I've bought on August 2014 from an italian dealer model Jeep Compass crd 2.2 model 4X4. Driving Saturday 21 June on the highway in Milan-italy, the engine suddenly shut down, leaving me hold in the middle of the highway rows, with extreme danger for my me my family and the vehicles arriving. I was simply told by the dealer that the issue was a chip. Even they didn't want to make a test drive on the road. Only when I barely asked forcing them to do it, they agreed. As I heard about us recalls from Chrysler Jeep Compass 2014 models due to the same issue, what can I do here in italy" just hoping that my and lives of my family is now safe and no more depending on a chip which shut down the engine during driving suddenly" please let me know!
I purchased a 2014 Jeep Compass for my daughter from palmer's airport Hyundai in mobile al in February 2014. We have been having several issues with this vehicle. It started out not wanting to crank properly. It was then taken to roundtree dealership in mobile where tech [xxx] stated they could not find anything wrong with it. About 2 weeks later she took it to brooks motors in jackson al. They stated they started the Jeep approximately 50 times and found no problem. We then contacted Chrysler corps. To see if they could help. She has been speaking with [xxx] about the Jeep. About 3weeks ago the air conditioner stopped working properly. We were then supposed to take it back to brooks for repair and would receive a loaner until repairs were made. When she arrived they pretended they knew nothing about her coming and treated her very rudely so she left and contacted [xxx] once again. [xxx] then instructed to her to take it to [xxx] in daphne al. With an appt. And was supposed to receive a loaner if needed. My daughter arrived at 8:00 am and asked for [xxx] who did not know anything about her appt. A tech named [xxx] went ahead with appt. After inspecting the vehicle he told her they had to send info up to Chrysler to see what repairs could be done because this issue has been seen in other vehicles and would call her and let her know. [xxx] called her back the next day stating there was nothing they could do no recall has come down yet as to how to fix crank issue and ac.

On 4/26/2014 I was driving on a 4 lane road at 30 mph when car started acting sluggish and jerky. I pulled to the farthest right hand part of the road and car then completely died. Was able to coast to the shoulder and 3 men assisted me in pushing car out of the of the road. Car would not start and had to be towed/ flatbed to dealer. Car is 8 months old with approx 11, 000 miles. The dealer stated it was the ignition coil. When they tested it they found no spark, dtc for coil ionization P2302. Tested and found no power at coils. Tested and found blown fuse, replaced fuse and tested, blows fuse after 30 seconds. Tested and found 4 coil melted/grounded. Coil would not come out due to meltage. Had to break coil and remove debris from tube. They replaced coil. Dealership stated they have not come across this before. Received vehicle back on 4/29/2014.
I bought my car 2/5/14, brand spanking new (only 35 miles on it). I was stopped at a stop light at night far away from my home waiting for it to turn green. At this point the car has about 365 miles on it. The car jerked a few times but sounded like it was about to take off, like it was shifting by its own. Car did not RPM. It stopped jerking however happened again a few seconds later. When the light turned green, the car would not go anywhere. I had to press on the gas for a long time before the car decided to move or even shift into a gear. Car would move but only in 1st gear, it RPM'd all the way to 4. the temperature gauge showed that the car got hotter than usual. Once I found a safe place to park, I idled into a angle parking spot and by then the car wouldn't move anymore - solid engine light came on. Once I got a hold of the dealer they gave me instructions for towing. As soon as the car was put on the flatbed tow truck, all you could see was transmission fluid all over the ground. It looked like blood, everywhere. That happened on 2/12/14. It is 2/25/14 - car is still at the dealer waiting to be fixed, apparently parts are national backorder and I am angry. I had my car for 8 days; dealer has had it going on 13 days now. At least, though, I am thankful it did not happen on the expressway or what not. I could have died. The transmission is not safe; could potentially cause an accident.
Vehicle was driven at 60 mph on interstate. Vehicle's engine stalled causing sudden drop in speed to 25 miles mph. Vehicle was then pulled to a complete stop, placed in park, then turned off. Once the vehicle was restarted engine light was illuminated. Vehicle was then driven off of interstate where it stalled an additional 4 times within 10 minutes of operation.
