2018 Jeep Compass

MY JEEP COMPASS TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE PARKING BREAK TURNS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, MORE THAN 4 TIMES. TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID DON'T WORRY YOU JUST NEED AN OIL CHANGE. I STATED THAT MY CHECK OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, AND THE CHANGE YOUR OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW? THE LIGHT ONLY FLASHES FOR A SECOND, UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES, I WAS UNAWARE THE LIGHT FLASHED. I WAS TO BUSY TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAD TO TURN ON HAZARDS, FIGURE OUT THE PARKING BREAK ENGAGED AND PANIC. THAT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I INQUIRED IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS DUE TO THE ISSUE. THE ANSWER WAS NOT YET. THE 2.4 BURNS OIL, EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FIND ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT LEAST 6 MORE YEARS. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. THE JEEP HAS DIED BACKING UP IN PARKING LOT. THE JEEP DIES DURING TURNING BOTH RIGHT AND LIGHT ON BUSY STREETS. AND ONCE, I TURNED LEFT DROVE 4 CARS LENGTH AND STOPPED DEAD IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN LESS THEN ONE MILE INTO MY MORNING COMMUTE AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD OUT OF MY DEVELOPMENT. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND NOTHING INDICATED WHY THE CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. WHEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALER AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT IN AS MANY DAYS, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS LOW OR OUT OF OIL AND SHUTTING DOWN IS A SAFETY FEATURE AS IS ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN TRAFFIC. I WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER MONTH BASED ON JEEP'S RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE, BUT I WAS FORCED TO DO ONE SO THEY COULD VERIFY THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE COMPASS HAS A NEW HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENGINE AND THESE NEW ENGINES ARE SO EFFICIENT THEY BURN/LEAK OIL, AND I AM TO CHECK MY OIL EVERY 500-1000 MILES AND ALWAYS HAVE A QUART IN THE CAR TO TOP IT OFF. WHEN I ASKED WHY THERE WASN'T A DASHBOARD INDICATOR THE OIL WAS LOW I WAS TOLD THE COMPASS DOES NOT HAVE SUCH AN INDICATOR. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, MY FAMILY'S, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS AS I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN AGAIN.

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 AND FORTH FROM SCHOOL, WORK, CHURCH ETC. AND I CAN'T EVEN RELY ON IT THIS IS FRUSTRATING THIS CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS THIS MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. I'M LITERALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE ANYMORE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET IT'S SOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. I LITERALLY LOOK UP EVERYDAY TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED OR IF I'VE RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND NOTHING! THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ASAP

5/2018, WE BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP COMPASS SPORT WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AND GAP INSURANCE. WE WERE DILIGENT ON GETTING OIL CHANGED PER RECOMMENDATIONS. 8/2018, PULLING OUT IN INTERSECTION, VEHICLE DIED, SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS HAPPEND A FEW MORE TIMES WE TOOK IN FOR SERVICE. 11/2018, (WELL WITHIN THE LEMON LAW GUIDELINES)WE TOOK TO THE WAXAHACHIE. THEY INSPECTED IT/CHANGED OIL, THEY TOLD US IT WAS LOW ON OIL, THAT THE DYING OF THE CAR WAS A SAFETY MECHANISM AND WE JUST NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL MORE OFTEN. KEEP IN MIND, THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED PER VEHICLE RECOMMENDATIONS. WE BEGAN CHANGING THE OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. THE VEHICLE STILL DIED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, GOING DOWN THE TOLLWAY, PULLING OUT ON THE SERVICE ROAD TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS WITH CHILDREN IN VEHICLE. 10/1/2019, FRUSTRATED/CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR SERVICE. AT THIS TIME IT HAD ONLY BEEN 2000 MILES SINCE THE WAS OIL CHANGED, WAS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND WE NEVER GOT A RECALL. HAD US BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IN EVERY 1000 MILES FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. 10/15/2019, 2 QTS LOW AFTER 1000 MILES. THEY ORDERED NEW ENGINE. THEY WERE BACKED UP SO ON11/12/19 THEY CALLED TO BRING CAR IN FOR NEW ENGINE 11/22, WE PICKED UP CAR, DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES, OVERHEATED. WE RETURNED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY KEPT IT/WE PICKED UP 11/26, DROVE TWO MILES/DIED GOING DOWN SERVICE ROAD. WE TOOK BACK. 12/2, PICKED UP/ WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DURING TEST DRIVE. LEFT THERE. PICKED UP 12/4/19. 1/4/20,VEHICLE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO WAXAHACHIE.10 DAYS LATER, THEY SAID NEEDS NEW ENGINE. 3RD ENGINE/LESS THAN 2 YEAR OLD CAR. GOAL IS GET THEM TO BUY BACK FOR WHAT WE OWE, REFUND DOWN PAYMENT, TRADE IN, REMAINDER OF WARRANTY/GAP INSURANCE. NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE!

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.

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.

OIL BURNING UP WAY BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE. CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE STALL OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH. MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 39000 WHILE MAKING THE TURN A QUICK CHIME AND OIL PRESSURE LOW CAME ON AND DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED. COME TO FIND OUT THAT WAS WAS OIL ON DIPSTICK. NO WARNINGS

SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES COMES ON RANDOMLY. I CAN LITERALLY BE DRIVING AND COME TO A STOP SIGN AND IT COMES ON. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE OTHERS TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. MY CAR HAS ALSO FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR HAD CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE WITH A BRAND NEW CAR.
