Two problems related to radio/tape cd player have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I bought my car in 2018 brand new with less than 10 miles. In the first few months, it required a brand new radio system and rear camera replacement. In some months following that, I have had my car stop on me while driving, approximately 4-5 times with only excuses as to why the car would unsafely do this. First time was an update that needed to be done. Second time was the keyfob battery but accused it of being lack of oil changes (I don't need to go to the dealership for oil changes). Next, was no explanation at all. Last was yesterday when it died twice in one day in the middle of the road. They called to let me know that it probably is because my oil is 3/4 way depleted even though I had an oil change done less than 3k miles ago. Their suggestion is that I return every 500 miles so they can top me off if the oil seems to be an issue. These are thankfully in less busy streets mostly driving straight but once while turning. Once included an error code that I was told was an electrical system error but it didnt register. I have pictures and videos on my phone from the incidents. I have also written to the ceo of Jeep, attorney general and will be contacting an attorney from an article I found on this issue from April of 2019. My photos and videos will not send and upload.
The uconnect 8. 4 radio/head unit will display weather alert popups while driving, resulting in distraction due to both the audio and visual alert and requiring physical interaction with the touch screen device. There is no way to disable the alerts, even after unsubscribing from the "feature. " just as scrolling and settings menus are disabled while in motion for safety, there should be no popups and required interaction while in motion. Attached photo is from last summer, but issue is ongoing anytime any national weather service alert is active within a ~400 mile radius.
