Bought my 2019 Jeep Compass on May 21st, 2019 and it's been in and out of the dealership for the light on gear shift flickering, batteries not charging, radio would change itself, etc. Just in November 2020, I had to take it back to the dealership and get the computer component/frame replaced and that was at 40,000 something miles. Now, after driving this morning to do a couple of arrands in town, it will not do anything. Lights on the dash comes on, break is stiff, warning messages were popping up (like "steering torque service required" "anti-lock brake system service required" "ecs system need service" etc.), mileage on dash is flashing, gas reads full then it drops down to empty and then nothing, engine light stays on during this whole time, can't get gear shift to move out of park, auto start/stop light doesn't come on, brake comes on and off now can't get it turned off, traction is off and won't come on. The dash will read and show that the engine is on but won't turn over.

On 4 seperate occasions, I have been driving at highway or cruising speeds and my vehicle will completely shut down. The dash will illuminate that the Auto Stop/Start is not working, then it will say "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Down Soon" and the car will shut down. It will then take approximately 10-15 minutes for the car to restart. I have taken into my dealership every single time it happens; they've replaced main battery, auxillary battery, replaced battery terminals and have said it "was just a fluke". The light and issue have been reproduced only once by the dealership but no diagnostic codes appear when lights come on. Dealership states MOPAR/Jeep will not authorize repairs for undiagnosable issue as it's still under warranty. The last time this happened, I had my 5 month old son in the car and we shut down on the Tappan Zee bridge. It's happened on a small 2 lane road at 10pm, I now have flares in my car for this reason so I'm not rear ended as I fear for my life.

On May 1st 2021 I was driving my car home which I've only had for about 7 months (under 36K miles) home and my windshield wipers started moving (even though they weren't on) I turn the knob to turn them off and I get a message that 'service shifter'. I go home and park the car. About a hour later I come back out and try the car again and same thing windshield wipers moving while off, turn the knob to turn them off and 'service shifter' message pops up along messages about my lights being out, my A/C quit working and my break light came on! to top it off my gear shift was completely black and you could not put it into any gear. Would not move. Though it was in the park position the car would not turn off because it was saying it wasn't in park. It was a complete nightmare. What if this would've happen in drive or reverse"! I go on a car gurus forum and there are hundreds of people who have had this issue. Where is the recall?!"! people are going to get hurt by this. So I guess Jeep/Chrysler would rather have lawsuits then to fix this ongoing problem. The dealer has had my car for almost a week and still no update. This is ridiculous! Jeep do better!

My 2019 Jeep Compass started having issues in September 2020. It shut off at a red light on highway 76 in oceanside, ca with my family in the car. Shortly after, it started becoming sluggish when pulling out of the driveway and backing into the street. Shifting between park and drive it stalls, the lights on the gear shift have since gone out. I have refused to drive or register my vehicle since Oct. 2020 because I am terrified to drive it with my child in the car. I make my monthly payments on time and have been told to report my issues here. My 2019 Jeep Compass is a paperweight at this time.

I bought my 2019 Jeep Compass limited from a dealership on 11/18/2020. Since that day it has been in the shop 4 times. Three times because the start /stop kept coming on saying to have it serviced and because it stopped on me at a stop sign and would not go, had to turn it off and it craked again telling me start/stop has malfunctioned! today1/26/2021 all lights on dash came on it lost power on the interstate and told me to stop have engine serviced now. Shut down would not crank had to call a tow truck to take to delearship. From what I have read these cars are a piece of crap and Jeep needs to take notice!! Jeep should not be allowed to sale a vehicle with so many known problems!! so sorry I left Honda for this!!!!!!!!

When trying to start the car it will turn over but not start. The car turns on as if it will start but doesn't completely crank. This is not the first time since I've had this car that it has not crank. It has also turned off in the middle of traffic on a very busy highway while at a red light and did not turn back on. This is a problem I see many people are having with this similar vehicle.

I bought my Jeep March 2019 and have never had an issue. Then a few months later the radio starts pressing buttons by itself. I took it to the local Dodge and they said there was nothing wrong with it. The next thing to go wrong is the auto start stops working. I got stuck at several red lights and almost rear ended a few times. I took it back to Dodge and they still said there was nothing wrong with it and it didnt throw any codes at advanced auto. Then lastly, it finally goes out. The vehicle completely shuts off on my in the middle of driving in the middle of the road. It just stops. Breaks seized. Lights flickering off and on. Car is registered as on but wont go anywhere. It has been about 3 weeks now and it still wont start nor even show a light on the dash. Now that I only have an extended warranty left they are nkw saying I have to pay 3I for a new ECU out of pocket. How is this fair. I bought a new vehicle so I wouldnt have these issues. I still owe 29K on something I cant amuse ever again.

