The vehicle stalled when going through an intersection after coming to a stop. The start/stop was enabled and vehicle started up then stalled when in intersection. The vehicle started up after a few tries to drive our of intersection.

After coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, I started to turn left and my emergency break engaged, car stalled, would not start, advisers me to put in park and hit start/stop button. I did so and then the brake pedal had pressure beneath it where I could not brake and began to roll back nearly hitting car behind me. For 5-10 minutes car was stalled in the middle of the roa. Turned car completely off and engine light and red lighting lights came on. After my toole attempts to restart car and disengage emergency brake, car started and could drive myself back home. I'm hesistant to even take the car in, because I've read of multiple reports of this occurring to other drivers while at highway speeds. I don't feel safe with the car locking up and failing to where I can even brake or pull to the side of the road.

My 2018 Jeep Compass will stall when stopping or slowing down increasing my chances of crashing. It will take more than 10 mins to restart and it will struggle to turn back on. We have brought it in twice to dealership shop and they say they fixed it but it still has not been fixed.

Car stalls after stopping and will not restart as if its not getting gas. The oil pressure gauge will not register. The car has also shut off while driving slowly (less than 10mph) and acts the same way.

The car stalls at turns and says "low oil pressure" just bought this car Jul 03 2020.

My 2018 Compass stalled on me twice in city traffic. Checked the oil and the dip stick was dry. The oil light did not go on.

Car stalled 4 times in the last month while at stop lights. I was stopped at light and when I went to move again the car stalled-all panel lights flashed and car would not turn on again. After multiple attempts the car finally started. � this is just another problem with this vehicle. It's also been in the shop multiple times for drivetrain issues. Vehicle is a lemon.

Multiple times the low oil pressure light flashes. In a few instances the car stalls and doesn't want to start back up leaving you stuck. Luckily we've never been hit when this happens. Usually happens going up a hill or around a bend. Oil level in car is good and changed every 3-5000 miles. It doesn't matter if the car is fully warmed up or cold engine. Doesn't matter if gas level is at a 1/4 or 3/4 tank. I checked for recalls and there was a recall for this problem in the previous model year but it says it's not for my vehicle even though it's the exact same problem. This has happened multiple times with the stalling and probably 25 times the low oil pressure light has flickered on.

This car goes through a lot of oil. It stalls when the oil light is on.

This car needs too much oil and stalls all the time!!!! when is Jeep going to fix this!!! I am sending the 500 approx. Number of complaints to my lawyer to hold on to so when I get in an accident we will know Jeep did nothing to help these people!! Jeep, please fix this problem. How many accidents before it is worth it to your company to take care of this in advance of accidents?.

I have my 2018 Jeep Compass for literally 10 months now not even a year. Bought the car in April of 2019 and it is now January 2020. I've taken my car approximately 2 times to the shop for routine maintenance. Any time I put the car in reverse it jerks as if something underneath the car is about to fall out. When placed in drive it goes into some sort of limp mode where it does not want to go this has happened to me about 3 times now. Twice in traffic! where I'm stalled out on the highway waving for people to go around. An absolute nightmare. As of last night I was parked at a grocery store about to pull off when the car jerked and shut off again. When I tried to turn the car back on the dash light started to go hay wire and the engine light popped on with the transmission light dinging red that the transmission needs servicing when I put the car in drive again it went no where. This is a huge burden in my life right now this is my only transportation to get my children and I back and forth from school, work, church etc. And I can't even rely on it this is frustrating this car is only 2 years old and has this many major problems with it. I'm literally afraid to drive this car anywhere anymore. I can't believe that this issue hasn't been recalled yet it's soo many complaints on this vehicle. I literally look up everyday to see if this issue has been recalled or if I've received a notice in the mail of this particular recall and nothing! this is not right at all and something needs to be done ASAP.

1) the Jeep Compass was traveling in motion on a farm to market road and stalled. It completely shut down. No steering, no braking. Complete failure. No way to signal or let others traveling down the same highway that the vehicle was stalled. 2) the hood has popped open while traveling down a major highway. 3) all the alarms in the vehicle have gone off while traveling down the road. 4) the low oil pressure light and alarm has gone off while traveling down the road. 5) settings, such as park brake and radio, have changed indiscriminately. * far, the most serious and dangerous problem is the vehicle stalling when in motion. Then, it was hard to restart, in the middle of the road!!**.

The car stalls or does not start. When we hit the start button it clicks and then the display says the car is running. By no means is the car running. We have checked the battery and disconnected the battery to see if it would reset anything. No go. This has also been happening since we bought the vehicle two years ago. It has now decided it will not start at all.

The vehicle at any known time goes into the parking brake mode and stalls! the dealership does not recognize the problem and twice we were advised to change the oil? the oil changes which should not even be entertained has always been kept up to date. My question should we change the oil before or after the severity of the accident that can occur due to this malfunction. And why is this not a recall there are so many complaints online people experiencing same problem. Are you waiting till someone dies before doing something about it? that would surely sore sales? not understanding how this is going on so long. It has occurred on three incidents now highway and side street , it should not matter it is extremely dangerous!.

