. i tried giving it gas and the d for drive would just blink and the vehicle would not move. i waited 30 minutes and tried moving it but nothing happened. i switched the gear from parking to drive hearing the popping sound as i shifted from the p r n d. i was able to drive it for 10-15 minutes and the transmission started heating up from 180f to 192f. while leaving the vehicle stopped for a while the transmission temp did cool off but i will have it serviced since i am still stopped at the highway with my family while writing this.
Over the past week, i have had about 10 instances where my new (6 month old - ~5k mile) jeep compass died in the middle of driving. i was unable to accelerate, move, or anything. the only action i could do was to brake. during a handful of these instances, i was in a parking garage, gas station or on a side street where i was able to safely pull over and figure out how to resolve the issue. the other times, i was driving to/from work in the city of boston. these events were extremely terrifying and there was nothing i could have done without warning to prevent being stuck immobile in these intersections. when this happens, i have to put the car in park, remove the parking brake (which automatically turns on while driving), then shut off the car, then turn on the car again (where the engine turns over a few times first), then it's "good" to drive again. i took the car to my jeep dealer (where i purchased the vehicle) to have the issue inspected/oil changed. as a result, they concluded that the engine on my jeep has an unresolvable issue from the manufacturer where the engine burns oil more than advertised, unlike the 2016 version of this vehicle.they confirm that no message or engine light code appeared, and the only way to prevent this would be to check the oil constantly. they showed a print out from their system that stated my car has 5 quarts of oil, and each 1 quart of oil should last ~5k miles. therefore, the oil should not be low enough to stall an engine @ 6 months/5k miles. this is absolutely not acceptable in a new vehicle. i have no indication when a problem exists. if i received some sort of warning/dashlight (really anything), i would know the car is not safe to drive until an issue is addressed. however, this does not happen, so i have to manually check the oil when i have no expertise in doing so in order to identify the issue.
Car is burning through oil too fast. it has stalled on me (without warning) 5 or 6 times in the past 8 months due to low oil. took to dealer twice and was told to just get an oil change-they refuse to check anything else and that this is typical of the compass. i should not have to spend the money to get frequent oil changes on a car using synthetic oil. i do not feel safe driving in a vehicle that could shut off at anytime without warning. this happened at 8100 miles.
4800 miles made month follow up over next week tried to turn off stop/start feature to see what happened for next 6 months mpg. . i have been told it is a coincidence not the issue but my car started shutting off 2/3 into turn, going up a slight incline, couple times slowing down for traffic light, but not at a stop and didn't want to restart. day of car follow up 3 times turning right it dies and low oil pressure flicked on for about a second. was told needed a new engine then today told chrysler engineers said no its something with new car and solvent causing oil issue it was too low but not leaking out/ i'm told they will check oil consumption every 1000 miles and stand by product, local dealer said come back at 500 miles. what if it dies in heavy traffic or on highway? traded an oil burning audi for jeep it can't be good for the engine but now i'm faced with new car and worried it will die causing me to end up a statistic. why didn't light come on earlier and why only a second to warn when the car was already shut down when it warned me? some recalls were made why isn't mine or others i'm reading about?
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 owns a 2018 jeep compass. the contact stated that the vehicle kept losing oil and more had to be added. additionally, while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and the oil pressure warning indicator illuminated. the contact called pellegrino chrysler jeep (241 glassboro rd, woodbury heights, nj 08097, (856) 848-7474) who stated that the vehicle was working as designed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 58460594. the manufacturer informed the contact to have an oil consumption test. the failure mileage was 5,235.*dt consumer stated first time car stalled only had about 2500 miles. consumer had to shut the car off and on. car has stalled twice. at the moment consumer has 5300 miles and will be getting first oil change.*jb
While driving the jeep compassm with less than 5k miles, the car shut off while i was going about 35 mph without warning and locked the steering and everything. i took it to the jeep dealer and without hesitation, they knew that it needed a brand new engine because the car "should not be burning oil this quickly." they made it seem as though this occurs extremely frequently and i have read several forums about people having the same issue just by looking up "jeep compass burning oil." this is an extremely hazardous situation and should be addressed immediately. *dt consumer stated dealer told him rings and pistons in the engine and that the old engine was burning a crazy amount of oil engine was burning a tremendous amount of oil, dealer hinted that a recall may happen because how common the problem was.*jb
I leased a 2018 jeep compass limited 4x4 - was driving went to onto a side street from a busy main street , my jeep stalled and the low oil pressure light came on for a split second , as i costed off to the side of the road - my vehicle would not restart right away - it took a minute to restart - the vehicle is only 6 months old and only has 5095 mile on it - i took it to the dealership and the service guy stated that the engine is known for" burning oil " or using more than usual and there would need to be a case started on this to see if the vehicle will be repaired . this is not acceptable to me this is a brand new car - there should not be any issues . the company should stand behind the customer - not make them take the product back and fourth 3 or 4 times before they will do anything
Three times this has happened while driving. slowing to stop at a light on a highway in heavy traffic. slowing down at a stop sign on side street no traffic. turn with acceleration off a heavy congested area to side road. no accident to report, but could have been a major one at the busiest intersection in town. the 3rd incident the check engine light came on. had it read and code p2172 is throttle actuator control system. all 3 times were within 8 days.
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
Purchased vehicle in november 2018, within 3 months it had burned all oil with only 4k miles usage. after an oil change, all oil was burned again within 3 weeks. in may took it for another oil change, once again dangerously low. within 2 months (8k miles) received multiple oil pressure alerts and contacted dealership to start oil consumption tests. dealership just changed oil and told me to come back in 1000 miles. currently only 3 weeks later and continuing to receive new oil pressure alerts and upon checking oil levels, it's burned 3 qts and is dangerously low again. dealership refuses to do anything other than top off fluids, while using my free oil changes with my jeep wave program to change oil/ top off fluids. current mileage 8863k .
The vehicle burns through oil very fast. the day before my last oil change the car shut off in the middle of the road after a message popped up saying pull over. i was on a curve on a dirt road going slow and didn't even have enough time to pull over. when trying to restart the car and all kind of alerts flash. finally the car started, the next day the oil was changed at the dealer, they don't check the level before they change the oil they say. their fix, dielectric grease on the door. now at the exact mileage the next oil change is due, we oil checked before going to the dealer and it is so low it barely showed on the dip stick. a car with 22k miles should not run out of oil.
I was making a right hand turn into traffic on a busy highway when my brand new 2018 jeep compass stalled out. i had to quickly drift to safety and put on my hazard lights and try to start the car again. i took about a minute to start again. after that it happened several more times all when i was in the middle of driving. i called the dealer and was told that it usually means it needs an oil change. i had the car for 3 months and was told i should check the oil every 500 to 1000 miles even though the car takes oil and should be good for about 5,000 miles. never once did i receive any warning lights. i fear for my safety when driving this vehicles. *dt *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.
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.
