Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2018 Jeep Compass - part 1

Outragious oil consumption, car shuts down or slows down significantly while driving, check engine light came on and now reads code p1dd2, ive only had this vehicle for 1. 5 yrs. And ive had to change oil about 8 times and carry extra oil with me in case it acts up or needs it. Now car wont go over 30 mph and spits and sputters. I just got an oil change done! literally 2 days ago. Plus I just had to replace sway bar links and both front tires due to accessive wear. This vehicle doesnt even have 35,000 miles on it. There should be no reason to replace those things so soon. Please help!.

Oil burns through oil excessively, 2,900 miles after oil change, every oil change the vehicle starts alarming oil pressure low and will just shut off in the middle of driving. I've almost got into multiple accidents due to this. It's dangerous, no warning except the alarm which comes on as the vehicle shuts off.

Car suddenly shut down on me automatically while pulling onto highways at 60mph it engaged parking brake and displayed a message on screen that stated "place shifter into park and restart". I headed for the dealership instantly. After oil consumption test it was determined that the engine would be replaced. Engine was replace mid November 2020. Not even 3000 miles on the new engine it once agian stalled out and engaged parking brake. Oil is not low. "check engine light" is on and car bogs down when accelerated. Can not drive in normal traffic. Almost like transmission is going. I have two children under 2yrs old an its our only car! I expressed my concerns about the saftey of the Jeep and it definitely is not 5here at all! my wife and I do not trust driving this vehicle one more mile.

Car needed a new engine about 2 months ago for burning oil. During this time I stalled on a busy road and someone almost hit me. Last week I was in florida and my car would not start, it then started smoking underneath and a small fire was started. The car was towed to Chrysler dealership and is currently still there with an Chrysler engineer coming to inspect what happened. I have attached a copy of the text message exchange with Chrysler dealership in florida to describe the issue. The what sounds like an electrical fire occurred on 2/6/21. The engine was replaced about 2 months ago. This car is extremely unsafe.

Merging onto the highway the car suddenly turned off and the parking brake engaged. I was able to put on hazards but my vehicle was stopped on an on ramp and wouldn't start up right away. Looking into the problem a little more after I was able to get home, this car is known to have an excessive oil consumption issue. I changed my oil myself 4 months ago and am working from home, there has been minimal driving. When I checked the oil, it barely reached the dipstick. Called the dealership and asked what Jeep is doing about this problem, the response was to bring my car in for an oil change (which it doesn't need) and to bring the car back every 500 miles for an oil consumption test. That is all Jeep is doing about this problem. There is no warning that your oil is low, your car will just turn off in the middle of driving it. Extremely terrifying.

Car stalled going down the freeway without warning, taken to dealership and was told low on oil, oil changed and no word of oil consumption problem, asked and got an oil consumption test at dealer to which they said 1 quart per 2000 miles is normal. Had independent oil consumption test done at masons automotive and the car is burning 1 quart of oil every 747 miles. Now a recall to reprogram the computer. The car is also on its 3rd set of batteries due to battery failure, both batteries had failed leaving us stranded as the batteries fail instantly. Drove the car and parked it, came back little later and the car won't start all warning and error lights start flashing and can't stop them, had to tow the car to the dealer.

Car burns a lot of oil, will shut down while driving. Will also say service transmission when idling for 5 minutes & not allow me to drive.

Driving at night the car stalled out with no warning light or anything just completely shut off turned it back on then did it again and again luckily I was able to get home cause I wasn't very far then the next day took it to the dealership. I was told that the car has an issue with oil consumption but I had done an oil change not even 2000 miles ago and I couldn't believe how there was no warning I was lucky it was at night and there was nobody around driving behind me and now I'm waiting 1500 miles to get it checked out again and if it does it again they said I'll get a new engine I hope this issue gets resolved can't believe the quality of these cars is so bad.

2018 Jeep Compass stalls in the middle of busy highways. Extremely unsafe. Jeep says engine burns oil too fast. Many times there is not even a warning light. Has happened since I bought the car. Happens every 1000-2000 miles. Jeep said it's a safety feature and to just add oil. That did not fix the problem and is not a solution to this dangerous engine that many other people are experiencing. There needs to be a recall before someone gets killed.