I came to a red light; my car cut off like normal; when I took my foot off the break it would not start back up. I had to cut my hazards on. I put my vehicle in park and tried to turn my vehicle on. I tried 3 times and it finally started. My vehicle started making weird noises; on my control panel it said start/stop not ready battery protection mode. I parked my car and let it cool of for 2 hours. I got in my vehicle, started, left my house, when I got to the stop sign. It did the same thing. Im honestly scared to drive my vehicle.

The vehicle wont start occasionally. You can press the ignition, and it says its on, but the engine doesnt turn over. I have noticed it happens more often if you 3ngage the parking brake while your foot is on the brake peddle. To "correct" you have to take your foot off the brake, press the ignition button again until it shuts off, and then reapply your foot on the brake depressing it as far as you can press it and then press the ignition button again. There is a moment of hesitation and then it starts up. Additionally the car has shut off on me at an intersection with the auto start feature on, and wouldnt restart when I took my foot off the brake like it was supposed to. I had to follow the same procedure describe above to "correct" the problem. Because of this, I no longer run the car with the auto start feature because its unreliable. Its always been a bit of a rough start whenever I have left it on, causing me to wonder if its actually going to start.

I complained about engine tapping soon after buying the brand new car in August 2019 nothing was done. 5/9/20 I attempted to drive the car and as I got ready to pull into a busy street the truck cut off and the parking break engaged. It took me 5 mins to get it restarted and attempted to back up and it cut off again. My breaks have been feeling as though they are grinding. My clock has changed time on the truck from regular time to military time. When moving my car into drive my car jerks violently.

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.

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.

- Hawthorne, FL, USA

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.

Leased this car brand new. At 60 miles on odometer, went to start car, car turned started but then stalled/turned off instantly. Had to wait a few minutes to start again. At 250 miles car came to brief stop on slight incline while waiting for a parking gate to open, parking gate opened and vehicle was starting to roll with the car off, I released my foot from the brake but the car wouldn't start it stalled. I pushed the brakes back to stop my car. Car was still in drive, I tried to re-start my car by hitting the push button, car wouldn't turn over. Eventually was able to restart after 60 minutes. This is an extreme safety hazard, I am lucky this didn't happen at a busy intersection.

When I have to brake and come to a stop the car rumbles, then when completly stopped the car shuts off, then when I take my foot off the brake peddle the starter kicks in and starts the car in gear with a rumble and then I can go? it does'nt matter if on the high way or at a stop sign it rumbles, shuts off and restarts in gear. The car is (2) days old with 35 miles.

On 2/28/19 I leased a 2019 Jeep Compass. I have been having minor issues with it when trying to start the car, sometimes it just doesnt start. As I write this on 9/3/19 I am extremely concerned about the lease I have and therefore why I am documenting my experience. Last week, Tuesday, 8/27/19 while in an intersection, my car completely shut off. I reached out to miami lakes auto mall on various occasions, this was a total disaster, I kept being transferred to voicemails and could not get anyone on the phone while in the middle of this intersection. I called Chrysler roadside (another mess) and ended up having to wait 4 hours until a tow truck could come and get my car, still in the middle of an intersection, had to call 911 so a police car could park behind me as obviously this was a safety issue. After finally getting the car towed, police, rain and being stuck in an intersection and all, finally made it to the dealership. Customer service was horrible except for a service manager called jonathan, he was the only person that spoke with me during this time, of course after I arrived to the dealership, enterprise was closed so I had to take an uber home. I had to leave to tampa for work so I had to go get a rental at national that morning and head out, on Thursday the 29th I spoke with jonathan and he told me the issues with the vehicle was a software failure and that the vehicle is working properly now. With hurricane dorian coming and if I had to evacuate, of course, I was not feeling confident that I wasn't going to get stranded with my family with a faulty vehicle so I had to keep the rental for a few more days. I am very nervous of taking this vehicle home as now I dont know if it will leave me stalled, I have read this is an issue with the Compass. I have filed a complaint with Jeep as well.

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.

This is my third complaint on this 2019 Jeep Compass. While driving the vehicle stalls and the emergency brake and other lights come on. The vehicle is unable to be restarted and has to be towed. The dealership has updated software, and now has said that the car is low on oil every three weeks and that's why it stalls in the middle of traffic extremely dangerous and I have a baby on the way!. the oil change indicator doesn't ever show up and the manufacturer just gives the run around.
