I was backing out of my drive way when the car completely stopped and stalled. I tried turning the car back on and it sounds like it is on but does not let me accelerate or reverse. I tried multiple times turning it on and off and it still would not let me drive. We pushed the car back into the driveway and about 3 hours later I tried turning it on again and it turned on. We took it back to Dodge (this is the second time this car has stalled like this randomly) and they could not duplicate the issue and released the car back to us.

I was at a red lighting turning right and when I started to go the car stalled and would not let me go forward. I tried turning the car on and off and it made a noise like the car was turning on but would not let me move forward. I tried turning it on and off a couple times then the check engine light came on. I popped the hood and then tried turning the car on again, this time it did turn on and was letting me move forward and then it stalled again and would not let me go forward. My husband had to push the car and jump start it (its a manual) we drove straight to Dodge to have it looked at. They were unable to duplicate the issue and released the car back to us.

This is my third time with an issue on this vehicle stalling. I was turning at an intersection and the car just stalled lighting up every notifying signal including an emergency brake being locked in almost causing an serious accident.

2019 Jeep Compass latitude purchase date: 7/14/19 mileage: 26 first incident: 7/16/19 mileage: Approx 75 on way home from work approx 7:00pm. Auto start/stop feature engaged, stopped at stop light in traffic. Engine shut down as normal, traffic light turned green, took foot off of brake to accelerate, car would not accelerate and had to put it into park and press the start/stop engine button to get the car to restart and then ran as normal second incident: 7/18/19 mileage: Approx 100 on way home from work approx 5:30pm. Auto start/stop feature disabled, driving down the road, car in front turning right, slowed down to allow the other car to turn, Compass would not accelerate again afterwards. Pulled over and stopped completely, emergency brake light came on and alerted that it had somehow been engaged (I did not engage it). Had to put car into park and press start/stop engine button to restart car, then drove as normal. As a result of these two incidents I do not feel safe driving this car.

I bought this vehicle at hawk Chrysler Dodge Jeep 7911 w roosevelt rd, forest park, il 60130 on 04/8/19. I drove off the lot without a proper explanation/presentation of my vehicle, no one went over the features with me. When I arrived at home, a family member pointed out that the lcd screen qhere the mileage is displayed was not working. At first I thought it may turn on with one of the button on the vehicle because I've never owned a vehicle like this. After 10 -15 minutes of playing around with buttons I couldn't figure it out and called the dealership, the salesperson said to bring it back for an update. On the way back to the dealership I got into a car accident because I was on my way back to the dealer and I did not realize how fast I was going since mileage was not displayed. Now, I have damage on the front driver side of the vehicle less than 24hrs later. It is now 04/23/19 and the vehicle is under the dealership possession because the part to the lcd screen is on back order. According to the salesperson, I just needed an update, wrong.

Less than 2500 miles as of today. Since start of lease in January: Check tire pressure system light on, checked 5 times pressure is fine. Car stalls and stops when driving on highway. Does not accelerate. Car fails to start, says press brake and start button but does not start until 3X of turning off and on. Sometimes D flashes; sometimes a@ flashes on screen. Does not always restart at traffic lights when a@ is not pressed. For this reason I always press a@ to reduce stalling. Car will not initially start when a@ is pressed. In the last three weeks: Engine not warm enough notice appears constantly despite warming car 5 plus minutes in 60 degree weather. Rear passenger speakers crackling and static sounds. Strange creaking sound when accelerating, braking or driving around 30-35 mph. Stalling/gear issues/flashing R and D caused car to go forward over parking lot bump and into gravel ditch instead of reversing.
