2018 Jeep Compass

MY CAR IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TWICE WHILE DRIVING. VERY QUICKLY A 'LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING' SIGN WILL FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD, AND SOON AFTER THE CAR BECOMES LIMP AND COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. IT WILL NOT MOVE AND DOESN'T ALLOW FURTHER DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND MY OIL IS LOW, EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 2500 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THEY ARE HAVING ME COME BACK AFTER 500 MILES TO MONITOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS, AS IT HAS SHUT OFF WHEN I'M ON MAIN ROADS WITH CARS ALL AROUND ME. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH PREVIOUS JEEPS I'VE OWNED.

2.4L MULTIAIR MOTOR BURNS OIL AT EXCESSIVE RATE. NEW CAR BURNS 1QT OF OIL PER 850 MILES. NO "LOW OIL" INDICATOR LIGHT. WHEN LOW ON OIL, CAR STALLS, JOLTS, OR SHUTS OFF. STALL GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 30 MPH). SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD IF TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR WILL STALL IF DOWN 2 QUARTS. THEREFORE, IF YOU DO NOT REFILL OIL EVERY 1500 MILES, YOU RISK STALLING ON ROADWAYS. CURRENT VEHICLE HAS 26,000 MILES. NORMALLY ADD 5 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. STALLING HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. TWO TIMES STALL OCCURRED IN INTERSECTION, ALMOST RESULTING IN HIGH SPEED COLLISION FROM OPPOSING TRAFFIC.

OIL BURNING UP WAY BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE. CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE STALL OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH. MILEAGE WAS ABOUT 39000 WHILE MAKING THE TURN A QUICK CHIME AND OIL PRESSURE LOW CAME ON AND DISAPPEARED AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED. COME TO FIND OUT THAT WAS WAS OIL ON DIPSTICK. NO WARNINGS

SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES COMES ON RANDOMLY. I CAN LITERALLY BE DRIVING AND COME TO A STOP SIGN AND IT COMES ON. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE OTHERS TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. MY CAR HAS ALSO FOR THE SECOND TIME IN ONE YEAR HAD CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE PLACE WITH A BRAND NEW CAR.

1) THE JEEP COMPASS WAS TRAVELING IN MOTION ON A FARM TO MARKET ROAD AND STALLED. IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. NO STEERING, NO BRAKING. COMPLETE FAILURE. NO WAY TO SIGNAL OR LET OTHERS TRAVELING DOWN THE SAME HIGHWAY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED. 2) THE HOOD HAS POPPED OPEN WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY. 3) ALL THE ALARMS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE GONE OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. 4) THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND ALARM HAS GONE OFF WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. 5) SETTINGS, SUCH AS PARK BRAKE AND RADIO, HAVE CHANGED INDISCRIMINATELY. **BY FAR, THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN IN MOTION. THEN, IT WAS HARD TO RESTART, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!**

MY VEHICLE START/STOP CAUSED ME TO STALL OUT FOR 20MIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, I WAS NOT HIT, AND I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND WAVED PEOPLE BY, I HAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF, AND THEN PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON, THEN DISENGAGE THE PARKING BREAK, RESTART MY VEHICLE, AND PRESS THE STAR/STOP BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, AND SINCE THIS INCIDENT, MY START STOP SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED BUT I CONSTANTLY HAVE AN UMBRELLA CON ON MY CONSOLE THAT IS A CIRCLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK. I THEN WENT TO ORIELLY AUTO PARTS NEAR MY HOME FOR A DIAGNOSIS, AND IT WAS A MANUFACTURE CODE THAT THEY HAD NO CLUE WAS ABOUT. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON A PUBLIC CITY STREET WHEN IT SHUT DOWN AND STALLED OUT, I OBSTRUCTED TRAFFIC FOR TEN MINS UNTIL I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET MY CAR TO TURN BACK ON.

THE CAR STALLS OR DOES NOT START. WHEN WE HIT THE START BUTTON IT CLICKS AND THEN THE DISPLAY SAYS THE CAR IS RUNNING. BY NO MEANS IS THE CAR RUNNING. WE HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET ANYTHING. NO GO. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TWO YEARS AGO. IT HAS NOW DECIDED IT WILL NOT START AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUT OFF ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND CHRYSLER (1239 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS VERY LOW. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF DUE TO VERY LOW OIL AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-71699220. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,200.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUTTON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR JUST CRANKING THE VEHICLE. ALSO TONIGHT MY RADIO AND USB PORT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LIKE I HAD TURNED MY CAR OFF, WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH. THEN IT TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF LIKE I HAD JUST TURNED MY CAR ON, I WAS STILL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
