ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS AT A RED LIGHTING TURNING RIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED TO GO THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT LET ME GO FORWARD. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF AND IT MADE A NOISE LIKE THE CAR WAS TURNING ON BUT WOULD NOT LET ME MOVE FORWARD. I TRIED TURNING IT ON AND OFF A COUPLE TIMES THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I POPPED THE HOOD AND THEN TRIED TURNING THE CAR ON AGAIN, THIS TIME IT DID TURN ON AND WAS LETTING ME MOVE FORWARD AND THEN IT STALLED AGAIN AND WOULD NOT LET ME GO FORWARD. MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR AND JUMP START IT (ITS A MANUAL) WE DROVE STRAIGHT TO DODGE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RELEASED THE CAR BACK TO US.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED AND STALLED. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ON BUT DOES NOT LET ME ACCELERATE OR REVERSE. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TURNING IT ON AND OFF AND IT STILL WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE. WE PUSHED THE CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER I TRIED TURNING IT ON AGAIN AND IT TURNED ON. WE TOOK IT BACK TO DODGE (THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS CAR HAS STALLED LIKE THIS RANDOMLY) AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RELEASED THE CAR BACK TO US.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS OUR NEWLY LEASED 2019 JEEP COMPASS STALLED WHILE AT HIGH SPEED. WE ALL HAD TO PULL OVER WITH OUT POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER WE PULLED OUT ON TO A MAIN ROAD FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.*DT CONSUMER STATED YES, I TOOK IT TO VICTOR DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I LIVE AND GOT THE CAR. THEY SAID IN WAS DOWN A QUART OF OIL. FILLED IT AND SAID TO RETURN AT 7,500 MILES SO THEY COULD CHECK THE LEVEL AGAIN. I WOULD SAY THE VEHICLE WAS AT 45 MPH. THERE WAS AN OIL PRESSURE LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED UP. BUT IT WENT OFF RIGHT AWAY. *JB

ENGINE
MAJOR ISSUE! THIS IS APPARENTLY KNOWN BY JEEP AS THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. YET IT IS HAPPENING TO ADDITIONAL MODELS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE ISSUED RECALL. 2019 JEEP COMPASS 2.4L. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 200 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY 10 DAYS AGO. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND RETURNED IT, WHICH WAS QUITE THE HEADACHE TO GET THE DEALER TO DO. I BASICALLY TRADED IT IN FOR A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SO TO AVOID THE 2.4L ENGINE. I AM OUT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY IN PAYING TAXES, FEES, REGISTRATION, TILE,ETC TWICE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN BOTH THE JEEP COMPASS AND THE JEEP CHEROKEE IN REGARDS TO THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. JEEP HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE CHEROKEE. THEY NEED TO DO THE SAME ON THE COMPASS. STAY AWAY FROM THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE AT ALL COSTS.

LEASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. AT 60 MILES ON ODOMETER, WENT TO START CAR, CAR TURNED STARTED BUT THEN STALLED/TURNED OFF INSTANTLY. HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES TO START AGAIN. AT 250 MILES CAR CAME TO BRIEF STOP ON SLIGHT INCLINE WHILE WAITING FOR A PARKING GATE TO OPEN, PARKING GATE OPENED AND VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO ROLL WITH THE CAR OFF, I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START IT STALLED. I PUSHED THE BRAKES BACK TO STOP MY CAR. CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE, I TRIED TO RE-START MY CAR BY HITTING THE PUSH BUTTON , CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER 60 MINUTES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TO START I STILL DON'T HAVE MY LICENSE PLATES, WHICH TELLS YOU HOW NEW IT IS. THE GEARSHIFT DOESN'T LIGHT UP AND IF IT DOES IT FLICKERS WHEN I SWITCH GEAR FROM P TO R TO D OR WTVR I NEED TO DO THERE IS NO INDICATION ON WHAT GEAR I'M IN. I'M ASSUMING IT'S ELECTRICAL WHICH ISN'T A GOOD SIGN. JEEP BRAND ISN'T DOING GOOD. ALSO WHEN I LIGHTLY TAP MY GAS IT MAKES THE SOUND OF ACCELERATION BUT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY DOING SO. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR THE SYSTEM TO I GUESS CATCH UP WITH THE SPEED I'M TRYING TO GET TO AND THIS IS ON THE CITY STREET . I WILL UPDATE ON 10/3 IF MY CAR COMES BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP BY THEN.

WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE AND COME TO A STOP THE CAR RUMBLES, THEN WHEN COMPLETLY STOPPED THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THEN WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE STARTER KICKS IN AND STARTS THE CAR IN GEAR WITH A RUMBLE AND THEN I CAN GO? IT DOES'NT MATTER IF ON THE HIGH WAY OR AT A STOP SIGN IT RUMBLES, SHUTS OFF AND RESTARTS IN GEAR. THE CAR IS (2) DAYS OLD WITH 35 MILES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON 2/28/19 I LEASED A 2019 JEEP COMPASS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING MINOR ISSUES WITH IT WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESNT START. AS I WRITE THIS ON 9/3/19 I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEASE I HAVE AND THEREFORE WHY I AM DOCUMENTING MY EXPERIENCE. LAST WEEK, TUESDAY, 8/27/19 WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION, MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I REACHED OUT TO MIAMI LAKES AUTO MALL ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THIS WAS A TOTAL DISASTER, I KEPT BEING TRANSFERRED TO VOICEMAILS AND COULD NOT GET ANYONE ON THE PHONE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS INTERSECTION. I CALLED CHRYSLER ROADSIDE (ANOTHER MESS) AND ENDED UP HAVING TO WAIT 4 HOURS UNTIL A TOW TRUCK COULD COME AND GET MY CAR, STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, HAD TO CALL 911 SO A POLICE CAR COULD PARK BEHIND ME AS OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE CAR TOWED, POLICE, RAIN AND BEING STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION AND ALL, FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE EXCEPT FOR A SERVICE MANAGER CALLED JONATHAN, HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAT SPOKE WITH ME DURING THIS TIME, OF COURSE AFTER I ARRIVED TO THE DEALERSHIP, ENTERPRISE WAS CLOSED SO I HAD TO TAKE AN UBER HOME. I HAD TO LEAVE TO TAMPA FOR WORK SO I HAD TO GO GET A RENTAL AT NATIONAL THAT MORNING AND HEAD OUT, ON THURSDAY THE 29TH I SPOKE WITH JONATHAN AND HE TOLD ME THE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE WAS A SOFTWARE FAILURE AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS WORKING PROPERLY NOW. WITH HURRICANE DORIAN COMING AND IF I HAD TO EVACUATE, OF COURSE, I WAS NOT FEELING CONFIDENT THAT I WASN'T GOING TO GET STRANDED WITH MY FAMILY WITH A FAULTY VEHICLE SO I HAD TO KEEP THE RENTAL FOR A FEW MORE DAYS. I AM VERY NERVOUS OF TAKING THIS VEHICLE HOME AS NOW I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL LEAVE ME STALLED, I HAVE READ THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPASS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP AS WELL.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WILL BE DRIVING AND WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL COME ON WITHOUT ME REALIZING IT.THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING AT THIS TIME AND WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THE CAR WILL JUST ROLL INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND STOP. I HAVE TRIED JUST CLICKING IT OFF, BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT COME OFF UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THIS IS MY SECOND 2019 JEEP COMPASS. THE FIRST ONE I HAD ONLY 4 DAYS BECAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS COMING ON AT ALMOST EVERY STOP I MADE. THE 2019 JEEP COMPASS THAT I HAVE NOW HAS DONE IT A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP 3 TIMES, BUT THERE ARE NO CODES THAT POP UP AND OF COURSE THE PROBLEM DOESN'T OCCUR DURING THE SHORT TIME THAT THEY HAVE THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS AT A COMPLETE STOP WHETHER I AM STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT.