The engine burns an excessive amount of oil and then stalls while running - this is a huge safety issue. The first time this happened no oil light came on and it only flashed a few times on the second instance. Only 43000 miles on the engine an still under warranty but Jeep is refusing to address this issue. Only 3000 miles since last oil change and had to bring to dealership because of stalling and was told it needed oil (3+ quarts). This is a know issue to Jeep and they are putting people's lives at risk. Jeep is claiming that this is normal. They refuse to address because the issue is big and they refuse to pay to fix this. This happened to my daughter several times when driving. The dealer said it is a know issue and Jeep is saying not covered under warranty. They charged us $185 today and said we need to check oil at ever fill up.

I left my house and drove about a mile down the road. I stopped at a stop sign and as I went to proceed onto an extremely busy road my 2018 Jeep Compass completely shut down. It wouldn't move and told me to shift gears then press the brake and start button. Multiple attempts would not restart the car. Even though I put it into park, the d on the shifter was flashing and a message on the dashboard said that it had to be in park to start. . . Even though it was in park. It took between 5-7 minutes to finally start running, but gave no indication of what the issue was, no warning lights or anything. I was able to drive a mile to my destination without any issue, but was momentarily in fear for my life as the engine shut down with no notice. Upon further investigation, I immediately made an appointment at the dealership to have it checked out. The man who helped we when I got there said he thought he knew what the issue was. He showed me that there was hardly any oil on the dipstick. I realize I was about 800 miles past the 5000 mile oil change, and they told me that Jeep said it was acceptable to burn a quart of oil every 2000 miles. This seems excessive to me and every mechanic that I've talked to. I have read that the engine was designed to shut off when oil is low and Chrysler confirmed that. How does this pass testing? there is no warning light at all and chances are that you will die or be seriously injured if your car just shuts off in traffic. I am genuinely concerned for my life and the lives and safety of others while having these faulty vehicles are on the road. There needs to be a recall ASAP and engines need to be replaced with ones that don't burn through fuel like this. Hundreds of people have reported the same issue online.

At the end of February 2020 my 2018 Jeep Compass engine would seize, while I was driving. It would shut off, and automatically put on the parking brake. I would no longer be able to accelerate, I'd lose power steering, and then it would struggle to restart. This obviously put me at high risk for causing an accident or being involved in a collision. Before the engine shut down, I would see "cannot shift while vehicle is in drive" on my dashboard screen. I had it towed to dealership, as I was rightly terrified to drive it, and they said it was a loose electrical shifting wire. They stated that they secured it and that it should be fine. It happened again two days later, this time with no dashboard screen indication, only the d on my gear stick flashed, and I brought it back. Upon inspection the dealership said that I was out of oil and this was triggering the engine shut off. I was 800 miles over for an oil change (that I had scheduled but was unable to drive to because of the car malfunctioning) however my car had given me no indication whatsoever that it needed oil. I now must go back to the dealer in 1000 miles for an oil consumption test. Dealership predicts I may possibly need a new engine. My car also jerks when I switch gears and at times it struggles to start. Even if the engine is replaced there is no guarantee that the car engine won't seize again if it is low on oil, or thinks it is, and I shouldn't have to manually check the oil of a 2018 vehicle that I purchased with the expectation that it was safe and reliable. Really disappointed with Chrysler. I've owned Jeeps in the past that were great and lasted forever. This is really something that Chrysler should consider recalling the whole make/model for. I'm afraid to drive anywhere or have other people in my car. My car is a liability not a safe passenger vehicle.

The 2. 4 l engine in this car has oil consumption issue. Fca negated all prior tests they did and say I must start over and test every 1500 miles,not every 2000. They dont want to replace the lousy engines. Car shuts off on road when oil gets too low. Very dangerous! they say just have it towed to dealership when engine dies. Card has been towed there 3 times so far for malfunctions in engine. They want to put a lock on oil filter and demand only they do oil changes or consumer is responsible for new engine. Any recourse?.

My Jeep Compass turns off while driving. The low oil pressure light comes on and the parking break turns on in the middle of the street, more than 4 times. Took my Jeep to a dealership, they said don't worry you just need an oil change. I stated that my check oil light did not come on, the engine light did not come on, and the change your oil light did not come on. How am I supposed to know the oil pressure is low? the light only flashes for a second, until the vehicle turns off. The first couple times, I was unaware the light flashed. I was to busy trying to avoid being hit from behind. I had to turn on hazards, figure out the parking break engaged and panic. That is a hazard on the road. I inquired if there was a recall or any injuries or deaths due to the issue. The answer was not yet. The 2. 4 burns oil, everyone has this problem. I don't find acceptable. I have to drive this car at least 6 more years. It is not a safe vehicle. The Jeep has died backing up in parking lot. The Jeep dies during turning both right and light on busy streets. And once, I turned left drove 4 cars length and stopped dead in traffic on a busy street.

