Car has been repeatedly stalling when going into a turn or coming to a stop. low oil pressure light will flash at times while driving. stalls and low oil pressure warning flash sometimes occur at the same time, sometimes do not. car recently stalled while going 35mph on a highway. requires stopping car, putting into park, and then restarting, which takes 10-15 seconds for starter to get engine to turn over. when at idle in park, throttle does not respond to gas pedal.
While driving the car on the morning of february 16, 2020, my vehicle engine turned off without warning while taking a left turn at approximately 10mph. once the turn was complete and i pressed the pedal to accelerate, there was no response. all electronics were still on, but the speedometer showed 0mph and the engine was not running. i rolled to a stop on the shoulder and pressed the ignition to turn of the electrical systems. when pressing the ignition to restart the vehicle, it struggled to start but was successful. i continued my commute to work. it is easy to understand the risk associated with a total loss of engine power while driving on public streets. especially since the power steering was not functioning either. i still have no indication of what caused the failure and will consult my local jeep dealer.
When putting the car in reverse it would go straight untill it kicked back in gear. on highway gear switched on its own slowed down and kicked back in. i could of got in s major accident. i just brought the car on 01/17/2020
This jeep compass has auto start stop-when stopped the car will go into auto stop mode. randomly, when the car is stopped the car will completely lurch and shut down- brakes will lock and the car is inoperable. the dash will say that the emergency brake has been engaged- when in fact the emergency brake has not been touched. the car will sit in the middle of intersections completely locked and shut down for 5-7 minutes. during this time there is no option for the driver- the steering wheel will not work and the car is completely immobile. the car has been brought to the dealership at least 5 times in the past year to address this problem. the dealership has told me about how this engine uses an excessive amount of oil, and have blamed oil being the cause of the problem in multiple cases- despite frequent oil changes and the oil change notification not coming up. on the third time in the dealership, i was told that there was a system upgrade that needed to be conducted. on the 4th time i was told again it was the oil (still no oil light indicator) the 5th time ...
The engine stalls while driving. i've read this issue is present in other dodge and jeep compass models of this year, however, the recall that exists for those vehicles doesn't appear to exist for my vehicle. this is incredibly unsafe as the engine immediately stalls as i'm driving the vehicle down the road and i'm afraid of crashing.
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 ...
2.4l multiair motor burns oil at excessive rate. new car burns 1qt of oil per 850 miles. no "low oil" indicator light. when low on oil, car stalls, jolts, or shuts off. stall generally occurs when turning at low speeds (less than 30 mph). significant safety hazard if turning in front of oncoming traffic. car will stall if down 2 quarts. therefore, if you do not refill oil every 1500 miles, you risk stalling on roadways. current vehicle has 26,000 miles. normally add 5 quarts of oil between scheduled oil changes. stalling has occurred approximately 10 times. two times stall occurred in intersection, almost resulting in high speed collision from opposing traffic.
My car is not even 2 years old and it has completely shut down twice while driving. very quickly a 'low oil pressure warning' sign will flash on the dashboard, and soon after the car becomes limp and completely shuts down. it will not move and doesn't allow further driving. the dealership found my oil is low, even though i haven't even hit 2500 miles since my last oil change. they are having me come back after 500 miles to monitor oil consumption and investigate further. this is extremely frustrating and dangerous, as it has shut off when i'm on main roads with cars all around me. i'm very disappointed, as i have never had any issues with previous jeeps i've owned.
The jeep compass 2018 car just stops in the middle of driving. there is no oil light to indicate it is low on oil. this is a serious safety hazard . this has happened twice. the car eats oil. dealer said to drive for 2000 miles and bring it in . i am terrified of driving it. it needs a new engline
