2018 Jeep Compass

Car stalled at stop light. Threw on emergency brake, flashes ESC system fail. Auto stop/start flashes unable to work. Car wouldn’t move. Put in park tried to turn off wouldn’t shut down. Had to put on flashers as I couldn’t move. Finally after three tries putting it into park it shut down and was able to restart. This has happened 4 times now and doesn’t matter if I’m motion or stopped. It will shut down while driving down regular roads.

2/12/2022 while exiting Ohio Turnpike STRT 280 exit, while at toll booth driver’s window down, vehicle in drive foot on brake, paying toll, no engine warning lights, vehicle dies! Pleanty of fuel, pleanty of battery power vehicle would not start, it now seamed that every trouble light was flashing! Two tows and $900.00 later vehicle is as my dealers! If it died a mile earlier, while driving 70 mph, I would not be completing this form! Window down, in 20 degree temperature weather, my wife and I are SR Citizens!

I took the Jeep in for radiator warranty work because it was leaking really really bad, and causing the heat to blow out ice cold. The dealership I got the Jeep from replaced the radiator and the very next day the jeep was still blowing out cold air instead of heat, and this time the jeep was sputtering and shaking and it cut off on me and my daughter at a stop light. I had to wait 15 minutes in traffic for it to start back up. I immediately called the dealership and had the Jeep there the following morning only for them to tell me they tested the vehicle and didn’t get anything to happen. I’m sick and tired of that dealership lying, and this jeep is not safe. And now the vehicle showed a error message on the screen saying coolant temperature to high, shutting vehicle down. It shut off in the middle of traffic AGAIN and I was almost rear ended!!! I don’t know what else to do.

My remote starter always has a problem. I turn it on it turns off. I have had the smart battery changed. There is always a notification stating pull over car will shut down soon. Then that activates the engine light to come on. Then the remote starter is deactivated. I turn off the car everything disappears like nothing happened a few minutes later I get the same notification pull over safely car will shut off soon.

Engine sputtering, stalling, then shutting down during intersection turns while trying to move from a stationary position, etc. This started happening only recently during colder temperatures here in Michigan, December 2021, and has only happened at the second intersection on a declined roadway, and only if the vehicle engine has not been "warmed up". This issues has now occurred 4 times at the same declining intersection. My daughter drives this vehicle and transports herself and my 3 grandchildren!

On 3 separate occasions since we purchased the vehicle, the Start/Stop function, where it shuts down at a light or Stop sign, has failed to restart the vehicle upon pressing the gas pedal. We have had to have the vehicle towed for service each time, and they are now replacing the starter again after having replaced it and the fuse link, as well as battery issues related to the start/stop function. Each time, this has happened in intersection (stop light). We have almost been rear ended or hit because the vehicle is now impeding the flow of traffic and has to be put into neutral and pushed off the road, then towed, as it will not start back up without repair. We have always taken it to an official MOPAR/CDRJ service center for repair. It has less than 16,000 miles on it. There was no warning or indication this was going to occur each time, it just fails to start back up after the start/stop function activates.
