While driving down the road going 55mph, my car suddenly stalled with the "Service Transmission" and "Service Engine" lights and messages appearing. The car would not accelerate. Once safely stopped on the side of the road, the car shifted heavily in park. In order for my car to safely drive, we had to sit with the car off for several minutes. Once cranked again, the service transmission light went off and it would shift into gear without any grinding noise but the Service engine light stayed on. This is the SAME ISSUE REPORTED AND RECALLED with the PCM Voltage Regulator Chip. It has done this FIVE TIMES while driving down the road, and countless others while idling in park. This is a safety hazard. Though the VIN dictates it is not part of the recall, my car clearly is.

My car stalls and then stops at red lights or when stopping for a bit of time. When I accelerate it seems to hesitate and then stop. The brake engages and the engine stops. I cannot go at all. All of my dashboard lights, the radio, and anything else that was on at the time, like the A/C, still runs. I have to turn everything off. Wait about a minute and disengage the brake. I can press the ignition button and the car starts back. If I had to describe it, the car dies as soon as I accelerate after stopping at red lights or at stop signs. At first, I thought it was because I was stepping on the gas too soon after stopping but that is not the case. This is becoming an issue and it is extremely frightening and annoying

My jeeps auto start stop has had issues since the day I got it. Ive taken it back to jeep servicing multiple times and all they do is resent the card computer. The car still moves while in park, the car shuts off while driving on the highway (55mph) it slows down, shuts off and does start for a few mins. The entire right passenger side wheel broke off the car. The car jumps forward which cause a accident back in 2018-2019 a few months right after getting the car. The car jump forward while making a turn going 10mph.

Since purchasing my vehicle the fuel saver feature has caused my car to stall at stop signs or red lights. I have taken it in many times for service for them to put a temporary update on the computer and say im good to go. Yet again this past weekend we go to stop at a red light, the fuel saver kicks on, and all of sudden the car stalls, warning messages start popping up stating engine service, transmission service, auto start/stop disabled, and the car starts rolling backwards as we were on a hill. Luckily we put our hazards on and turned the car off and back on and was then able to accelerate forward but the warning signs continue to show. To say this vehicle is going to kill someone is an understatement yet there are no active recalls for this vehicle. I have read countless articles on consumers having this exact issue for this same car with nothing being done.

On September 3, 2021, my vehicle failed in the middle of the street without warning. The dash lights were on but the vehicle would not move. The engine light was also on. This happened in the turning lane in the middle of the street. There was no warning. When I pressed on the gas to go when the light changed is when I discovered that the car was inoperable. It had to be towed. My safety, as well as those driving on that road was put at risk because of how busy the street is regularly. In addition, at that intersection there are 4 lanes of traffic. In order for a diagnosis the dealership states that it needs to replace a fuse.

My 17 year old son was driving vehicle and it just turned off in middle of highway. The vehicle took several attempts to crank on different occasions. We were told it was a battery so we replaced and it kept happening then found out the oil was extremely low even though we were barely over a 1000 miles since last oil change. They started oil consumption tests and said oh you are super low on 2 of the tests, come the 3rd test they are now saying it-??s within spec and just check the oil a couple times before each oil change. Why would have trust my 17 year old to be able to go off to college in an unreliable car"!?!" We have been dealing with this for over and year and now they want us to restart the oil consumption test.

Roughly 2500 miles after my last oil change I noticed while driving at town speeds that my engine was sluggish to accelerate. After ten minutes of driving I tried to execute a left hand turn and my vehicle's engine cut off completely. I had to guide the car to the side of the road to restart it. There were NO indicator lights on or messages indicating that there was an issue. I pulled over to check the oil and it was low (barely anything on the dipstick and DARK). I immediately drove to my nearest Jeep dealership and on the way there the car shut off again during a turn. Both times were during left-hand turns into traffic and I was lucky to have had enough speed to get out of the way. When I took my vehicle to the dealership, they gave me an oil change and told me to come back for an oil consumption test. Two months later (when I hit the designated miles for the test) they told me they'd found nothing wrong with the vehicle and sent me away. Two months later (and only 1300 miles since the oil change the dealership gave me), I was back at the same dealership with the same issue, low and dark oil. Luckily, I had been proactive and caught it before stalling in traffic anywhere. Again, the dealership offered to change my oil and do a consumption test, but nothing further. It's clear that the 2018 Jeep Compass has engine issues that Jeep is unwilling to acknowledge but these issues are dangerous and costly. I should not need an oil change every 1500 miles or risk putting myself and my passengers in danger.

Car will stall out and shut off in the middle of traffic or I-??ll press the brakes and the car will shut off. Also with auto shut off the car will shut off when waiting for car to turn back on to go from a stop light. When taking a sharp turn oil pressure light will flash and then car will throw emergency break on and shut off for example while going around an on ramp to hwy.

Vehicle shut down on highly traveled city street due to low oil pressure. It was found that the Jeep Compass was consumming oil at a very rapid rate (within 1500 miles of an oil change). We have monitored the oil consumption regurlerly and find that we need to add oil about every 1500 miles. There are NO oil leaks in the engine or around the vehicle, it is being consummed by the engine operation.

Excessive oil use - told it was normal

- Parma, OH, USA

Coolant temperature shoots up (hot) for 5 -30 seconds then engine stalls. Can't restart or stalls in the middle of driving. Has happened stationery, in motion, turning, freeway and city streets. Also can has happened all 4 seasons: Fall, , spring, summer and winter. Has been happening for 2 years and no dealership can find out what's wrong.

- Draper, UT, USA

Oil burns through oil excessively, 2,900 miles after oil change, every oil change the vehicle starts alarming oil pressure low and will just shut off in the middle of driving. I've almost got into multiple accidents due to this. It's dangerous, no warning except the alarm which comes on as the vehicle shuts off

- Lakewood, OH, USA

My car flashed a warning to "stop safely vehicle will shut off soon" and car shut off automatically while I was driving on a city street! there is a powertrain control module recall for this make and model but mine wasn't included, I guess. A car going down the street and suddenly coming to a complete, uninitiated stop is extremely scary and dangerous. I would think if this is happening, then the PCM should be replaced, but the dealership isn't on board with this. They say there is nothing they can do since they can't re-create the error. My simple google search has shown this to be a very common problem with the 2018 Jeep Compass.

The vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and the start/stop feature was engaged. When my foot was taken off the brake, the vehicle would not restart like it was supposed to. I put it in park and tried to restart it and it would not restart. The battery was not dead as the lights were working as well as many warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. This is the third time in three years that this vehicle will go to the dealership for a similar issue. The diagnoses seems to be different each time, but ultimately I take it in for the same issue and it still has not been fixed. This is a safety issue that left me stranded in the middle of four lane highway. The last time it happened the vehicle went into limp mode on the interstate. Eventually this is going to cause a major accident and could possibly kill me or my family. It's happened twice in start/stop mode at a stop light and once in motion on the interstate at 70mph.
