2018 Jeep Compass

VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING STREET OR HIGHWAY. SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAR DECELERATES WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BACK UP CAMERA INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. I AM SURE THERE IS MORE BUT AT THIS TIME THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT AS MY DAUGHTER, SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDBABIES ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD 250 MILES FROM HOME. MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE TODAY WITH TRANSMISSION LIGHT.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AFTER BEING IN MOTION, I OFTEN GET AN ERROR MESSAGE FOR THE TRANSMISSION FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING. BY THIS, I MEAN THAT WHENEVER I SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR THE VEHICLE STALLS THEN HAS AN ABRUPT SHIFT THAT MOVES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT TURNED OFF FOR A MINIMUM OF 30MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT EXCEEDS SPEEDS OF 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE ALSO CONTINUES TO MAKE A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS BEING FORCED INTO MOTION.

I BELIEVED I HAD LOCKED MY DOORS ON 2 OCCASIONS USING MY ELECTRONIC KEY FOB. THE CAR BEEPED AND LIGHTS FLASHED INDICATING THAT THE DOORS WERE LOCKED. TWICE AFTER THINKING DOORS WERE LOCKED I WAS ROBBED OF APPROXIMATELY 55.00 HIDDEN IN MY GLOVE BOX AND CENTER CONSOLE. AFTER 2ND TIME, UPON INVESTIGATION OF THE LOCKING PROCEDURE I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT ALL DOORS EXCEPT DRIVER'S WOULD LOCK BUT NOT DRIVER'S EVEN THOUGH UPON WALKING AWAY THE INDICATORS SHOWED THAT ALL DOORS HAD LOCKED. EVEN WHEN IN CAR HITTING THE LOCK BUTTON ON INSIDE OF DOOR LOCKED ALL DOORS BUT DRIVER'S. I HAD TO USE KEY ON OUTSIDE TO FINALLY LOCK DOOR AND MANUALLY MOVE BUTTON ON INSIDE OF DOOR TO GET IT TO LOCK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE BELIEVING VEHICLE IS LOCKED WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT ALLOWS FOR ASSAULT OR CAR JACKING OF ME WHILE STOPPED. IT HAS ALREADY COST ME MONEY AND TIME AND IT MAKES THE DOOR UNSAFE IF EVER HIT ON THE SIDE WHERE THAT DOOR IS LOCATED BECAUSE OF LESS STRENGTH IN THE DOOR. CAR UNDER WARRANTY BUT UPON FIXING IT DEALER STATES THAT WINDOW MOTOR FOR THAT DOOR ALSO NEEDS ATTENTION BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I WILL BE LEAVING ON A 500 MI. TRIP TOMORROW WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO LOWER MY WINDOW ANOTHER POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM YET CHRYSLER WILL NOT RECALL OR REPAIR IT. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT FOR LOW OIL AND THE CAR WILL JUST SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER. DEALERSHIP STATES YOU HAVE TO BRING IN YOUR CAR EVERY 1000 MILES FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF LEASING VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING EVERY FEW MONTHS DESPITE GETTING REGULAR OIL CHANGES. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE (SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER) OR WHEN STARTING UP CAR AFTER BEING PARKED. HAS BEEN SERVICED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

I BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP COMPASS IN 2019 IT HAD ABOUT 10 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. 4 MONTHS LATER I'M HEADING TO WORK AND CAR STALLS OUT. I STARTED BACK UP AND MADE IT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF OIL IN IT. THEY SAID IT WAS THERE FAULT THEY NEVER PUT OIL IN WHEN I PURCHASED. 4 MONTHS LATER COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL AGAIN. AND HERE WE ARE TODAY 2 MONTHS AFTER THE LAST SERVICE CALL MY IS GOING THREW ALMOST AN ENTIRE TANK OF OIL EVERY 2 MONTHS. AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR KEEPS MAKING ME DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST...AND MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF OIL 3 TIMES AND I HAVE HAD 2000 MILES MORE TO GO BEFORE I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I ACTUALLY RUN OUT OF OIL IN MY WAY BEFORE I NEED AN OIL CHANGE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE JEEP CORPORATION SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX.
