My vehicle is stalling and the oil on the vehicle is been consume rapidly I took my car and told the dealer that this is not normal they asked me to please take it every time the engile oil light will come on which it's very often. Engine oil monitors fail to engage prior to engine stalling- I was getting on the highway when my car started stalling luckly no one was behind me and I reached out to the dealer at Chrysler in elgin il - they had me drop my vehicle and offer me a rental. Claiming that they will contact Chrysler - Jeep to get my engine replace or fixed the issue since they mention. I was told that there a numerous customer with the same issue vehicle at risk of sudden engine stalling without warning, ' the Jeep Compass class action lawsuit alleges. But today I was notify to return the rental back and that I must drive my car and take it to the dealer once I reach 1,000 miles I talk to rachel the assistant manager to provide me with the ref# number and proof that she contacted Jeep and she decline stating she didnt get one. -- I on the other hand went online and file a complain with Jeep corporate office online and received a ref # right away.. ( which is why I don't believe the assistant manager at elgin Chrysler.. she doesn't have paperwork of it or anything) I'm still waiting for a resolution or hear from Jeep corporate office this is my reference # 77965874

PCV valve is failing. Car is burning oil and causing low oil pressure. Car will state low oil pressure with the light coming up on the dash for low oil pressure notification. Car will power down and engage parking brake and die. This happens while car is driving. Car takes multiple times to start back up because does not have enough oil. Had similiar diagnosed issue covered by Chrysler in another car that was purchased. Same symptoms and it was PCV valve failure. This is dangerous. Chrysler Fiat should issue recall

I was on the way home from purchasing a used 2018 Jeep Compass with 24000 miles and the vehicle died twice within a couple of minutes when we pulled off the I interstate to get some food. It was when we were just coasting into our destination. The Compass's parking brake light then came on and a dash message read "vehicle cannot shift while moving" or something to that extent. It then turned over multiple times before starting but drove fine for the remainder of the drive home. Hoping this does not continue through the life of the vehicle.

After coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, I started to turn left and my emergency break engaged, car stalled, would not start, advisers me to put in park and hit start/stop button. I did so and then the brake pedal had pressure beneath it where I could not brake and began to roll back nearly hitting car behind me. For 5-10 minutes car was stalled in the middle of the roa. Turned car completely off and engine light and red lighting lights came on. After my toole attempts to restart car and disengage emergency brake, car started and could drive myself back home. I'm hesistant to even take the car in, because I've read of multiple reports of this occurring to other drivers while at highway speeds. I don't feel safe with the car locking up and failing to where I can even brake or pull to the side of the road.

The engine shuts off while driving. This happened on more than one instance and each time it happened while driving on a city street. The information in this report is for the most recent incident, but this was not the first time this occurred.
My vehicle will not start on the first try have to try about 7 times. The radio has stopped working, and I keep getting random error messages popping up on my screen.
The U connect display panel >gps/ radio etc. Shuts down by itself while I'm driving the vehicle( in motion),the screen goes black for no apparent reason, then restarts itself, also while I'm driving at about 35-40 mph the engine or motor ( not sure) makes a loud sound like its down shifting on its own, almost like engine braking?
My 2018 Jeep Compass will stall when stopping or slowing down increasing my chances of crashing. It will take more than 10 mins to restart and it will struggle to turn back on. We have brought it in twice to dealership shop and they say they fixed it but it still has not been fixed.
While in motion the electric emergency brake will ingage on its on cause the car to suddenly slow down and stop, very dangerous especially of in traffic. Another issue while in motion at random times the ' engine' or transmission'" feels like it slips" and makes it hard for the car to accelerate engine light turns on and says service engine. I have to pull over and stop the car restart so the transmission doesn't heat
2018 Jeep Compass with around 40,000 miles will shut off at highway speeds, normal driving speeds 30-70 mph, leaving the power steering, electrical, and engine disabled until the car is parked, power is off for a few minutes then the car will turn back on. This has happened about a dozen times to this vehicle in the last few weeks.
I took in my vehicle about a month ago to get a fix on a service engine light issue. It seemed to be a problem when I had my ac on and the transmission light and service engine light would turn on. I wouldn't be able to accelerate and it would make a jerking movement when I put my car into drive. I took my vehicle in about a month ago and they said that the problem had been fixed. Well today I get in my car to drive on the highway in the dmv and as I'm leaving the street I live on my car stops with no warning. I let it rest for a few minutes and then turn it on again; it hesitates to turn on making a weird sound then turns on about 10 seconds later. I put it in drive and it starts to drive but then jerks and completely stops. I bought this car in the beginning of the year and if I knew I would have all these issues with it and be fearful that I could've gotten into a crash or worse on the highway- I would not have bought it!
