In April my vehicle started stalling when I would turn the corner. Then it died when my son and I were going down the highway at full speed. It just stopped running I had no power to move anymore. Then it would not sure off so I could start it again, now it is hit or miss if it will start I had to buy a jump box so I could go to the store or work. Today the auto start light came on, I am in fear for my families safety. I have reported it to Chrysler multiple times, taken my vehicle to two different dealerships all refusing to help the second dealer refuses to look at it to determine what the issue could be without me paying them first. I am scare we are going to stall again in the highway and get killed. Please help.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate and the transmission would not properly change gears. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer keene Jeep located at 410 winchester St, keene, nh 03431 who replaced the engine but the failures continued to occur. Also, while driving 35 mph with the cruise control activated, the cruise control system would not deactivate causing the driver to crash into a tree stump. No injuries were reported, no police report was taken. The odor of coolant was also present inside the vehicle causing the driver to become ill. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer contemporary Jeep located at 30 hammond rd, milford, nh 03055 and the manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 20,000.
Vehicle only had 25000 miles and had electric issues, acceleration issues, stop and go would stall in the middle of driving putting me and my child in danger. Only going a high of 50 on the freeway then slowing. This has happened multiple times, plus replacing 2 batteries a year since having the car. I have sent information to corporate. Items have clearly been documented but nothing done to solve the issue that continues.
Car suddenly shut down on me automatically while pulling onto highways at 60mph it engaged parking brake and displayed a message on screen that stated "place shifter into park and restart". I headed for the dealership instantly. After oil consumption test it was determined that the engine would be replaced. Engine was replace mid November 2020. Not even 3000 miles on the new engine it once agian stalled out and engaged parking brake. Oil is not low. "check engine light" is on and car bogs down when accelerated. Can not drive in normal traffic. Almost like transmission is going. I have two children under 2yrs old an its our only car! I expressed my concerns about the saftey of the Jeep and it definitely is not 5here at all! my wife and I do not trust driving this vehicle one more mile.

Car burning excessive amounts of oil when light comes on its too light the oil is completely empty. Causing the car to stall while driving on a city street and emergency lights to come on.
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.
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.
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.
Car stalls after stopping and will not restart as if its not getting gas. The oil pressure gauge will not register. The car has also shut off while driving slowly (less than 10mph) and acts the same way.
I'm currently experiencing problems with a 2018 Jeep Compass it seems to be going through a lot of oil and I keep getting an indicator saying on the screen low oil pressure until I put oil in it goes away about 2,000 miles later comes back on again
This vehicle has a known oil consumption problem yet Chrysler will not recall or repair it. There is no warning light for low oil and the car will just suddenly loose power. Dealership states you have to bring in your car every 1000 miles for an oil consumption test. Problem started within 6 months of leasing vehicle with less than 5000 miles on it. Problem has been ongoing every few months despite getting regular oil changes. It has happened when driving vehicle (sudden loss of power) or when starting up car after being parked. Has been serviced at least 6 times in less than 2 years.

The fuel hand is inaccurate I had a half a tank of gas started it and it randomly said I had 423 miles to E which it has never said not even with a full tank of gas ever since then it's like it drinks the gas it's supposed to be getting more than 120 miles a tank a gas every two days I have to put gas in it or the gas hand is lying. When driving sometimes it feels like something kicks it in the rear it doesn't always do that but it's occasionally and I'm concerned that maybe something is wrong with the transmission there's only 46,000 miles on it I've never had a vehicle that at least once a week it feels like something kicks it or hits it in the rear before it takes off it gets up to 6 or 7 sometimes before it will even change gears when I take it to the garage they say nothing is wrong or they changed the air filter.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while adding fuel to the vehicle, the fuel tank would not allow for more than a half tank of fuel to be added.. the contact stated that shortly after, the low fuel warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to ancira Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram located at 10807 I-10, san antonio, tx 78230, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that an unknown fuel tank component needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 23,813.
This Jeep cannot go 3,000 miles between oil changes. Even when using a fully synthetic oil that has a life span of 5,000 miles, the "low oil pressure" warning comes on. If not serviced, the vehicle stalls (usually while turning the steering wheel, usually in the middle of an intersection!). upon towing it to a service station, they state that they can't fix it, only the dealership can fix it. The dealership states that it just needs an oil change. So, instead of using the "mileage to next oil change" sticker, I have to have the oil level checked to estimate when it will stall again. I do not feel safe in this car.
During cold weather/ and randomly driving down highway, engine will cutout and not restart. Also when parked engine will crank, but not start. Even if you replace battery- does nothing. This is a very high priority for safety concerns. This could cause lots of wrecks.
While driving on highway the engine light came on and the vehicle began to pull back and jerk as if it were trying to slow down. Continued for a few miles to Jeep dealer which happened to be on that highway. The technicians explained that the engine light came on so as a safety precaution the vehicle restricts the speed by pulling back when you try to accelerate. The vehicle is currently at the dealer and they are unable to find any code that indicate a problem and they are unable to replicate the issue
