Car shuts off when coming to a stop when the auto off/on is turned off. Engine light finally started coming on but did not at first. After restarting the car and trying to pull out it dies again sometimes leaving you in the middle of an intersection. I got stranded for about 20 minutes when it shut off. Eventually I was able to get it restarted and get home with it. Not sure if this is related but when turning I can hear a "ding" like a bell. There was also a light that came on which looked like a lightening bolt. I bought the car used and it has always seemed like the idol was set a little to low as it doesn't really move when you take your foot off the brake. Also, when the engine went off the instrument on the dash seemed to think the car was still operational. It wouldn't shut off like if you came home and shut the engine off.

Vehicle has been in the shop four times. All have been control module related. We lose all exterior lights. Vehicle will randomly shut off while in drive. Now we are having an issue with the vehicle not accelerating and is idling rough. All of these happened while the vehicle was in motion. This has been over a span of the past year.

Since I've had my car the main screen with maps, weather, radio, etc. Has shut off randomly, my speakers have turned up to the max they could go all by themselves without letting me turn anything off, the weather constantly pops up after I've cleared it. All of this was fixed with replacing the whole screen. But then after the system would not save my setting for the first 5 times I started it back up. I had to keep saving them. It has had multiple issues, I've had to get different tires replaced at least 3-4 times and air leaks, the last being because the belt broke in them. I have an appointment to get my front usb replaced because it randomly stopped working. I've had to get other parts replaced that control my driving and now it won't start. The lights, radio, gauges, etc. All work but the gauges make a tick sound but the engine won't start. There has been two times that it says my car is running but the engine isn't on. I've had my side lights that come on when I turn randomly not work but I'm not sure if that is something I'm doing. I have to read the manual more.

My 2017 Jeep Compass is very faulty and has been in the dealership maintenance area for the same issue multiple times. I have attached supporting documentation of the three different times in the shop for the same/similar issues. The following concerns are included in this documentation: (1) the vehicle turned off while in motion driving on a city street, the parking break engaged and prevented the vehicle from moving further in the middle of the city street. (2) the vehicle refused to start when parked in a garage. Once pressing the start button multiple times, the vehicle started and multiple service lights came on, including "service esp" and "service 4WD". this has happened multiple times over the life of owning the vehicle (only 23 months and about 18,000 miles). I have included two service records (the first time and most recent time it was taken to the dealership), I do not have the third record with me as the vehicle is in for maintenance currently and the other invoice is in the vehicle, however you can see record of the second visit in the record from 4/9/2019. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of other drivers given my history with my vehicle and hope to get this permanently fixed instead of putting a band aid on it as the dealership has done.

The vehicle was stopped at a stoplight on a city expressway and when the light turned green the stop/start system failed to restart the engine. It engaged the parking brake in the middle of the road and would not allow me to immediately restart the car. After several attempts to restart the car with traffic flying by me I was finally able to restart the car and disengage the parking break. This has happened multiple times and my dealership says they will not fix it because they are waiting to receive a stop start battery from mopar. It has been on backorder for a month and they dont have a date when it will be fixed. This keeps happening at least once a week and they do nothing to correct the problem. The problem is with the start/stop system made to conserve gas. The system should not leave you stranded in the middle of busy roads where someone can slam into the back of you.

The vehicle has been in motion every occurrence and happened on a highway. The Jeep has shut off while I was driving. I had the automatic off turned off and when I stopped at a stop light the Jeep powered down, dash and lights went crazy, and my Jeep would not start back up. It took over 5 minutes to get the Jeep to come back on. There is also a popping noise and a very hard shift at times. When this hard shift occurs it pulls my Jeep to the right, I have had it in the shop several times this year and they cannot figure out the problem. They thought changing my shocks would help but it has not. There is still a popping sound when I hit a certain speed and then it is still shifting extremely hard randomly and jerks the whole Jeep when it happens. It has almost caused me to wreck a couple times especially when I am in a right handed curve and this occurs; it caused me to go off road when I took a right handed curve and it occurred. This has been happening since April 2018, and I have had it in the shop several times. This has been an ongoing thing now I do not have the files with me today at work, but I do have them at home. I can upload the documentation at a later date. Unsure of exact date.

Purchased Dec 2017. Almost immediately began experiencing a problem whenever the speedometer dropped to 31 mph, there was an aggressive downshift that felt as if I was being rear ended. Problem frequent yet intermittent. Often radio would not turn on or off when the engine was on or off. Fear of battery draining was often. Loss of volume control when vehicle was parked.. each month, random errors would flash. By July 3, it had become so frequent withshifting problems and problems with lighting, windows, sunroof, it was taken to collierville cdjr for service. That day all the codes started flashing across dash while vehicle was in motion on highway. There were 4 pages of diagnostic error codes. Tech erik jeter said a tcm flash update was available for transmission shift quality. Must update PCM and tcm also. There were multiple dtcs for all turn signals and lamps. Determined cause to be faulty body control module and internal failure. This was allegedly replaced, despite being originally told of a recall and backorder of parts that could last 6 months. Car out of service for 10 days. Problems began again within a week of vehicles return. It was taken to landers cdjr for service on August 9, 2018. I have not heard back from dealer. Then the backup cameras began freezing and would stay while car in motion. Windows stopped working. On September 1, 2018 my vehicle was found to be sitting behind the service department along side more than a dozen other new Jeep Compass vehicles with stop sale/do not sell written across windows. It has been a total of 35 days out of service. This vehicle needs to be declared a lemon so I can replace it with a working car.

On 1/12/18 my vehicle would not start so I called for a tow to take to the dealership auto center they said it was a wire that was burnt that connects to the steering. Received it a couple days later the next day it would not start after 5 hours of waiting on a tow it started up and I drove it straight to the dealership. When they called the module was going out it got replaced and I was able to get the car back. The next day the car would not start again I kept playing with the ignition back and forth to see would it start nothing. Again requested a tow none came. By the time I was leaving for work I tried again it started I took it back to the dealership. They kept it for a few days and nothing was coming up on the machine. I drove it for a week or so and on 2/6/18 the vehicle would not start up after I had just got out of it from running errands and a few occasions I felt the steering wheel tighten and was hard to turn. Those times I was parked on parked on the streets but on Feb 6 I parked a few inches by the fire hydrant ran into the house to take the groceries and come out to move the vehicle it would not start. On all occasions it was not any lights on the dashboard and everything was work except the ignition would not start.

02/05/2018......bought the vehicle November 2017. Twice already while driving on the highway through rush hour traffic the dash display started flashing erratically and the car lost all power, a total shut down. No radio, no dash, no brakes, no steering. Luckily traffic was moving each time. After approximately a city block the car restarts. Dealer tested the car and could not replicate the problem after driving it 20 miles with a computer connected. I feel this can be life threatening and should be investigated before the inevitable happens. I have 2 small children and my wife with me most of the time. They recommend driving it to see if it happens again. I'm no longer comfortable driving this vehicle.

Issue related to recall T70 continues after update and testing. Dash will properly dim if the car is turned on at night. However, if the car is on and I open my door, temporarily turn on cabin lights, or drive temporarily in bright environment (eg. Tunnel), my dash will become bright and stay bright. This has already been identified as violation of federal safety regulations with recall T70 or 17V-740

- Birmingham, MI, USA

My car is having the exact issue described by investigation/recall 17V740000. However, I am not included in the recall. Potentially the recall is not including all affected cars.
