The vehicle has an automatic start stop function that randomly turns off the vehicle when at a stop sign and puts the brake on. This has happen 3 times since leasing this car last year. I took the car into the dealership after the second occurrence to get it checked out but they could not duplicate the problem. The first occurrence was around 6 months after getting the car.

Occurs at stop sign/light when idling. The car will shut off and will not turn back on although all features in the car are running. The screen will display -??engine running-?? but the vehicle will not drive. I will push the stop/start button and nothing happens. It will take a few minutes for the vehicle to come back on again. This has happened numerous times at random. I have taken my vehicle to two separate dealerships and neither have been able to figure out how to repair the issue. I do not feel safe as this is a high risk for accident and I have two children who are in the vehicle.

On [XXX] I left the Safeway Gas station on [XXX] I came out the parking lot and made a right and stopped at the light. As soon as I stopped, my car cut off. I put my car and park and push the ignition. I press the ignition again to cut it on everything came on but the car would not start. I sat there for two hours before getting a tow at the stop light that changed colors several different times with my anxiety high because cars were honking, people were yelling at me because I was blocking traffic. I could not put my car into a different gear to even push it off to the side of the road. My car was towed to Sacramento Dodge Chrysler Jeep. Later that day, The representative called and told me that they don-??t know what is wrong with the car, he-??s never seen this happen before and that my car would qualify as a lemon. I-??ve placed a request for Jeep to buy back my car the first one was denied, the case manager resubmitted the request and I-??ve heard nothing after being told I would be called in 3-4 business days. I-??ve called them several times and I-??m not hearing anything back. Also, I was not aware of the recall on my car until I came in for the issue on this day. Nothing was sent to me to let me know there was an open recall on my car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Every week of every month since purchasing this car, the electrical system more specifically the Forward Crash Warning system which controls steering and brakes has failed. The system is continually turning off and it has been for repairs where they have replaced the sensors and cameras. No resolution has been made and it-??s been now sitting at the dealership since September 1. I-??m making payments on a car that can-??t be driven. Furthermore every loaner Compass I-??ve been given has had the exact same problem no sooner than driving off the lot. The bright light upon system failure is a distraction and the system not working right is a danger to life, limb and property.

I purchased my 2022 Jeep Compass on March 26, 2022 and at the time it was functioning correctly, but about 7 months in to owning my vehicle the infotainment screen and gauge clusters (center clusters) went so dim that I could not see those screen anymore during the daylight. I called my dealership to report the issue, but at the time they did not know anything about it, so I had to deal with it till I did my own research and figured out that there was a recall going on. I called back took it in and they documented it, and communicated that currently no fix is released. A few months pass and my life and other in the vehicle are at risk each time I drive my car as I am unable to read the screen or properly use my infotainment center for directions and such. My safety and safety of others is extremely important and currently at risk each time I drive my car. There were a few messages that came up when I first bought my car that stated something about my screen needing service so I took it back to the dealership the next day (the message came up same day I bought my car) and they said that it was find and that nothing needed to be done. I am reporting this because my Jeep is impacted with this defect and I am needing it fixed as it is extremely dangerous as well as I bought my car new and expect the basic amenities to work properly. I do have an open case directly with Jeep but they are extremely hard to get ahold of.

The car is supposed to turn off and on when making stops because of the eco mode. There are times where the car will turn off at the red lights and will not turn back on automatically. Other times the car will just completely shut off when coming to a stop. The engine is killed. A complete restart to the car has to happen in order to make it work again. This issue is not identified through the Jeep dealership. They asked to record it next time it happens because their computer isn-??t reading any issues to the
