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.

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
