On three separate occasions while coming to a stop the brakes started to pulsate, once stopped the car stalled and engaged the parking brake all by itself and would not accelerate or go into park or turn off, for 7 minutes while in the middle of an intersection. Also, screen display jumps between apps on its own and won't allow me to change or touch anything on the screen, glitches and holds two apps at once for extended periods of time.

My car had stalling and shutting off problems while driving in three occasions, one day it happened 2 times, after a stop light, immediately after the vehicle restarted and then again after a stop sign, this time the check engine sign was on as a result. 3rd time it was when restarting after an intersection stop, when crossing after turning left, fortunately the car continued to the other end with the 1st acceleration impulse, and this time it turned on the emergency brake.

Brakes grab dangerously hard. And, transmission gets stuck in first gear, very dangerous when it occurs on a freeway or interstate highway. This is an avis rental car from the philadelphia airport. They rent very low standard cars for economy rentals.

I will be driving and while at a stop light or stop sign my emergency brake will come on without me realizing it.the car is still running at this time and when I step on the gas the car will just roll into the middle of the intersection and stop. I have tried just clicking it off, but the emergency brake will not come off until I turn the car off and then back on. This is my second 2019 Jeep Compass. The first one I had only 4 days because the emergency brake was coming on at almost every stop I made. The 2019 Jeep Compass that I have now has done it a total of 6 times since I have had it, and I have had it for about 2 months. I have taken it to Jeep 3 times, but there are no codes that pop up and of course the problem doesn't occur during the short time that they have the car. This problem occurs when the car is at a complete stop whether I am stopping at a stop sign or light.

Leased a brand new car on 3/23/19. The same day the car made weird noises, informed dealership brought it back 2 days later and I was informed after not having the car for almost 3 weeks that the entire brake system ended up being replaced. Went on 5/6 to pick up car after it was repaired and broke down again, and car broke down in the parking lot of dealership. The car was in drive when emergency brake and engine failed on a Suburban side street. Full description is in document below
