Issues staring the car, dealership makes me buy a new battery and that-€™s not the problem. Still after spending money on a new battery, it-€™s a problem. 13.4 v and it still has issues starting. Sometimes it starts and will NOT let me leave park. I am exhausted of these issues and constantly missing work because of this car the whole point in buying a 2017 car was for it to be reliable, and instead I-€™m having a problem even starting it!!!!

On July 9th 2022 the car showed a low oil pressure warning then shut down going around a curve but I was able to restart the vehicle. Within a few minutes I was stopped at an intersection and the car stalled again and I was unable to restart it which resulted in my car being rear ended. On July 12 th I contacted my Jeep dealership to discuss this and I was told that a recall was done on the car due to this same problem. Apparently the repair did not fully correct the problem as it happened to me AFTER the completed recall. Fortunately no one was seriously injured this time but-€¦

Engine shuts down while driving. I could be in traffic and car just shuts down, could cause major accident if I'm not by side of road or on highway! I brought it to my mechanic. The oil pressure low light came on only once.... not even due for oil change!

The check engine light came on and it would jerk a little goin up hill well got a coder and it said o2 so I changed all the spark plugs and o2 and it still is on now the thunder bolt light flashes I loose power and the yellow skid mark comes on I have to turn car off let it reprogram like 10 min and it acts ok for a few min now it's so bad it won't even go 10 miles.

My vehicle continually stalls when driving or at stop lights. Sometimes it will start back up other times I have to have it towed.

- Colleyville , TX, USA

Was towed into shop on 4/13/20 jeep would not start, the dealer said it was the battery. Took to shop on 3/9/21 the jeep was stalling out at red light and would not start back up, it took several times to start on a busy highway! Dealer said oil was low and did a consumption test! On 8/17/21 the jeep stalled at a busy light and would not start back up, I had to call 911 to get a officer behind me so I wouldn-€™t get hit, I had to tow the jeep back to the dealer. The dealer said the oil was low again. On 10/4/21 the jeep stalled out again at the light and would not start it took me over 5 minutes to get it stated! The only light that came up was the transmission need service now, the dealer look at the jeep and said it was both batteries gone bad! My concern is it keeps stalling out at lights in drive and will not start back up! Which puts myself at risk of being hit from behind! Another thing is when this happens there is no warning lights coming up to let me know what is wrong!

I could not start my Jeep Friday morning by pushing ignition button. The dashboard and lights all came on but the Jeep wouldn't turn over. Yes, my foot was on the brakes, tank has gas, door was closed. After 3 failed attempts I got out of the car and tried starting Jeep with my key fob, no luck. Looked inside dash and it read auto start disabled. I tried turning off Jeep since the dashboard and lights were still on and no luck, they stayed on. My neighbor drove me to my orthopedic surgeon appt. When we returned, the Jeep was still on and my family showed up trying the following: Change batteries to key fob. Checked cables and car battery. After those things the dashboard read "put car in park" my car of course was in park. I couldn't get it out of park since it never started!!! I bought at a dealership in mobile al when I lived in biloxi. Can't take it back to that dealership until after hip surgery here in Florida's va. Please advise.

- Brunswick, OH, USA

I was getting onto the freeway got up to 60 miles an hour I saw my alternator light blink then my traction control light came on and the motor lost all power and now they're telling me that my throttle body is bad and I see a lot of complaints on the internet about Jeep Compass throttle bodies

- Parma, OH, USA

My low oil pressure light came on. I took it to get the oil changed as it was due for an oil change anyway. They told me my oil level was 3.5 quarts low and that I needed to take the car to the dealership to have it looked at because it shouldn't be using that much oil between regular oil changes. I took it to Jeep where they didn't even look at the vehicle and just told me that this engine is known to burn that much oil between oil changes and Jeep deems it as 'acceptable' because the owners manuel states to check oil levels at every fill up and add oil as needed to maintain a safe oil level. How is it even acceptable for a brand new 2017 vehicle to burn 3.5 quarts of oil between regular oil changes" why does Jeep find it acceptable that I need to carry oil around in my car 'just in case' it gets low? why are they not fixing this issue"!

2nd time this happened within a month. Dealer changed batteries 1st time. Computer system runs through a number of messages stating various settings are not working. Example: Engine light, air bag, oil, with every warning light there is. Vehicle just shut down on a busy road. Very dangerous. 15 min later it started back up like there wasnt a problem. There is excess oil use also. Changed oil, a month later, its a 1/4 low. No drips either. This should not be happening for a vehicle that is only 3 years old.

The engine runs very hot and it burns oil like I have never seen before. The service manager knows about this as well as the advisors all informed me that this engine does run hot. It burns oil so quickly that you have to check it every time you fill up on gas. If you do it monthly..you will wind up low and when this engine is low on oil...it will shut off sometimes without notice and it happened to us in the middle of the hwy on a rainy day. This vehicle shut down on us 2 times in less than a year and with the engine running so hot...the dip stick is literally almost to hot to handle if you stop to check the oil. It has also caused the auxiliary as well as the main battery. I replaced the auxiliary battery in December 2019 then both batteries in September 2019. Also another reason for this vehicle to shut down without notice. All sorts of bizarre notices came on when the batteries went. The electronic emergency parking brake engages when it runs low on oil as well as when the batteries are low and/or die. Not a good thing as you have to remove the center shift counsel to unlock the gear shifter if you need to put it in neutral to push it in a safer place or get it towed. With as hot as this engine runs and burns oil so rapidly...my concern is that it will combust as when oil burns at such a fast rate it will leave a residue and if the dipstick gets this hot...I can only imagine how hot everything else is. As soon as I popped the hood...I felt that heat. Not a safe vehicle. I now know why it is a dual air port as well as the (auto stop) that stops the engine when in idle...both are there in an attempt to hopefully keep this engine cool enough to not combust. Friends with this same engine had similar issues that caused their vehicle to stop while driving. My other concern is that it may stop in the middle of an intersection or get rearended. Not a safe vehicle!!!

Vehicle tried to shut off - sent vehicle to garage and they reset some codes. Second time - vehicle shut off in the middle of an eight lane highway going 55 mph - no accident. Had to have vehicle towed to dealership. Replaced module in engine. Third time - vehicle shut off again on a two lane highway - no accident. According to garage the vehicle was low on oil but no oil light came on. Read quite a few of these Jeep vehicles are having this problem.

Engine shut of while driving as I approached an intersection. Lost power steering and was unable to restart it the first few attempts. Eventually car did restart.

- Little Egg Harbor, NJ, USA

Car has been repeatedly stalling when going into a turn or coming to a stop. Low oil pressure light will flash at times while driving. Stalls and low oil pressure warning flash sometimes occur at the same time, sometimes do not. Car recently stalled while going 35mph on a highway. Requires stopping car, putting into park, and then restarting, which takes 10-15 seconds for starter to get engine to turn over. When at idle in park, throttle does not respond to gas pedal.

- Leesburg, VA, USA

Start/stop system stopped working and then burned out regular battery, preventing car from starting. System continues to operate intermittently, stopping the car when its not fully warmed up and other times not stopping the car when the car is fully warmed up.
