Turn signal does not cancel. Intermittent problem that occurs infrequently. Safety concern because turn signal may signal for one direction when driving the car to the opposite direction. I am reluctant to pay about $250 to dealer to diagnoise because issue is intermittent. Dealer refuses to note complaint on customer records without diagnosis. I called customer care and reported issue, 4/15/25 case # 92675100. Customer care requested to have dealer diagnose, but I explained that issue is intermittent and difficult to reproduce.

They is an issue and no one is hearing me.

The start/stop has been an ongoing issue for awhile now. It's been to the dealer multiple times for this issue. The vehicle will sometimes just stop while moving or will not start at a light. Each time requires the vehicle being placed in park, turning off the vehicle, restarting the vehicle, and releasing the parking brake and finally shifting into gear. This is dangerous to have this happening in traffic. Jeep seems to not care about these concerns.

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with my 2022 Jeep Compass. I purchased my Jeep Feb 2023. In May 2024 my issues started and have not stopped or been able to be diagnosed by 2 different dealers after 4 times of them having my car. My check engine light started and then the non stop issues with the center screen and dashboard flashing on and off. The screens change showing all errors and warnings.c The radio shuts off whenever it wants. Now the car shuts off when it wants. First time I was at a stop sign, it turned off and would not go back on for almost 2 minutes. The 2nd time I was yielding and it shut down. I had to put the car in park and hit the ignition button a few times before it started. On 1 visit I was told that the mechanic did a computer update but I had to let him take it home that night. When I refused I was told to come get it and they didn't touch it. On the last visit which was 10 days I was told there is nothing wrong with my car. Jeep called me 2 days later and stated "maybe they would give me a small discount for a new one" As a loyal Jeep customer, I expect better service and prompt resolution of the significant safety issues.

When first purchased it with in a month it had to go back in bc shifter service appeared. This has happened multiple times since with a month to several months between episodes but the hard shifting never stops and they say it’s just normal. The 4th oil change as usual I had them do oil and rotate tires and once again they said they adjusted the shifter and fixed a recall. I asked them to also check the tires bc everyone id make a sharp turn or anything I was getting some weird noises and also the steering wheel would jerk out almost out of my hand or shake. They said couldn’t find any issues (idk how they had time as it only took the time an oil change would) well a few weeks ago I had another dealership do my oil change and tire rotation my tires was on so tight it took them forever to get the tires rotated so they and I assumed that was the issues with the jerking and noise. Fast forward to this weekend [XXX) today. Steering wheel while traveling out of town begin to vibrate worse tire pressure was fine but it shift hard if I’d stop and get back in start again it be ok for a while. I got back home and put in park and the steering wheel was vibrating so bad the whole car was shaking. As if the transmission or caliper was stuck got it shut off let it sit for a few hours started it back it was ok but hard shift several times. First time was month into owning it last was yesterday [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

At night the backup camera is extremely dark and very dangerous when backing up at night. I almost backed over my son who was walking behind my car. It's way too difficult to see. The dealership said everything is to spec. I've seen many online complaints about this.
