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 ...
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.
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
On 12/12/2019 at approximately 8:30pm i was driving eastbound i-80 in utah traveling about 65mph. at mile marker 130 at the entrance to parleys canyon as i tried to accelerate my vehicle stalled, loosing power. i was able to move to the shoulder of the road but nearly rearended and several semi's needed to do quick manuevers to avoid colliding with me. there were no warnings and it was sudden power loss not previously experienced. the vehicle restarted buy i experience a similar lack of power/acceleration. i do not feel this is safe to drive and i have towed it to a jeep dealer.
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.
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.
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 ...
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
While stopped at a stop light auto start/stop turned the car off as normal. a few moments later the brake light illuminated on the dash and the electronic emergency brake turned on. i released my foot from the brake to see if the car would start back up it would not. the dash read out in park and start. i attempted however car would not start. the emergency brake would not turn off either. i had to call road side assistance for a tow. vehicle only has 11,400 miles. the car is at the dealership i am waiting on their investigation.
