2018 Jeep Compass

The truck just stopped in the middle of the highway. I came to a red light when it turned green the car would not move. The emergency brake engaged and would not disengage to allow the car to be placed in neutral. All power was loss with no warning or check engine notification. Come to find out both batteries were bad. Having the vehicle only 4 months and no one wants to take responsibility for the repairs.

The stock radio is extremely hazardous. It started to delimite. It glitches all the time and takes my focus off the road. It randomly calls people, changes important settings such as safety features like the turn signal warning alerts and other functions. It changes the climate controls as well. I have to keep it off at all times due to the issues. There are lots and lots of other jeep/doge owners who have the same issues as I do. This needs to be recalled and taken care of for the safety of people and driving.

Back Up camera says “check surroundings” but is a completely black screen. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t…… most of time it doesn’t work. Sometimes it stays on when I’m driving forward as well. With the amount of complaints online about the 2018 Jeep Compass camera issues…. There should be a recall as it’s a safety issue!

Oil was changed last year and within 48 hours all leaked out, no issue found with oil filter such as torn gasket, double gasket, twisted gasket, etc. Refilled and installed new filter and randomly there would be oil spots. Next 2 oil changes we ran into the same issue with slow leaks, random leaks, etc. with no reason why. This last time, the technician stated that it has been seen frequently on Jeep Compass vehicles in their shop. In researching we found there is a known issue where the oil cooler sheet metal is too thin and it easily warps which prevents a solid seal on the oil filter causing leaks. When I called our local dealership the service manager agreed and said they have the new replacement part in stock and are frequently changing them due to this issue. I believe this should be a recall as there is a safety risk if it randomly decides to leak out all the oil while driving down the road, or randomly leak any amount of oil.

the screen is delaminating this is a safety concern due to the uconnect system is malfunctioning due to the screen issue. there is ghost touching that changes things randomly in the car that is very distracting to a driver on the road.. ie radio stations changing, climate control changes, radio volume control. its quite shocking to be on the road and have the radio start blaring at you. I am worried that the back up camera will be affected by this issue and that is a huge safety issue. i did go to the dealership and they said i am out of the warranty time period for something like this.i have reported it to jeep copr and uconnect and both have said its not currently something they will fix. the bubble in the screen started in july of 2022 and keeps traveling from the top down.

Vehicle seems to be consuming oil at a rapid pace. The vehicle does not leak oilt. I had to add over two quarts of oil on 8/16. This has happened between the last time I got the oil changed and the next scheduled oil change. The vehicle just suddenly stalled in traffic while driving with not warning. This has happened multiple times since we have owned it. No low oil notification alert. It is going in for service this evening. The dealer says there is not a recall on this VIN yet I am reading about a recall for this same oil consumption issue that we are having.

Jeep Compass auto start/stop system malfunction causes vehicle to stall upon stopping. This is a significant safety issue as the stalls have occurred when stopping on major highways and interstates and other roadways. Once the stall occurs the steps and duration of time required to restart the vehicle are inconsistent. My vehicle has done this several times this week and is only avoidable if I happen to remember to turn the auto start stop function off. There is no warning that the stall is about to occur. The engine in this vehicle also has been replaced due to high oil consumption causing the vehicle to stop at roadway speeds without warning. I also had to have a door hatch replaced that impacted the vehicles start/stop function as well.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass Limited. The contact stated that half of the center display touchscreen was delaminating. The contact stated that the failure had caused the touchscreen to randomly engage and disengage the radio and AC system. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no additional information was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
