My 2019 jeep compass has had numerous safety concerns, especially related to the engine and the push-to-start feature. most recently, i have been in (d) drive, both stationary (i.e at a red light) or in motion (i.e highway, main road, side street, rotary) and both on a city street and highway when the vehicle's dashboard alerts me to shift the car into the (p) park gear. i can feel the car start to decelerate when it send this message. first, i shift the car into the desired gear (p), then brake locks itself so that i am unable to use to push-to-start feature and place the car back into drive. this has happened to me 4x/more. i have had my car in the service center at the dealership twice for the issue and they are unable to find the actual problem. it seems to me that it is the engine/push-to-start feature. in 2017 i had a defective battery and the car acted very similar, so i am thinking it may be the battery again. i filed a claim/case with jeep today. i am awaiting proper documentation from the service center in terms of invoices. my life is at risk due ...

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.
