The engine burns an excessive amount of oil and then stalls while running - this is a huge safety issue. The first time this happened no oil light came on and it only flashed a few times on the second instance. Only 43000 miles on the engine an still under warranty but Jeep is refusing to address this issue. Only 3000 miles since last oil change and had to bring to dealership because of stalling and was told it needed oil (3+ quarts). This is a know issue to Jeep and they are putting people's lives at risk. Jeep is claiming that this is normal. They refuse to address because the issue is big and they refuse to pay to fix this. This happened to my daughter several times when driving. The dealer said it is a know issue and Jeep is saying not covered under warranty. They charged us $185 today and said we need to check oil at ever fill up.

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.

The engine quits running and will not restart. This happened on a busy city road.

- Columbus, IN, USA

I started the car and everything would turn on except the engine (vehicle stationary). Sometimes the back up camera is black and won't turn on when reversing (vehicle moving). The engine light randomly turns on when there's nothing wrong with the Jeep (programming/electrical issue"?") & a bunch of other lights, but then the next day it'll be gone; or it'll be gone after I turn the vehicle on & off multiple times (this happens when vehicle is moving on highway). All 3 of these incidents have happened several times & I feel very unsafe driving myself & my family in this vehicle, because of it.

The 2.4 L engine in this car has oil consumption issue.fca negated all prior tests they did and say I must start over and test every 1500 miles, not every 2000. They dont want to replace the lousy engines. Car shuts off on road when oil gets too low.very dangerous! they say just have it towed to dealership when engine dies. Card has been towed there 3 times so far for malfunctions in engine.they want to put a lock on oil filter and demand only they do oil changes or consumer is responsible for new engine. Any recourse?

I was driving my car around for a week with no oil in it, the dummy oil light never came on, my car never told me I needed oil, while this happened it also cause my cars parking brake to engage while I was driving through town. I was not even due for an oil change. The dealership said they couldn't figure out why that had happened.

My wife and her aunt were driving at 70-75, then it felt like when a governor kicks on. If that makes sense. At the same time the check engine light came on. Since I was already going that fast I couldn't really tell, but I thought it felt like I couldn't accelerate. Then after they stop for groceries and began driving again they couldn't get it to go over 30. Drove on the shoulder to the next exit. It felt like it wouldn't shift out of first gear to accelerate. I even tried sport mode to manually do it & it still wouldn't. then they pulled over and let cool briefly it was working again. When my wife finally made it home I plugged in my portable code reader to see what tripped the service engine light and the code was for transmission control module. I bought this vehicle last year with 5000 miles on it, currently it has 25,000. This is absolutely ridiculous!! and then reading the other issues people are having this vehicle sounds like a death trap waiting to happen! my family and friends will never purchase Dodge products again, junk.

My 2018 Jeep Compass started randomly overheating. We were stranded for over 5 hours in the middle of nowhere. I had the engine thermostat replaced, as the mechanic thought that was the problem. It seemed to work and we were in our way. About 2 miles from our destination it started overheating again. There was no steam, no excess sound from the engine, no nothing. I took the vehicle into another mechanic and had a full diagnostic ran, only to come back with nothing. We are currently driving through the desert with the heat on because anytime you turn on the ac the engine starts to overheat, and it is not even 80 outside. I looked it up in the seems to be a fairly common problem for the Jeep Compass. We have a long way to go on our trip still. This is extremely concerning considering the age and mileage of the vehicle.

Car has stalled while driving. No transmission fluid and just bought from dealer less than 600 miles ago. Engine runs hot to the point vehicle stops while driving. Electrical system malfunctions and windows go up and down. Burning through coolant and transmission fluid as well as oil. Car overheats upon any acceleration and shuts off. All occur while in motion. Vehicle electrical system and lights too bright at night and cannot see you back up while parked or in motion. Cannot dim. Vehicle gear shift is rough in and out of gear (in drive to parked). Could not park when stalled.

While driving my Jeep Compass, the engine will randomly shut down/stall. The last incident occurred while crossing railroad tracks. The engine shuts down due to low engine pressure as a safety feature to prevent damage to the engine (information from the dealership). However, the engine shutting down/stalling is actually creating a hazard. This has occurred on three separate occasions and the vehicle is a 2018 (2 times while on multi lane highways and 1 time whole crossing railroad tracks). The dealer solution is that the oil needs to be checked prior to every operation to ensure it is within operating levels which is completely unacceptable. The dealership also stated that burning 1 quart of oil / 4000 miles is within tolerance for the engine in the vehicle. Also unacceptable. I'm just lucky I wasn't transporting children in the vehicle during any of the incidents (part of my job to Transport children using my personal vehicle). Currently Jeep provides no remedy for the issue other than to constantly check the oil. My concern is what will their response be when someone stalls on a railroad track with an oncoming train?

I left my house and drove about a mile down the road. I stopped at a stop sign and as I went to proceed onto an extremely busy road my 2018 Jeep Compass completely shut down. It wouldn't move and told me to shift gears then press the brake and start button. Multiple attempts would not restart the car. Even though I put it into park, the D on the shifter was flashing and a message on the dashboard said that it had to be in park to start...even though it was in park. It took between 5-7 minutes to finally start running, but gave no indication of what the issue was, no warning lights or anything. I was able to drive a mile to my destination without any issue, but was momentarily in fear for my life as the engine shut down with no notice. Upon further investigation, I immediately made an appointment at the dealership to have it checked out.the man who helped we when I got there said he thought he knew what the issue was. He showed me that there was hardly any oil on the dipstick. I realize I was about 800 miles past the 5000 mile oil change, and they told me that Jeep said it was acceptable to burn a quart of oil every 2000 miles. This seems excessive to me and every mechanic that I've talked to. I have read that the engine was designed to shut off when oil is low and Chrysler confirmed that. How does this pass testing? there is no warning light at all and chances are that you will die or be seriously injured if your car just shuts off in traffic. I am genuinely concerned for my life and the lives and safety of others while having these faulty vehicles are on the road. There needs to be a recall asap and engines need to be replaced with ones that don't burn through fuel like this. Hundreds of people have reported the same issue online.

Four different times the car has suddenly shut down while driving in traffic everything shut down and parking brake came on. Hard to restart and get parking brake off to get out of the middle of the road and traffic. First time at 11,900 miles.. no warning. Oil has been low two of the times when taken to service center but no warning lights came on. Happened again at 18,000 & 22,000 miles currently have 23,000 miles.

I purchased the car brand new. Since the beginning it was burning/leaking oil as I was often told, but car shouldn't do that. Yet dealership neither other oil change places never checked my vehicle for additional issues. Recently it got very bad and I went to a different dealership and thought maybe there they will check. They did some special procedure and found there is cracks in the engine that are causing the oil issue and may cause vehicle shut down and crash. They said it is manufacturer issue and it was faulty engine put in. My car is just little over 1.5 year old but because I drive a lot unfortunately warranty doesn't cover it and there is somehow no recall on it. How is it possible there is no recall for such a major issue? ehhh... please feel free to reach out to me or dealership with any additional questions. Or I can send diagnosis documents.

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.
