2018 Jeep Compass

2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH AROUND 40,000 MILES WILL SHUT OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS 30-70 MPH, LEAVING THE POWER STEERING, ELECTRICAL, AND ENGINE DISABLED UNTIL THE CAR IS PARKED, POWER IS OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN THE CAR WILL TURN BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES TO THIS VEHICLE IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS.

I TOOK IN MY VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO GET A FIX ON A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE. IT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM WHEN I HAD MY AC ON AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD MAKE A JERKING MOVEMENT WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. WELL TODAY I GET IN MY CAR TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE DMV AND AS I'M LEAVING THE STREET I LIVE ON MY CAR STOPS WITH NO WARNING. I LET IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN; IT HESITATES TO TURN ON MAKING A WEIRD SOUND THEN TURNS ON ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT STARTS TO DRIVE BUT THEN JERKS AND COMPLETELY STOPS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND IF I KNEW I WOULD HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES WITH IT AND BE FEARFUL THAT I COULD'VE GOTTEN INTO A CRASH OR WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY- I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT!

MY VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DOWN SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 40 & 50 MILES AND IT HAS CUT OFF ON ME SEVERAL TIMES WHEN TUNING THE CORNERS AND SOMETHING ALWAYS SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RATTLING. I'VE TAKEN IT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE NO CODES POP UP THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO INSPECT IT. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THESE ISSUES SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN ALL OF MY FUNCTIONS LIGHT UP OR IT TELLS ME MY KEY IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S IN PLAIN SITE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET OR FREEWAY.

VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING STREET OR HIGHWAY. SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAR DECELERATES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BACK UP CAMERA INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. I AM SURE THERE IS MORE BUT AT THIS TIME THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT AS MY DAUGHTER, SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDBABIES ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD 250 MILES FROM HOME. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE TODAY WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHT.
