I came down a hill in my neighborhood, street then became level and i came to stop sign, i stopped and my engine died and my emergency brake came on. i had to remove foot from brake, put back on brake, restart engine and then i could disengage emergency brake. dealer is telling me this because it was low on oil. but i wasn't even due for a few hundred miles for an oil change.
Brakes have a terrible grinding noise when i stop, i was told it was abs system, i have never had a car or loaner that made such a scarey noise. it has been worked 5 times in the last 6 months brake changes, rotars, sanding down etc. still dies it
When making left or right turns, it goes into 4wd. doesn't matter if you're on the roadway or turning into a parking spot or even backing up. feels like something grabbing in either the front or back can't really tell. makes grinding noise. took back to the dealer twice now and they also say it was the 4wd that they can't fix anything because jeep knows about the problem and we have to wait for jeep to do a recall. it gets worse every day. they say they can not give us a paper because of waiting on the recall. only had this car for 3 months and nobody wants to fix the problem.
My car emergency brake light button has turned on all byitself while i am driving. the car stops and shuts off. then i am in the middle of the road and i have to put my car in park, press the pull on p button to turn it off. this is a safety issue. a car behind can crash into me. this has happened 5 times since february, this morning was my 6 time. i do not feel safe in my car anymore, afraid of turning off while i am driving
Takara recall. i woke up in the am to go to meet my friend, stated jeep, it was running funny.so i put in reverse and pukked out of driveway, got to a stop sign, jeep would not go, no gas or just like it was running out of gas.parking brake went on had to shut it off and start it again. than pulled on to hywy 65 and it like stalled, no gas power att all, steering was hard ,could not turn the wheel. and check engine lite went on,! and checked the oil because that keeps going on to.(just got an oil change)had too put in 2 quarts of oil. it is going somewhere? if there was alot of traffic i would have been killed. there are days my radio has a mind of it's own? it will just change channels or freeze up. my passenger window has a mind of it own somedays it will role downbeat ok , next day or hours it wont work again? all thede malfuntions makes my anxiety off the charts. it is sad when it is your vehicle and your scared to drive it. i have 4 recalls and no one told me ,i had to look them up to get them. that is horrible peoples lives are in danger! i hope that someone else doesnt have to be scared to dive there jeep. like me.
My daughter purchased a brand new 2017 jeep compass from papas dodge in new britain, ct. the stop/start feature on this vehicle intermittently fails. when this occurs the vehicle is in motion and the engine stalls causing loss of steering and brakes. the dealer apparently can not emulate the problem but they do not drive it on a daily basis. my daughter is terrified to drive this car and was almost in an accident as a result. also, this vehicle has excessive oil consumption. have to add 1 1/2 quart between oil changes.
The ess system activated when i stopped for a red light. when the light changed and i let go the break, the engine sputtered and the emergency break turned itself on, the wheel became very stiff and the breaks became very hard to press, cause me to roll forward when i tried stopping. the only way i could regain full control was to restart the car while i was in the middle of an intersection.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep compass. while driving at an unknown speed, the brakes did not engage and the brake-on warning indicator illuminated. also, when the vehicle was in park, it rolled away and did not stop with the emergency brake being applied. the vehicle was taken to susanville auto center (530-257-5092, located at 704-485 richmond rd e, susanville, ca 96130) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 16,500.
My jeep compas was built 8-2016 and is making a extremely loud grinding noise. i took my vehicle to get looked at and they rotated the tires. they stated the tires are in excellent condition and stated that it maybe the axel or internally because exterior visual inspection everything was fine. i came home and put the car in park and it was still rolling and i put the emergency brake on and that was making a grinding noise also. i no longer feel safe driving my vehicle. i need my vehicle to be added to recall t-26 as i am not going to pay for these repairs upfront. the grinding noise just seems to be getting louder. i do not want to operate the vehicle and loose control while driving my kids to school or even just driving to the dealership for repairs.
I was on hwy going speed limit and the car in front stopped really fast and i put on my brakes and the engine got more power like the gas paddle was stuck i could not stop i had to go down the shoulder about a mile before the truck would stop and i was pushing down on the brake the whole time
The brakes on the compass are very sensitive. while driving or from a cold start, applying the brakes at slow speeds will cause the vehicle to lurch to an almost emergency stop. i own 4 vehicles and none of the other cars have brakes as touchy as these. my family refuses to drive the compass because of the brake issue. the dealer tells me there is no recall or tsb on this issue.
Stop system that stops the car at red lights for fuel econom. my car would all of the sudden accelerate without my putting foot on gas peddle. took to dealer. he said there was a known issue with it, and wiped the memory and did an update . my concern is that when it did this i almost got into an accident with another car in front of me. it accelerated so fast i almost lost control too. when they test drove it they couldn't find anything wrong. but when they hooked it up to find any error codes they found 2. that's when they discovered the problem. my biggest concern is that they said it was a kniwn issue yet no recall to bring my car in for the updated fix. hadvi not been trained for situations like this i or someone else could have gotten killed.the vehicle was in motion going down hill i was riding the brake because of the hill. when i had let up off the brake slightly that's when it accelerated so fast i almost lost control.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep compass. while driving between 25-30 mph, the emergency brake indicator illuminated. the contact stated that all the instrument panel indicators illuminated and she was instructed to park and restart the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to sansone chrysler jeep dodge (90-100 us-1, avenel, nj 07001), but the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 10,000. the vin was not provided.
02/05/2018......bought the vehicle november 2017. twice already while driving on the highway through rush hour traffic the dash display started flashing erratically and the car lost all power, a total shut down. no radio, no dash, no brakes, no steering. luckily traffic was moving each time. after approximately a city block the car restarts. dealer tested the car and could not replicate the problem after driving it 20 miles with a computer connected. i feel this can be life threatening and should be investigated before the inevitable happens. i have 2 small children and my wife with me most of the time. they recommend driving it to see if it happens again. i'm no longer comfortable driving this vehicle.
