2018 Jeep Compass

INITIALLY SERVICE TRANSMISSION MESSAGE, APPEARS ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS TURN WITHOUT MOVING FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, AFTER THAT IF THERE WAS AN INTENTION OF CHANGING THE GEAR OF THE CAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE) THE COMPLETE CARS MOVE LIKE A MAYOR PART WAS BROKEN. AFTER TURNING ON THE CAR AND TURNING OFF THE CAR 2 TIMES THE MESSAGE DISAPPEAR AND THE CAR CAN START MOVING FREELY. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE AND THE DEALER SERVICE EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS AN INCORRECT PLUG. WEEKS LATER THE EVENT WAS REPEATED BUT NOW RUNNING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN THE MESSAGE APPEARS WHILE RUNNING THE CAR INSTANTLY REDUCE THE SPEED, WHICH IS VERY DANGER AT THIS SPEED, AND WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND AND CAN NOT EXCEED 30 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLES TIMES, AND IT HAS BEEN 'CORRECTED' IN DIFFERENT WAYS BY THE DEALERSHIP, CHANGING BATTERY AND CORRECTING MISPLACED CABLES, NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO STATE THAT I WAS ABLE OF CHANGING THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE SAME ERROR HAPPENS ON THE NEW CAR.

I STARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WOULD TURN ON EXCEPT THE ENGINE (VEHICLE STATIONARY). SOMETIMES THE BACK UP CAMERA IS BLACK AND WON'T TURN ON WHEN REVERSING (VEHICLE MOVING). THE ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON WHEN THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP (PROGRAMMING/ELECTRICAL ISSUE???) & A BUNCH OF OTHER LIGHTS, BUT THEN THE NEXT DAY IT'LL BE GONE; OR IT'LL BE GONE AFTER I TURN THE VEHICLE ON & OFF MULTIPLE TIMES (THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING ON HIGHWAY). ALL 3 OF THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES & I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MYSELF & MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF IT.

THE 2.4 L ENGINE IN THIS CAR HAS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.FCA NEGATED ALL PRIOR TESTS THEY DID AND SAY I MUST START OVER AND TEST EVERY 1500 MILES,NOT EVERY 2000. THEY DONT WANT TO REPLACE THE LOUSY ENGINES. CAR SHUTS OFF ON ROAD WHEN OIL GETS TOO LOW.VERY DANGEROUS! THEY SAY JUST HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHEN ENGINE DIES. CARD HAS BEEN TOWED THERE 3 TIMES SO FAR FOR MALFUNCTIONS IN ENGINE.THEY WANT TO PUT A LOCK ON OIL FILTER AND DEMAND ONLY THEY DO OIL CHANGES OR CONSUMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEW ENGINE. ANY RECOURSE?

OIL CONSUMPTION OF OVER 1 QT-2QT OVER 2000 MILES OR LESS WITH ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES W/O WARNING. AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN WHEN DRIVING AND CHRYSLER SAYS ITS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. EVAL. GUIDELINES CHANGE WITH EACH STUDY.OIL CONSUMPTION TEST VERY SPECIFIC AND IS BILLED TO OWNER INDISCRIMINATELY. NO DISCUSSION OF REPAIR. *TR
