I was driving to get on a highway just as my car unexpectedly stopped driving, I had no control over the car, and my car just stopped. I had trouble starting it up and had to wait a few moments for it to start again, but the car did not feel the same when I started to drive.

On November 27, 2018, I was making a left turn with oncoming traffic and the vehicle stopped running midway thru the turn. I was almost in a crash. I got the vehicle off the road and put the vehicle in park. I started the engine. You could not hear it running but the RPM gauge registerd aroun 5-500 RPM. I put the car in drive and it began to run. I call the dealer immediately and the soonest I could get to the dealer was the 29th. I delivered the car to the dealer early on the 29th. The deal called me around 5:30 pm the same day to explain the car was low on oil and this caused the car to shut off. They asked me to do a oil consumption test. I returned the car on December the 7. I started the car that morning and it sounded like the car had no oil it while it was running. The dealer kept the car for 10-15 min and returned it to me and told me it was fine. There was no indication the oil was low. Since then I spoke to aj at the dealer and he told me the car was three quarts low on oil when I brought it in on December 27th. I was told that this is a safety feature for the vehicle when the oil gets low. I have had all service done at the dealer. I do not trust this vehicle. This is going to get someone killed.

I have about 5500 miles on my new Compass. While in drive the vehicle display flashed 'oil pressure low' for less than a second. Then any indication of that warning light is gone. The engine then shuts down with no warning. No brake lights which makes this extremely unsafe for the potential of a rear end crash. I took the car to the dealership who said that the engine consumed 3 quarts of oil. There was no indication that the car was low on oil until a second before the engine stalled and turned off.

2018 Jeep stalled three times in two days. First and second stalls occurred while vehicle was in the middle of a left turn from a stop sign (5 mph). Third stall happened as traveling on the on-ramp (40 mph) to an interstate highway. Parking brake light comes on and vehicle is dead. Restarted vehicle after two minutes or so to clear intersection. Dealer cannot find any reason for stall and "Chrysler has nothing on it." Definite safety concern.

Dayton andrews Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, Inc. Sold me a dangerously defective vehicle and refuse to abide by lemon law. On April 21 2018 I purchased a new Jeep Compass latitude 4X2 sport utility with 15 miles on odometer. August 2 I returned the vehicle to dealership due to engine stalling, intermittent engine shut offs, warning lights, check engine lights on, electrical failure and multiple loss of panel communication faults. August 6, I was told to pick up vehicle. Upon arrival lead mechanic stated it's a lemon and that I should go lemon law. He couldn't find the source of the issue, it's a manufacturing defect but it seems to be repaired this time and he will continue trying to fix vehicle if ordered by his boss. Before I could leave the dealership parking lot vehicle stalled and electrical failure with multiple loss of communication occurred, so the vehicle never left lot and remained until October 29th until I was told it had been repaired and to pick up. On October 31st, vehicle had electrical failure and multiple loss of communication and complete blackout of control panel screen. On November 7 Chrysler formally refused to buy back the vehicle and instead added insult to injury offering $3000 to keep the defective vehicle, shut up and go away.

The car was in motion and in a middle of the street turn off, when the engine was checked it didn't have no engine oil on it. The car is brand new not even 5000 miles on it. Didn't show any warning before hand making it a safety issue for those like me traveling with children and the car stoping out of nowhere.

Car has shut off 3 times while driving in last week. Simply shuts down in middle of a highway or side street. Updated 12/13/18

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.

Front display panel flashes off and screen goes completely black then service engine light comes on and engine stalls. Then a multitude of service alerts go across the screen and the display screen continues to flash on and off. Have to transition the car out of drive and back into park in order to restart the car. Happens more when car is at a stop light.

- Mount Pleasant, SC, USA

When pulling out of the driveway and going from reverse to drive the car stalled in the middle of the street. This happened a few weeks ago also. I called the dealersip and they said if the oil is low there is a safety feature that shuts down the engine. This car only has 3000 miles on it and is 3 months old. No engine light or warning ever came on. I checked the oil and it was a little low so I added a 1/2 a quart. In reading up on this vehicle it says it burns quite a bit of oil. This is unacceptable that the car burns this much oil and that the car will shut down if the oil is a little bit low. This is more of a safety hazard if the car shuts down while driving?

- Brunswick, OH, USA

At around 5000 miles the oil pressure light flashes on and off when making turns. I took it to the dealership where I leased it from and they told me it was a "known" issue and to complain to Chrysler. They checked my oil and it was nearly 3 quarts low. They then gave me the option to just add oil or since I was close to needing an oil change just to have them do that. Both would be at my expense. They also recommended that I come back once a month and have oil added, also at my expense. I had them do the oil change but later in the day it wasn't sitting right with me. This is a brand new vehicle and also a lease, the problem needs to be fixed and if it can't then it sure as heck shouldn't be my problem. I am now afraid to drive the vehicle as I was told that it could stall at any given time and that I could blow my engine if I don't pay attention. I am going back to the dealership to speak with a manager but I just wanted others to be aware of this issue.

- Warren, MI, USA

At around 5000 miles my Jeep was almost completely out of oil. I brought this to the dealers attention at the first oil change. Brought the Jeep back after 2000 miles and again it was low (about 2 quarts). The service tech admitted it was burning oil but will not remedy the situation because it is within spec for Chrysler ( burning 1 quart every 1000 miles).
