This car burns oil which I was not told about by the dealer when purchasing. That in and of itself is a problem (I have since been told to check it every 1000 miles even though the manual says it can go 7500 w/O changing), but the real problem is when it gets low the car just turns off. No warning. Luckily I was in a residential area when it happened, although it was an intersection. I was with my 3 year old and required help from a passerby to help push it to the curb. I could have been driving on a freeway with no shoulder as often happens on highway 1 where I live. This feature is dangerous! somebody is going to get hurt because of it. It is currently in the shop for some other problem where it wont start, which is also dangerous in it's own way.

My service transmission and check engine light comes on and off every few weeks I took it to my local Jeep dealer they told me multiple times there was nothing wrong with my 2018 Compass when I know indeed it is I smell coolant all the time they say they don't my engine and trans light comes in and off they have no code I caught it on video they both lights were on and I was asked if I'd like to bring it back in I said yes the day I go in of course the lights are off but now they have a code he says to me oh your transmission just needs to be updates but the codes that I got back stated that it was the torque converter

Why has this not been recalled. Had my Jeep at the dealer yesterday, for another oil change, about 2000 miles before I was due. The last oil change was around 9500 miles. They said, there was no oil in my car when he checked. It has just under 13,000 miles on it and for the second time in 5 days, the engine just shut off while driving. So I have now almost gotten rear-ended twice. I have to drift to the side, put the car in park, shut it off entirely, then restart, yesterday it took 3 tries to get it to restart. I was told, I need to drive another 2000 miles and come back so they can check my dip stick, which they marked yesterday. Ironically while I was checking out, there was a woman there, picking up her Compass from them after a week, because they were replacing her engine. Earlier this month I was talking to a family friend. Her Compass had just come back from the same dealer, after having the engine replaced for the same thing. So why, am I still having to drive a car, when this is a known issue" from reading other complaints, sounds like some have not had as easy of a pull off as have and are stuck in harms way when it happens to them. Is it going to take someone dying for this issue to become a recall?"

- Lawrence, PA, USA

Oil burning up way before oil change is due. Caused my car to stall in the middle of the road with my three month old infant in the back seat. The stall occurred while making a right turn at an intersection speed of approximately 10-15 mph. Mileage was about 12925. While making the turn a quick chime and oil pressure low came on and disappeared and the car immediately stalled. Come to find out the oil on dipstick was 1mm. No warnings about it. Not due for oil change for another 1600 miles.

- Saddle Brook, NJ, USA

Consumer stated it was around 8,000 miles, it stalled driving on a thruway in New York traffic, parking break engaged and it came to full stop, had to depress brake and restart car. My Jeep has been at the dealer for a week while they figure out what is wrong with it. They said the oil is not pumping out. At my last oil change they said the Jeep is burning oil like crazy with no warning about low oil. It has 13,000 miles on it and also intermittently shuts off while driving, I have to pull over and the parking break engages. Then restart it, it also intermittently won't start at all. Then after a few hours it will start but runs really rough. Another issue is with what sounds like the suspension in the front right of the vehicle. It feels very unsafe to drive as I have two young children. The vehicle stopped in the middle of a freeway in traffic in New York and it was the scariest few moments of my life. Honestly I agree that this car is starting to feel like a death trap yet there are no recalls when I enter my VIN.

- Salem, MA, USA

Jeep Compass is a safety hazard death trap; I cannot believe there is not a recall on it! it literally burns oil down to nothing & with no warning whatsoever the parking brake engages, the dashboard lights up and it just stops, while driving, on the road, in traffic! this has happened to me twice! I have changed the oil regularly (actually early) and after 3,000 miles it is empty"? are you serious" first time it happened the dealer conducted an "oil consumption" test, what a joke. Obviously it is over-consuming oil because it just seized up on me while driving & making a turn in front of other cars and the dipstick was clear, not one drop of oil left! made special trips to the dealer so they could top off the oil after 1,500 miles (their solution to this known problem) and it happened a second time after less than 3,000 miles, and once again while making a turn I was almost rear ended because the Jeep stopped in the middle of the road!!! the Jeep is currently at the dealer while they "figure out what is wrong" and how to handle it. I will tell you how to handle it, recall them before someone dies!!! if I could ditch Jeep/Chrysler right now I would, and as soon as my lease is up, I will be going back to GM cars!

First off. I have a 2018 Jeep Compass that's I got a few weeks ago and I'm noticing now that my brakes are already terribly grinding, the engine gets way too hot even though the indicator is always neutral and never moves ever. Also the mpg is absolute crap and I think it has to do with the engine system itself causing problems. I lost 45 miles according to the indicator and really only went 12 miles back from work. That shouldn't be right.

