2018 Jeep Compass

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE, VARYING ISSUES WITH MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS SINCE I BEGAN LEASING THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2018. IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO ALONE, THE CAR HAS HAD THE UCONNECT SYSTEM REPLACED OR FIXED 4 TIMES, THE BRAKES WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED, IT BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF OIL AT 6,000 MILES, AND NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I LEFT MY HOUSE AND DROVE ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AS I WENT TO PROCEED ONTO AN EXTREMELY BUSY ROAD MY 2018 JEEP COMPASS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT WOULDNT MOVE AND TOLD ME TO SHIFT GEARS THEN PRESS THE BRAKE AND START BOTTON. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS WOULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. IT TOOK BETWEEN 5-7 MINUTES TO FINALLY START RUNNING, BUT GAVE NO INDICATION OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A MILE TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANY ISSUE, BUT WAS MOMENTARILY IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH NO NOTICE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND A WEBSITE CONTAINING OF HUNDREDS OF RECENT COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. JEEPS SOLUTION HAS BEEN THAT THE CARS ARE IN NEED OF OIL CHANGES, BUT YET FOR MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS, NO OIL WARNING LIGHT IS EVEN COMING ON. MY HUSBAND CHECKED MY OIL AND THERE BASICALLY IS NONE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHO INFORMED ME THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY UNACCEPTABLE AND FEEL THAT JEEP IS IN OVER THEIR HEADS WITH HOW TO RESOLVE THIS FAULTY SYSTEM THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT AND WONT UNTIL FATALITIES ARE UNFORTUNATELY REPORTED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SAID IT MAY NEED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO REQUIRE ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS TO RUN A 'TEST'. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE ENGINE WAS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF WHEN OIL IS LOW AND CHRYSLER CONFIRMED THAT. HOW DOES THIS PASS TESTING? THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT AT ALL AND CHANCES ARE THAT YOU WILL DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF YOUR CAR JUST SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. I AM GENUINELY CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIVES AND SAFETY OF OTHERS WHILE HAVING THESE FAULTY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP AND ENGINES NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH ONE THAT DONT BURN THROUGH FUEL LIKE THIS COMPASS WAS 'DESIGNED' TO.

CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 12 TIMES THE PAST 2 YEARS. I NOTICED STARTED AFTER 6K. MY OIL IS PERFECTLY FINE AND I KEEP UP WITH ALL THE OIL CHANGES ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A LEASE AND IS FREE WITH WHO I LEASE IT THROUGH, ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE 4 CHILDREN!!!!! ALSO SOUNDS A HARD KNOCKING SOUNDS WHILE ACCELERATING AS IT SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND JERKING OF THE ENTIRE CAR FORWARD WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY SLAM ON MY BRAKES AS IT ALMOST CAUSED HUGE ACCIDENT AND NOT TO MENTION SHAKES ME AND MY CHILDREN UP EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS.
