After using the remote start and getting in the vehicle I was able to place the vehicle in drive without pressing on the brake or pressing the start/stop button to allow the wheel to move freely, in turn allowing the vehicle to roll forward on a hill without being fully turned on thus not allowing for the power steering to work and the steering wheel locked in position. When in drive the vehicle would not start, after placing it back into park the vehicle would still not start but continued to be able to roll forward when my foot was not on the brake. The vehicles start/stop was completely disabled for for up to 3 minutes then the car very suddenly shook, powered down, and I was able to place it in park and restart the car via the start/stop button and normal operation was resumed.

Transmission shift locked in reverse, when this happens engine will not shut off, shift will not move or disengage, have to hold brake peddle down or have accident. No shut down, had to have someone pull fuse under the hood to shut car off. Was in motion in reverse in a parking lot, almost hit car behind me. Several problems with this online 2018 Jeep Compass shifter locking

- Pinehurst, ID, USA

Automatic transmission, at times, makes a clunking noise shifting from 4th to 5th gear. Noted times are when cresting a hill (stays in 4th gear at higher RPM's until car levels out over the hill) and also when cruising at low speed (30-35mph) when RPM's are low. All other gear shifts are smooth. I have had it in to the dealership twice and it has been checked for upgrades via computer. One upgrade was made but did not change the transmission problem. I was also told that another 2018 Jeep Compass was taken for a test drive and it did the same thing, giving the impression that 'that is how it is.' This is nonsense and should not happen with standard driving practices.

At about 25 mph the breaks didn't work when applied and caused an accident, some times the car speeds up even when gas pedal is not applied, sometimes when I shift to drive or reverse the D or R indicator flashing then I have to park and try again.

Vehicle transmission would jerk or bump hard enough for seat belt tension system to jerk you into the seat. Would mostly happen at a constant 30 mph or lower such as a school zone. Although would also happen at higher speeds on acceleration such as on ramp or passing another vehicle. After a few weeks of this and after a touch screen safety update to keep the display from flashing full brightness at night, the vehicle was slowing down to turn into private entry of work (gate that requires rfid badge) and shut off completely in middle of the road without warning. Vehicles had to swerve out of the way to miss from hitting us at only 3500 miles on the vehicle. Lucky we were only doing around 20 miles an hour and had our blinker on. The tech that took 22 days to work on the motor of the vehicle and told us the motor turned it self off after the vehicle oil pressure dropped to 5 psi due to a plastic part in engine clogging. I asked why the low oil pressure light did not come on and he said it is not designed to come on until 3 psi and it will never show cause the engine is suppose to turn off first. This is a big safety issue you have a vehicle that can turn off without warning on low oil level or low oil psi. On nearly any other vehicle on the market if you have an 18 wheeler coming up behind you at high speed and going to hit you and you hear a ding and see you have low oil you can speed up and get to a safe distance to pull over or pull over right then and turn off the motor to keep from messing it up. Jeep has decided that their motor is worth more then the life of the people driving them. You should have a choice for when the vehicle turns itself off in order to be able to drive it safely and to be able to make informed choices. You have low battery alert low fuel alert to let you know when it make turn off and why but they designed it to turn off without alerts

Vehicle leased new began to have grumbling, load humming noise coming from transmission at 37mph. Took test drive in another vehicle same noise. Jeep said known issue waiting for update. Took vehicle back to dealer updated transmission and drive line module. Noise still there, if vechile placed in 4X4 or ESC turned off noise will disappear. Noise sounds like it can be driveline or transmission not in right gear. Car is not shifting correctly and RPM goes high. Vehicle has stalled out a few times for no reason car was stationary with foot on brake and the auto start off disabled. Heated steering wheel and seats get extremely hot. Shut down on there own at times for no reason. Poor gas mileage is related to engine, transmission and driveline problems

Malfunction indicator light is on, right side of RPM gauge is lite up with three bars. Vehicle has large clunk when turning corners and accelerating, attempts to stale at low speeds. Note I turn off the stop/start switch as I do not like it to turn off at stop signs. The vehicle acts like it is still on. The dealer said it could not look at my car for two weeks. The vehicle has 2,496 miles on it. They told me the first time I complained that I don't know how to properly drive and I have been driving for 40 years. Vehicle is dangerous for stalling out even at speeds of 10-20 mph. When I shift from park to drive in my garage, it feels like the rear end is going to bust through the floor boards.

When ever I am moving over 65mph in manual transmission, the vehicle automatically shifting gear from 9 th to 5th gear. Because of that the vehicle making fearful sound and sudden rise in engine RPM and making me uncomfortable driving on freeways, because of sudden downgrading gear from 9 to 5 that is kind of unexpected and uncontrollable. I purchased the car very recently and it is not more than 2 months and lessthan 3000 miles so far.

I was stopping at a stop sign. I went to give the car gas and it spit and sputtered. Cars in the northbound lane had to take the gravel or they would have hit me. I touched the gas and then the gas pedal stuck. It was 55mph hwy and I was already at 65mph. I was going to run into the traffic or take the ditch. I tried shifting into neutral and it would not. I hit the gravel and put on the brakes. I finally brought car to a stop. Put car in park and tried to shut car off. It would not.went to take foot off brake and the RPM's needle was buried. The engine was racing. I pushed both the brake and gas pedal several times and the car finally shut down. There were lights on the dash on an a! and the check engine light. My son in law came to pick me up cause car had to be towed. We looked at gas pedal and brake. Nothing seemed wrong. I had it towed to the dealer 78 miles away. Absolutely horrible experience.

I was driving on a county road and the message "service hill assist" came on the screen. I kept driving and the messages "service ESC" and "service engine soon" came on the screen. The power steering went out, the screen for the radio kept flashing on and off, and I could not turn the engine off with the push button ignition. This happened two more times as I was trying to turn the car off and on, and I eventually got the vehicle home. This is a safety issue that needs to be dealt with immediately by Jeep.

- Argillite, KY, USA

All 24 warning lights came on and the vehicle came to a complete stop on 3-4 occasions. Towed to dealer on 3 separate trips. Dealer has not offered another car yet. I was driving and the warning lights came on and the car stopped and I could not get it started back, so I had it towed.

While driving between 30-50mph in inclement weather the 4 wheel drive system attempts to engage the rear axle for additional traction. When this occurs there is a intermittent banging noise that emits from the bottom of the vehicle and a bad vibration throughout the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed this as a "over modulation" of the rear axle which causes a binding of the driveshaft. The sound was explained as the driveshaft is flexing in the carrier bearing and striking the exhaust when this binding occurs which has caused marks to appear on the exhaust and drive shaft.. according to the dealer this was a 4 wheel drive module issue and there was no known time when a repair would be available however the vehicle was safe to drive. 3 days after the diagnoses which was the second trip to the dealer for the issue the rear wheels locked up while driving causing the vehicle to skid out of control. This occurred while going around a turn at approximately 40mph on a wet 2 lane highway with neither the brake or accelerator applied at the time. I fear that the issue causes a safety hazard to anyone driving the vehicle with the potential for the rear wheels to lock up at any time. The dealer has reported to me that a second vehicle of the same make and model has had the same issue days after mine occurred.

It makes a humming noise and it sounds like when you are slowing down it's almost like it's shifting down. Been doing since I picked it up from the dealer on 01/19/2018. I have had it at the dealership they say the noise is normal. I disagree. I have had a symbol twice come up that looks like this (a)!. my main concern is that humming noise and where is it coming from should I be concerned with the transmission? it happens around 25 and higher speed.