This Jeep cannot go 3,000 miles between oil changes. Even when using a fully synthetic oil that has a life span of 5,000 miles, the "low oil pressure" warning comes on. If not serviced, the vehicle stalls (usually while turning the steering wheel, usually in the middle of an intersection!). Upon towing it to a service station, they state that they can't fix it, only the dealership can fix it. The dealership states that it just needs an oil change. So, instead of using the "mileage to next oil change" sticker, I have to have the oil level checked to estimate when it will stall again. I do not feel safe in this car.

I had been driving the car for a few minutes and stopped at a red light behind another vehicle. When the light turned green, I drove and turned right. After about 10 yards, my car stalled just as I was trying to accelerate. Fortunately, no one was behind me, or I would have likely been hit. This had happened twice before, so I knew the process: put the car in park, turn on the emergency break, turn off the emergency break, turn off the car, turn on the car, put the car in drive. This sequence seemed to work, but my car should never stop in the middle of the road while I am driving. It is scary and unsafe.

While driving my car and making a turn on a busy intersection in chicago my car completely shut off. It appears to be on, but I cannot accelerate. I turn the car off, there's a stall before my car completely restarts. No lights have come on at all. When the car finally comes back on, the emergency brake is activated and it takes some time to get it to turn off. I am not due for an oil change for at least another 2k miles.

My car has stalled out several times on the interstate and in busy in town traffic all due to low oil pressure. I have taken my car in several times to have the oil topped off because my dipstick is showing no oil. This happens about every 500 miles. This car is a death trap!.

Vehicle stalls after car has stopped at stop light or stop sign. Vehicle will properly turn off due to auto shut off. Remove foot from brake, vehicle starts and begins to move. Vehicle will then stall quickly after in intersection. Operator needs to put car in park, turn vehicle back on and begin moving. Problem has repeatedly happened during city driving at stops signs.

This happened three times over the past two weeks. I have been driving my car in heavy traffic and car will throw itself in emergency brake mode and engine will turn off. Loss of steering control is gone as well. Have been extremely lucky to not get in an accident. Dropped car off to dealer who blamed it on "low oil. " due to "low oil" levels however car is only 7 months old and just 4k miles. He recommended I change the oil every 750 miles! 750! a standard car is every 5,000 miles. The fact that my oil change could be the determining factor between my engine turning off mid drive and getting in an accident is absurd. While researching there are hundreds of similar cases with the same car. People have gotten in accidents due to the car stalling on highways and intersections. Not safe to drive. Do not recommend. Legitimately scared to drive. Should not be allowed on the road!.

I purchased the Compass brand new and have only 4,600 miles on the vehicle. When I was pulling up to a stop sign at a very busy intersection, the "low oil pressure" light came on and the vehicle stalled and would not move. Dealership said that this is "how the engine is designed to function" and resolved with an oil change. The oil should not be so low that engine cuts off. Also, this "safety feature" is incredibly dangerous as it gives no warning and cuts out while driving. This needs to be corrected!!.

The 2. 4 engine in the 2018 Compass is using oil at a very high rate. In the first 3200 miles our Jeep used 3. 5 quarts of oil. The oil got so low that the car stall in the middle of a busy highway on my wife. The performance of this vehicle is unsafe, you never know when the oil get low and the car stalls. I have followed up with the dealer who referred me to Chrysler customer care. I spoke with a person there who advised that a quart of oil in a 1000 miles was acceptable. I advies her that a new car should not be using any oil. Chrysler knows there is a problem with the 2. 4 engine and their answer is " we will put you on a oil change program"> I am not the only owner that is having a problem with the Jeep Compass, all you have to do is google Jeep Compass 2. 4 engine oil problem. The long and the short of this is, there is a problem with the 2. 4 engine, Chrysler knows it and will not recall it. The car is unsafe because it will stop running at anytime or anyplace when the oil get low. My wife was nearly broadside because the car stopped in the middle of a travel lane. When she got the car running again it stopped several more time before we were made aware of the oil problem. This car should be recalled due to the engine problem. I shouldn't have to keep adding oil to a $30k plus vehicle. Recall it before some one get killed.

2018 Jeep Compass stalled while wife was attempting to cross 6 lanes of traffic. No warning lights or indicators displayed at all. Oil level in the car after 3000 miles did not even register on dipstick, so car burned 3+ qts oil.

The Jeep stalls, shuts off and turns on its own e brake when it runs low on oil. But it runs out of oil every 2000 miles!!!!!!! ive taken it to Jeep and they say, OH thats normal !?!?!?!?! ive almost been hit several times going around a round a bout and having it lock up like that because its low on oil - and im going broke buying oil changes all the time this car is horrible, also the radio completely and randomly turns off, display everything - while driving!.

The vehicle has stalled five times driving on the highway. Every time the vehicle stalled it has been hot out. The car stalls and several error lights flash; parking break, hill-stop, oil-change, etc. . The car then won't turn off, but just stays in on mode but will not move. Jeep will not address the issue. They say that because they can't duplicate it, the car is 'fine'. I have almost been hit at least a dozen times. This is a known and extremely dangerous issue and they will not admit it.

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The instrument panel indicated shift to desire gear or place vehicle in park. A secondary message stated automatic start could not be detected. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to three rivers Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (2633 w liberty Ave, pittsburgh, PA 15216), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,800.
