2018 Jeep Compass

THE VEHICLE BURNS THROUGH OIL VERY FAST. THE DAY BEFORE MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AFTER A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING PULL OVER. I WAS ON A CURVE ON A DIRT ROAD GOING SLOW AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR AND ALL KIND OF ALERTS FLASH. FINALLY THE CAR STARTED, THE NEXT DAY THE OIL WAS CHANGED AT THE DEALER, THEY DON'T CHECK THE LEVEL BEFORE THEY CHANGE THE OIL THEY SAY. THEIR FIX, DIELECTRIC GREASE ON THE DOOR. NOW AT THE EXACT MILEAGE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE, WE OIL CHECKED BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALER AND IT IS SO LOW IT BARELY SHOWED ON THE DIP STICK. A CAR WITH 22K MILES SHOULD NOT RUN OUT OF OIL.

SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS CAR, IT HAS UNEXPECTEDLY COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. LAST YEAR, IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN THE SHEEPSHEAD BAY AREA OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN WHILE DRIVING IF THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL. IT WAS NOT AS ASCERTAINED BY THAT DEALERSHIP. THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" HAS PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN IMMINENT DANGER AS THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY AND BELT PARKWAY IN NEW YORK. ON SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2019, MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH 4 PEOPLE IN THIS CAR AND ONCE AGAIN IT SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING 55MPH. FORTUNATELY, HE WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY BEFORE HE WAS REAR ENDED AVOIDING TRAGEDY. HE PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE ON 168TH STREET IN MANHATTAN WHILE UTILIZING CITY STREETS. THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN 6 MORE TIMES BEFORE REACHING SAFETY. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP ON HYLAN BLVD. IN STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK. WE WERE INFORMED THAT IT WILL NOT EVEN BE EVALUATED FOR ANOTHER WEEK TO 10 DAYS. CHRYSLER DOES NOT PROVIDE RENTALS NOR DOES MY INSURANCE COMPANY ALLOW RENTALS UNLESS THE AUTO WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND ASKED A FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS HAPPENING TO HER, TOO. I AM APPALLED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUPPOSED LOW OIL IN THE ENGINE. MY SON HAD THE OIL CHANGED 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS LATEST INCIDENT. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT EVEN WHEN THIS CAR IS ALLEGEDLY REPAIRED ONCE AGAIN, THAT MY SON WILL BE DRIVING THIS CAR FROM STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK, TO THE CANARSIE SECTION OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN. I WOULD LIKE TO TERMINATE THE LEASE IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE.

DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED. ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL AS THIS VEHICLE USES OIL. VEHICLE HAS 5612 MILES ON IT. OIL WAS ADDED AND THEN ADVISED I NEEDED TO BRING IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. ONLY THING I WAS ADVISED WAS THAT MUST BRING IN VEHICLE FOR NEXT 2000 MILES THEN AGAIN 2000 MILES MORE. SO AT THIS TIME, I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT STALLS AND NOT GIVEN A REASON AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF, AND ANY ONE ELSE THAT IS ON THE ROAD WITH ME WHEN VEHICLE JUST DECIDES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING.

THE JEEP STALLS, SHUTS OFF AND TURNS ON ITS OWN E BRAKE WHEN IT RUNS LOW ON OIL. BUT IT RUNS OUT OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES!!!!!!! IVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP AND THEY SAY, OH THATS NORMAL !?!?!?!?! IVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES GOING AROUND A ROUND A BOUT AND HAVING IT LOCK UP LIKE THAT BECAUSE ITS LOW ON OIL - AND IM GOING BROKE BUYING OIL CHANGES ALL THE TIME THIS CAR IS HORRIBLE, ALSO THE RADIO COMPLETELY AND RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, DISPLAY EVERYTHING - WHILE DRIVING!

THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT AN EXTREMELY FAST RATE. EVERY 3,000 MILES THERE IS NO OIL LEFT IN THE CAR AND THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME. *DT CONSUMER STATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS DONE BUT DEALER TOLD CONSUMER IT WAS NORMAL TO STALL.*JB

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED FIVE TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED IT HAS BEEN HOT OUT. THE CAR STALLS AND SEVERAL ERROR LIGHTS FLASH; PARKING BREAK, HILL-STOP, OIL-CHANGE, ETC.. THE CAR THEN WON'T TURN OFF, BUT JUST STAYS IN ON MODE BUT WILL NOT MOVE. JEEP WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, THE CAR IS 'FINE'. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. THIS IS A KNOWN AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT IT.

I WAS DRIVING 44MPH HEADED TO A RED LIGHT WITH A 4 LANE HIGHWAY COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE JEEP SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS GOING 44MPH AND I HAD NO STEERING, NO BREAKS, NO POWER AT ALL. I KEPT HITTING RESTART AND FINALLY THE ENGINE KICKED BACK ON, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP D'AMBROSIO IN DOWNINGTOWN, PA. WHEN JEEP SHUT OFF WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SAYING "LOW OIL PRESSURE". NO LIGHTS APPEARED PRIOR TO JEEP SHUTTING OFF WHILE GOING 44MPH. I ALMOST DIED! WHILE AT DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PARTS GUY'S WIFE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER WHILE DRIVING HER JEEP JUST STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. EASTER SUNDAY MY BROTHER TOLD ME HIS FRIEND CALLED HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT HIS WIFE'S JEEP SHUT OFF WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME ON THIS 2018 JEEP COMPASS WITH ONLY 5000K MILES THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMES ENGINE OIL LEAVING IT VERY LOW WITH ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 2000K MILES. THE FIRST TIME I ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WAS ON THE FREEWAY HEADING HOME WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AS WELL, AS IF IT WERE STRUGGLING. THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT THE NEXT COUPLE OF TIMES AS I DROVE ON THE STREET THE VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF A FEW TIMES. IT WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT IT STRUGGLED A LITTLE TO TURN ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT 2000K MILES THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOESNT LEAK ANY OIL. THEY ALSO DID A FEW UPDATES TO THE VEHICLE COMPUTER BECAUSE IF WAS IN NEED OF UPDATES. NOW VEHICLES IS AT 5OOOK MILES AND ONCE AGAIN VERY LOW OIL IN ENGINE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE DOESNT STALL OR HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN TO GET IT CHECKED ABOUT THE CONSUMPTION.

I WAS DRIVING 44 MPH HEADED TO A RED LIGHT INTERSECTION WITH 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHEN MY JEEP SHUT OFF I HAD NO STEERING, NO BREAKS AND NO ENGINE RUNNING. I WAS MOVING FORWARD AT 44MPH UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND KEPT HITTING THE START BUTTON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE CAR RESTARTED SAYING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AND GETTING KILED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP D'AMBROSIO AUTO GROUP. OIL WAS CHECKED AND I WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE HAD 3,650 MILES ON IT AND IT'S BRAND NEW. MAINTENANCE SAYS OIL CHANGE AT 10K MILES. SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO THE PARTS MGR. SISTER. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY 1 OTHER PERSON THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. SERVICE MGR. TOLD ME TO BRING VEHICLE BACK IN 2K MILES AND IF OIL IS LOW THEY WOULD REPLACE ENGINE AT NO CHARGE. *DT*JB