- Oyster Bay, NY, USA

2018 Jeep Compass stalled while wife was attempting to cross 6 lanes of traffic. No warning lights or indicators displayed at all. Oil level in the car after 3000 miles did not even register on dipstick, so car burned 3+ qts oil.

- Cedar Falls, IA, USA

While driving down the freeway at about 65 miles per hour, without warning this Jeep stalls, putting my wife in a potentially fatal or injurious accident situation. Dealership said they know and accept as normal this brand new car burning a quart of oil every 2000 miles and that if the car gets low on oil it will quit running, but they never tell the owner of the car, they only say come back in 5000 miles for next oil change, meanwhile the car starts stalling at 3-4000 miles

- San Diego, CA, USA

Purchased brand new with 11 miles and the vehicle is burning one gallon of oil between oil changes. Chrysler says in normal specs. Engine at risk of locking up if not adding oil and can't trust oil light. Was informed to not trust the oil light by the dealership. But told to trust it by Chrysler cares.

- Norman, OK, USA

Vehicle stalls after car has stopped at stop light or stop sign. Vehicle will properly turn off due to auto shut off. Remove foot from brake, vehicle starts and begins to move. Vehicle will then stall quickly after in intersection. Operator needs to put car in park, turn vehicle back on and begin moving. Problem has repeatedly happened during city driving at stops signs.

- Ballston Lake, NY, USA

I was about to pull out of the parking lot while in drive when the engine service light came up telling me to pull my car over and come to a stop because the vehicle will shut off. Took it to the dealer they said nothing was wrong and erased all my error messages after it was scanned. As a standard procedure of Jeep they told me to pick up the vehicle and drive it for 1,000 miles and if the check engine light appeared to bring it in and then they will fix it. I find this is unsafe telling me to go drive my vehicle and there is a possibility it may turn off while I am on the highway.

We bought the Jeep new with 8600 miles on it. 4000 miles after our first oil change at the dealer, the engine oil light came on while turning a corner. I checked the oil level to which I needed to add three quarts to bring it back to normal. We have 20,000 miles on our car. This seems to be a lot of oil. There are no oil spots or drips under our car and no smoke is coming out from the muffler. Engine bay is clean. I searched online and found many other new Jeep owners with the same complaint. Is anything being done about this?

- Longbranch, WA, USA

I was driving to work one morning and made it about 1 mile from home before my car turned off and the emergency brake engaged. I had owned my vehicle for about 4 months at this point, and the engine oil pressure light engaged. I had around 3,000 miles at this point. I started my vehicle and made it another 1/2 mile before the car turned off and brake engaged again. Started the car and made it the 10 miles that I have to drive to work. The same thing happened for the next 3 days. Luckily I was not on a highway; this could have been very dangerous! after the 3rd day of this happening, I went online to research. Apparently the newer Jeep engine drinks oil. At that point, my husband had to add 3 quarts of oil! after only 3,000 miles! I called Chrysler the next day and they told me to do an oil consumption test. When I talked to the service area at the Jeep dealership they told me that 95% of the vehicles on their lot have this particular engine that drinks oil. I asked if there was going to be a recall and they said they hadn't heard that. I asked the woman who is managing my claim at Chrysler if they can put the old motor in my vehicle, but she said I need to go through the consumption test before determining any solutions. From what I"ve been reading, Jeep seems to be doing nothing about this. Other Jeep Compass drivers describe their near accidents because their vehicle stopped on a highway. I feel that this issue causes a huge safety risk. No one at the dealership where I bought my vehicle mentioned this issue; I would not have purchased the vehicle if I knew that it literally shuts down. I mentioned it to my salesman and he said he was unaware. I found it hard to believe that Jeep is not recognizing this issue.

Every time I am driving my car my car will do what I call a "spaz out" moment. The dash warning lights all come on and a loud ding begins. My car dash lights up like a christmas tree and each notice pops up: Transmission needs service, 4 wheel drive needs serviced. Traction system needs service, emergency break needs service. Then they all go off the check engine light remains on. I am very worry for my safety and other if this vehicle locks the wheels while driving on the high way. Most my driving is on the high way at the speed of 70mphs.

- Clayton, NC, USA

I stopped at the stop light and the engine shut off with the normal function of auto start/stop but when I took foot of the brake the car stalled out in the middle of the road. After which there was loss of power steering and the parking brake would stay engaged. The loss of power steering made it really difficult to steer the vehicle off the road to safety.
