2018 Jeep Compass

I was getting my car serviced, I was getting a State inspection the mechanic told me they could not inspect the vehicle due to the fact that a headlight was not working.. they tried replacing the headlight it still did not work.. I had to leave without getting my vehicle inspected!! I was going to try to take it to the dealer to try and get it fixed.. I checked on line and found several other Jeep owners of this make and model also 2018 Jeep Compass had electrical problems involving the headlights.. at times I would turn vehicle on and both lights would be on. On other times only one headlight would be working. Some times if I would cycle thru the switch both lights would come on, other times not.. This is unsafe driving around with one headlight and not knowing when it will happen.I have spoken to both dealerships in the area, and they are no help.. they want me to bring vehicle in to troubleshoot the problem openended I do not have the money for this and Since it is happening to other people with this particular year and make vehicle I think it is a problem that should be looked into..by Jeep! This just started on my vehicle when the mileage reached approximately 32,000 miles I have owned this vehicle since 2019. Thanks for any help available..

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and was jerking. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to the residence and used an ODB scanner but was unable to retrieve a fault code. The contact started the vehicle and the vehicle drove as intended. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on 3 separate occasions. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,500.

Jeep Compass shut off without warning at highway speeds, in the middle of highway route 1 while I was going 50 miles per hour. State police had to stay while I got car towed out of road hazards way. When this has happened, the vehicle was no longer able to accelerate, and the power steering did not work. Loss of power steering made the vehicle difficult to steer off the roadway to safety.

I was hit from behind on the interstate 2 weeks ago. My Jeep Compass was stopped in heavy traffic on the interstate. A large white pickup truck hit my car first going at least 80 mph. He did not see that traffic was stopped. This caused my jeep to roll and come to a stop on the passenger side on the ground and the driver side in the air. My airbags did deploy, but not on impact. They deployed after the jeep came to a stop on it's side. After impact and after rolling. The airbags were not useful after the jeep stopped moving. This needs to be addressed. I was hurt and did go to the ER. I did not have any passengers, thankfully, they may not have survived that. My seatbelt held me in well, it was hard to get out of it and I have many bruises from the seatbelt. My only issue was the timing of the airbags. They were very late to deploy. Thought you should know. If this happens to others in an accident, many people will be hurt. The vehicle was only inspected by the insurance company to determine the repair costs and then declared a total loss. I am not sure if anyone else inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lights prior to the accident. I tried to upload photos, but it would not work. I do have photos and a police report from this accident.

The vehicle just stopped functioning in the middle of me driving on a road with no shoulder, it spontaneously decelerated the gas did nothing, and ultimately rolled to a stop. I shut it off and it never restarted, the ignition button just made a terrible noise. I was left stranded in a bad service area no longer with the benefit of my car’s wifi because it wouldnt turn on.

While I’m at a stop sign or light, and I let my foot off the break, the high coolant temp light comes on and the car stalls. This has happened at least 30 times over the last 3 years. Today I was almost killed in an accident crossing a busy intersection because I stalled in the middle of the crossing after stopping at a stop sign. I’ve brought the jeep to dealerships and shops and none of them can recreate the event so they don’t know what’s wrong. They’ve checked everything that they can think to check. I’ve seen many complaints online of this happening to others with no resolve. What will it take? Someone is going to get killed. Sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes for the car to start again. Other times I have to have it towed. Today it took about 10 minutes with a lineup of cars behind me.
