2018 Jeep Compass

WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AGO ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALERSIP AND THEY SAID IF THE OIL IS LOW THERE IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND IS 3 MONTHS OLD. NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING EVER CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS A LITTLE LOW SO I ADDED A 1/2 A QUART. IN READING UP ON THIS VEHICLE IT SAYS IT BURNS QUITE A BIT OF OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE CAR BURNS THIS MUCH OIL AND THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN IF THE OIL IS A LITTLE BIT LOW. THIS IS MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING?

AT AROUND 5000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF WHEN MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "KNOWN" ISSUE AND TO COMPLAIN TO CHRYSLER. THEY CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS NEARLY 3 QUARTS LOW. THEY THEN GAVE ME THE OPTION TO JUST ADD OIL OR SINCE I WAS CLOSE TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE JUST TO HAVE THEM DO THAT. BOTH WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT I COME BACK ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE OIL ADDED, ALSO AT MY EXPENSE. I HAD THEM DO THE OIL CHANGE BUT LATER IN THE DAY IT WASN'T SITTING RIGHT WITH ME. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND ALSO A LEASE, THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND IF IT CAN'T THEN IT SURE AS HECK SHOULDN'T BE MY PROBLEM. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND THAT I COULD BLOW MY ENGINE IF I DON'T PAY ATTENTION. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER BUT I JUST WANTED OTHERS TO BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

AT AROUND 5000 MILES MY JEEP WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. BROUGHT THE JEEP BACK AFTER 2000 MILES AND AGAIN IT WAS LOW (ABOUT 2 QUARTS). THE SERVICE TECH ADMITTED IT WAS BURNING OIL BUT WILL NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS WITHIN SPEC FOR CHRYSLER ( BURNING 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES).

ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. RECEIVED MESSAGES SERVICE TRANSMISSION AND SERVICE ENGINE. COASTED TO STOP ON SHOULDER OF ROAD. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. CHECKED CODES AFTERWARDS; SHOWS P0339 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT AND P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN CAR ENGINE STOPS WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, RESTARTED, AND SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BRICK POLE. THE "STOP SWITCH NOT ENGAGED" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 180800401 WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (VATLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 855 SOUTH US HIGHWAY 1, VERO BEACH, FL 32962, (855) 859-5987), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 810. *DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT UPDATED 10/2/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE RIEHL'S ROSEVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (25800 GRATIOT AVE, ROSEVILLE, MI 48066, 586-859-2500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,200.

THE AUTO START STOP HAS MALFUNCTIONED SO MANY TIMES NOW I'VE LOST COUNT. I'VE HAD THE JEEP FOR 6 MONTHS. IT STARTED THE FIRST WEEK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF AND THE START/STOP ISSUE LIGHT DOES THE SAME. I'VE HAD IT IN AND THEY JUST CLEAR THE ERROR MESSAGES AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. VERY FRUSTRATING! THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND HAD DIFFICULTY COMING BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS!

RADIO (DISPLAY) KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AND TAKES MINUTES TO RECONNECT, BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP SAY THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT IT. HAS DONE IT 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. HERE A LOUD NOISE WHEN RUNNING BETWEEN 35PMH-45MPH, BROUGHT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOISE IS COMING FROM DRIVETRAIN, FOUND STARCASE FOR EXACT CONDITIONS AND ENGINEERING IS WORKING ON A SOULTION, NO DTC'S. WAS SENT ON MY WAY. WE JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2018. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER!

I WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE HILL ASSIST" CAME ON THE SCREEN. I KEPT DRIVING AND THE MESSAGES "SERVICE ESC" AND "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" CAME ON THE SCREEN. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE SCREEN FOR THE RADIO KEPT FLASHING ON AND OFF, AND I COULD NOT TURN THE ENGINE OFF WITH THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON, AND I EVENTUALLY GOT THE VEHICLE HOME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY BY JEEP.
