2018 Jeep Compass

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A CITY STREET IN SEATTLE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND MY JEEP STALLED OUT. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE IT, NO LIGHTS CAME ON WITH ANY WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENED. ON THE SECOND TRY THE JEEP STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2 HOURS HOME SAFELY. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON A SIDE ROAD HAD JUST LEFT HOME HEADING TO WORK. AGAIN, NO WARNINGS IT JUST STALLED OUT.I STARTED IT AND CONTINUED ON. TONIGHT THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHED QUICK AS I WAS GOING UP A HILL. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND FOUND TONS OF POSTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BEING CAUSED BY NO OIL. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS BONE DRY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE 3100 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE HOWEVER, THE BACK UP CAMERA FAILED TO DISPLAY ANY OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK OVER PREVENTION SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

MULTIPLE TIMES THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHES. IN A FEW INSTANCES THE CAR STALLS AND DOESN'T WANT TO START BACK UP LEAVING YOU STUCK. LUCKILY WE'VE NEVER BEEN HIT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. USUALLY HAPPENS GOING UP A HILL OR AROUND A BEND. OIL LEVEL IN CAR IS GOOD AND CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP OR COLD ENGINE. DOESN'T MATTER IF GAS LEVEL IS AT A 1/4 OR 3/4 TANK. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR BUT IT SAYS IT'S NOT FOR MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE STALLING AND PROBABLY 25 TIMES THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT HAS FLICKERED ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 16, 2020, MY VEHICLE ENGINE TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE TAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. ONCE THE TURN WAS COMPLETE AND I PRESSED THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. ALL ELECTRONICS WERE STILL ON, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED 0MPH AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. I ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER AND PRESSED THE IGNITION TO TURN OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. WHEN PRESSING THE IGNITION TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT STRUGGLED TO START BUT WAS SUCCESSFUL. I CONTINUED MY COMMUTE TO WORK. IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC STREETS. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT FUNCTIONING EITHER. I STILL HAVE NO INDICATION OF WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE AND WILL CONSULT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER.

STARTING ABOUT 4-5 MONTHS AGO, WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TAKING OFF FROM A STOP (COULD BE A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN) THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD ACTIVATE ON ITS OWN, MAKING THE CAR STALL. SOMETIMES I CAN MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OTHER TIMES IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS WOULD OCCUR ABOUT ONCE A MONTH RANGING FROM 5MPH TO 15MPH. STARTED AT ABOUT 34K MILES. TAKES ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES TO GET PARKING BRAKE TO GO OFF AND GET THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN. NOW JUST OVER 50K MILES IT HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. FIRST TIME WAS TURNING LEFT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION, PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED MID TURN AND THE CAR STALLED, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE OTHER SIDE AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THEN IT HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY COMING UP TO A MAJOR INTERSECTION AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP. PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED, CAR STALLED, GOT A TRANSMISSION WARNING THEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS STALLED AT THE LIGHT FOR APPROX. 5 MINUTES BEFORE GETTING THE PARKING BRAKE TO TURN OFF AND THE CAR TO START. IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER (CRESTVIEW FL DOGE JEEP RAM) AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING IT IN. DROPPED THE CAR OFF THAT EVENING. WAS ADVISED THE NEXT DAY MY OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND THIS CAUSED EVERYTHING TO HAPPEN, BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATING ON ITS OWN. ADVISED TO BRING BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. OCCURRED AGAIN DRIVING DOWN A SIDE ROAD AT ABOUT 20MPH 3 DAYS AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP. CAR IS SET TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP, CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. I'M SCARED FOR MY FAMILY/MYSELF/OTHERS ARE GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN THIS OCCURS AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVING VEHICLE AND I DRIVE ABOUT 30 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP COMPASS WHEN I DID MY OIL CHANGE ON 1/4/2020 I TOLD THEM MY CAR HAD STOPPED ON ME WHILE I WAS GOING 25MPH ON THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY STOPPED. PER PERSON THAT SERVICE MY CAR IT WAS DUE TO AN OIL CHANGE, I ASKED IF THEY CAN STILL CHECK THE CAR OUT. AFTER A WEEK OF DOING AN OIL CHANGE THE CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY BLAME IT ON THE CAR NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE, KEEP IN MIND THAT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE UNTIL 10,000 I CURRENTLY HAVE 8,238 MILES ON THE CAR. CHAMPION DEALER IN THE CITY OF DOWNEY CA AND CHRYSLER SEEM LIKE THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG ON MY CAR. I WILL PROVIDE SCREENSHOTS OF AN EMAIL I HAVE WITH CHRYSLER. PLEASE ADVICE ME ON THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR ME TO DO. THANK YOU.
