2018 Jeep Compass

FIRST MY RADIO CUTS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. SECOND, I'VE BEEN NOTICING MY OIL LIGHT COMING ON MANY TIMES. I CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE I'M PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR. 3 RD, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A STRIP MALL WHEN MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY I WASN'T IN TRAFFIC YET. MANY TIMES WHEN I START MY CAR AND START MOVING MY CAR STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIME THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE. EVERY 600-1000 MILES I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL. IT IS ALWAYS LOW AND I BELIEVE THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE STALL PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN OCTOBER 2018 BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TROUBLE EVER SINCE I HIT 3000 MILES. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!!

THE VEHICLE AT ANY KNOWN TIME GOES INTO THE PARKING BRAKE MODE AND STALLS! THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM AND TWICE WE WERE ADVISED TO CHANGE THE OIL? THE OIL CHANGES WHICH SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ENTERTAINED HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT UP TO DATE. MY QUESTION SHOULD WE CHANGE THE OIL BEFORE OR AFTER THE SEVERITY OF THE ACCIDENT THAT CAN OCCUR DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. AND WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM.ARE YOU WAITING TILL SOMEONE DIES BEFORE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT? THAT WOULD SURELY SORE SALES? NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS IS GOING ON SO LONG.IT HAS OCCURRED ON THREE INCIDENTS NOW HIGHWAY AND SIDE STREET , IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

PURCHASED NEW COMPASS FROM BEST JEEP IN PLYMOUTH MA. AFTER FIRST OIL CHANGE, JUST BEFORE SECOND 13,000 MILES (STICKER SAYS TO GO EVERY 7,000 MILES) LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD. TOOK 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO SAFE ZONE, OIL DRIPPING WAS NOTICEABLE UNDER CAR AND I BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. GOT CAR BACK AND THEY NOTED NO OIL LEAK FOUND AND SAW SPILLED OIL AT FILLER SPOT. I PUT OIL IN THE CAR, THERE WAS NO OIL SPILLED AROUND THE FILLER. WHEN I LOOKED, DEALERSHIP HAD TAKEN, WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN OILY RAG, AND WIPED ALL AROUND THAT AREA. THEN TRIED TO BLAME ME. GOT CAR HOME, OIL WAS STILL DRIPPING. CALLED, MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. THEY THEN WROTE ON THE WORK ORDER "VERIFIED, SERVICE MANAGER DOCUMENTED OIL UNDER VEHICLE. THEY PUT DIE IN OIL, CLEANED UP PRESENT OIL ON OUTSIDE OF ENGINE. WENT BACK TO DEALER AFTER 300 MILES, OIL WAS DOWN HALF A QUART, BUT DEALER SAID NO LEAKS FOUND. WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGE FOR A NEW ENGINE TO BURN UP TO 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1000 MILES. THIS MEANS THE ENGINE IS ALREADY SHOWING 1 QUART OF OIL APROX EVERY 600 MILES. NOW I HAVE TO DO AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" EVERY 1000 MILES. AFTER READING WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN LOW OIL PRESSURE HAPPENS, CAR SHUTTING DOWN AND LOCKING UP SO CANT BE DRIVEN, HAS HAPPENED. ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT, THEN TRYING TO LEAVE A PARKING SPOT. I THOUGHT IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR AND I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE. MY FAULT FOR NOT FOLLOWING UP WITH DEALER, HOWEVER IF HAPPENS AGAIN, CAR WILL BE JUST TOWED FROM SPOT. TO ME, THIS IS AN ISSUE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT AND IS PUTTING PROFITS OVER LIVES. THE COST OF A LIFE IF THE CAR SHUTS DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSECTION WITH NO WARNING, IF FAR LESS THAN WHAT IT WILL COST THEM TO STEP UP AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND CORRECT. I JUST PRAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY.*DT*JB

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE CARE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WHEN TAKING A TURN, BUT MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SERVICE AUTO START STOP WILL COME ON AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CAR WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE IN THE ROAD. WHEN WE TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE BOTH BATTERIES. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN ONE YEAR. I COULD UNDERSTAND ONE BATTERY, BUT WHY WOULD BOTH GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. IN RESEARCHING I SAW THAT THERE WAS VOLTAGE REGULATOR RECALL; HOWEVER, WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THIS DOES NOT INVOLVE OUR VIN. THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AROUND TOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE MADE A ROARING SOUND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN SIX MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DIFFERENT DEALERS EIGHT TIMES AND FOUR NEW DIFFERENTIALS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE FIAT (2020 NIAGARA FALLS BLVD, TONAWANDA, NY 14150, (716) 616-3299) WHERE THE PTU AND ANOTHER UNKNOWN UPDATE WERE COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,425.

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.
