After sitting for a bit, car started but would not go over 25 mpr back to town. At the signal light, when stopped, the car started to go in reverse. Was able to stop it again, and got it to dealership. They said it needed a computer update. 2) 12/06/2020 1 month later, driving on the highway home from work at night, car did it again, check engine light came on. I was able to get the car to the side of the road. After sitting, it started, but would not run over 25 mpr.

Car keeps stopping at light and not wanting to turn back

- Grand Prairie, TX, USA

Today while driving on the highway, my car started to jerk which then the check engine light popped up with the transmission light saying it needed to be serviced. Once that appeared in the middle of me driving on the highway my car failed to accelerate. It stalled on me in the middle of the highway where everyone is driving 65 mph and it gave me no time to move over to the side of the road. I immediately turned my emergency lights on. Once the car came to a complete stop it jerked and the power on the car went off, so it put it on emergency brakes and said to step on brake and push start. I turned the car completely off and turned it back on, so I began to drive again with caution but the check engine light was still there. I drove for a mile and the transmission light message popped up again, which then cause my vehicle to jerk and stall again in the middle of driving. It put it on emergency brake but this time I was able to move to the side of the road. I let the car cool down so I turned it completely off again. This is not the first this has happened. Its very dangerous and unacceptable. I have taken it to the dealership several times and the mechanics have no idea what it is. I need to get this fixed because its not safe for me or others driving around me. I do not feel safe in this car because random things appear and cause the car to fail while in driving. There was no message or warning about anything.

When the vehicle is parked after being in motion, I often get an error message for the transmission followed by a check engine light. When this happens, the vehicle has a hard time shifting. By this, I mean that whenever I shift into another gear the vehicle stalls then has an abrupt shift that moves the entire vehicle. If the vehicle is not turned off for a minimum of 30minutes, the vehicle will not exceeds speeds of 35 mph. The vehicle also continues to make a noise that sounds like it is being forced into motion.

Was driving on the highway 65 miles an hour car completely shut down emergency brake was engaged. Message popped up on dash stated to shift car in to park and restart. I went from 65 miles an hour to the side of the road in the matter of seconds a semi almost crashing into me. Pulled over restarted the car, started driving to the dealership when it happened to me again on the way. Left car at dealership was told the next day I needed to purchase an oil change. Dealership said there was no oil on the dipstick and no other problems were found. I am 1000 miles away from an oil change. The dealership said that these cars consume oil excessive amounts that means 5 quarts of oil has been consumed in between my oil changes. I do not trust driving this car myself or with my family. I had no indication or warning that oil levels were even low. Want me to get an oil change and do a 500 mile check for 3000 miles I do not trust driving this car for even 5 miles. Jeep nor dealership will not do anything else until he consumption test is complete. I have also read other complaints stating they are getting replacement engines put in and they are the same engines with no problems fixed.

Initially service transmission message, appears on the car when it was turn without moving for more than 10 minutes, after that if there was an intention of changing the gear of the car (drive or reverse) the complete cars move like a mayor part was broken. After turning on the car and turning off the car 2 times the message disappear and the car can start moving freely. The car was taken to service and the dealer service explain that it was an incorrect plug. Weeks later the event was repeated but now running at a speed of 60 miles per hour. When the message appears while running the car instantly reduce the speed, which is very danger at this speed, and when pressing the accelerator the engine does not respond and can not exceed 30 miles per hour. This has happened multiples times, and it has been 'corrected' in different ways by the dealership, changing battery and correcting misplaced cables, now it happens every day. It is important to state that I was able of changing the car at the dealership but the same error happens on the new car.

I own a manual 2018 Jeep Compass with around 14,000 miles. This has happened twice now. I noticed, and not sure if it is a coincidence or not, after the car has idled a bit. Each time the car makes a terrible rattling noise. The car loses power, has no pick up, goes limp. It is a manual, and when I put it in 1st or 2nd gear, it will not go above 2rpms on the dial. I usually shift when it gets to 3. no warning lights of any kind come on. I managed to get it not to stall on the highway, but both times I have not had to stop at a light or anything. Both times I let it sit overnight, and it was fine in the morning. After the first time I took it to the dealership and they found nothing. I have contacted Chrysler and have a case number.
