First NO WARNINGS Signs of Any Kind were shown at time of 1st & 3rd issues, 1st under hard acceleration or deceleration and sometimes while in turns under acceleration & deceleration you get a Large Bang from underneath the vehicle and it-??s not only the sound but feels like the vehicle gets hit but it-??s not. 2nd thing I observed dashboard lights suddenly starting to blink and these included warnings for seatbelts, forward collision warning but nothing was there, airbags, 4wheel drive lights and issues, and the engine trouble lights on dashboard along with it turning off and not restarting. 3rd thing that has happened 3 times 2 times on regular roads and once entering the highway while at the top of the Rte-15 South Ramp in CT after driving the vehicle at about 60mph-65mph the vehicle shuts down like when stopped at a light but your now entering a highway. When I told my dealership they couldn-??t find the issue so I asked while I was here in Florida and I was told Chrysler Corporation knows of this 2nd & 3rd Issue but isn-??t doing a Recall on this issue and I was told it-??s happening to quite a few models not just the Jeep Renegade but others. Now I don-??t drive it long distances only locally as I don-??t want to get killed by this vehicle. All 3 issues scare me greatly, First the loud bang, Second All the WARNING LIGHTS and then the vehicle shutting down for no reasons and Not Restarting also Not allowing you to Bypass the Auto Start/Stop function like it-??s Designed. Last thing I had a Warning Light on took it to Bay Jeep in Panama City, FL showed the lady in the Service Lane and she Plugged it in and NO TROUBLE CODES WERE STORED so she said to come here file with you but to Also call Chrysler to ask for a VEHICLE BUY BACK because of the SERIOUS NATURE and also that it-??s under 10k miles. 4/28/2023 at 2:05PM CDT

When traveling down the road immediately after starting the Jeep the engine coolant hot indicator light comes on and the car engine shuts down and the steering wheel locks. The engine coolant is not hot since the car was just started. To fix issue at that moment I had to bring car to a complete stop in the middle of the road ( very dangerous ) and wait a few seconds and then try to restart the car. This problem has happened several times over the past two years. The dealership has examined the car and can not find any answers on how to fix the problem. I found there are thousands of other owner complaints on line about this issue with the Jeep Compass model. I want to add my complaint to the pile of complaints already registered with Chrysler Jeep. This issue could get someone killed on a highway?

Jeep Renegade Issues: First NO WARNINGS Signs of Any Kind were shown at time of both issues, 1st under hard acceleration or deceleration and sometimes while in turns under acceleration & deceleration you get a Large Bang from underneath the vehicle and it-??s not only the sound but feels like the vehicle gets hit but it-??s not. 2nd thing that has happened 3 times 2 times on regular roads and once entering the highway while at the top of the Rte-15 South Ramp after driving the vehicle at about 60mph-65mph the vehicle shuts down like when stopped at a light but your now entering a highway.

First, this vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil every 750 miles. Being unaware, when driving, engine shudder and tried to fail, making me unable to accelerate through an intersection. When trying to accelerate, the vehicles RPMs extend above 4 if I don-??t accelerate at an extremely slow pace. I can not get up to speed quickly when going on to a freeway. The vehicle collision warning continues to malfunction. Had it fixed again recently. Gas is burning faster than it should be because of the high RPMs and engine working so hard. I have 2 children, and got this vehicle brand new so I-??d have reliable transportation. After the first month, I no longer felt safe driving it. Dealership keeps telling me everything is normal. These are not normal issues for a car. It-??s a lemon.