~tl-the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The vehicle stated that while driving at various speeds making a right or left turn the vehicle stalls for about 10 minutes. The contact managed to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the road applied the emergency brake turn the vehicle of and back on which the vehicle resume back to normals the contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sway bar, compressor oil consumption were faulty and needed to be repaired. However, the failure recurred. Nhtsa campaign number: 17v670000 (engine and engine cooling) as a possible solution to the failure however the VIN was not included. No leaks present from dealer nor contact. The manufacturer was notified of the failure as a case number was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. Ck.

2. 4l multiair motor burns oil at excessive rate. New car burns 1qt of oil per 850 miles. No "low oil" indicator light. When low on oil, car stalls, jolts, or shuts off. Stall generally occurs when turning at low speeds (less than 30 mph). Significant safety hazard if turning in front of oncoming traffic. Car will stall if down 2 quarts. Therefore, if you do not refill oil every 1500 miles, you risk stalling on roadways. Current vehicle has 26,000 miles. Normally add 5 quarts of oil between scheduled oil changes. Stalling has occurred approximately 10 times. Two times stall occurred in intersection, almost resulting in high speed collision from opposing traffic.

My car is not even 2 years old and it has completely shut down twice while driving. Very quickly a �low oil pressure warning� sign will flash on the dashboard, and soon after the car becomes limp and completely shuts down. It will not move and doesn't allow further driving. The dealership found my oil is low, even though I haven't even hit 2500 miles since my last oil change. They are having me come back after 500 miles to monitor oil consumption and investigate further. This is extremely frustrating and dangerous, as it has shut off when I'm on main roads with cars all around me. I'm very disappointed, as I have never had any issues with previous Jeeps I've owned.

Oil burning up way before oil change is due. Caused my car to stall in the middle of the road. The stall occurred while making a right turn at an intersection speed of approximately 10-15 mph. Mileage was about 39000 while making the turn a quick chime and oil pressure low came on and disappeared and the car immediately stalled. Come to find out that was was oil on dipstick. No warnings.

While driving my Jeep Compass, the engine will randomly shut down/stall. The last incident occurred while crossing railroad tracks. The engine shuts down due to low engine pressure as a safety feature to prevent damage to the engine (information from the dealership). However, the engine shutting down/stalling is actually creating a hazard. This has occurred on three separate occasions and the vehicle is a 2018 (2 times while on multi lane highways and 1 time whole crossing railroad tracks). The dealer solution is that the oil needs to be checked prior to every operation to ensure it is within operating levels which is completely unacceptable. The dealership also stated that burning 1 quart of oil / 4000 miles is within tolerance for the engine in the vehicle. Also unacceptable. I'm just lucky I wasn't transporting children in the vehicle during any of the incidents (part of my job to transport children using my personal vehicle). Currently Jeep provides no remedy for the issue other than to constantly check the oil. My concern is what will their response be when someone stalls on a railroad track with an oncoming train?.

Engine oil checked low 3,000 miles after last oil change. This is consistent with multiple online reports of these vehicles burning oil rapidly. Other reports state vehicle shuts down while traveling with no warning indications and the dipstick registers no engine oil.

Purchased at the dealership @ 5k. . Engine stalled @ 18k miles as I was backing out of my driveway. . Checked and there was no oil on stick. . Had to buy oil twice just to take my Jeep to be serviced and have an �oil consumption test� performed multiple times, was told everything was fine. . 11k miles later. . �service engine,� �service transmission,� flashes on dash. No oil on stick within 400 miles of needing an oil change. . Engine won't turnover/start. Stranded with <30k miles & haven't had the vehicle a year.

I left my house and drove about a mile down the road. I stopped at a stop sign and as I went to proceed onto an extremely busy road my 2018 Jeep Compass completely shut down. It wouldnt move and told me to shift gears then press the brake and start botton. Multiple attempts would not restart the car. It took between 5-7 minutes to finally start running, but gave no indication of what the issue was. I was able to drive a mile to my destination without any issue, but was momentarily in fear for my life as the engine shut down with no notice. Upon further investigation, I found a website containing of hundreds of recent complaints describing the exact same scenario. Jeeps solution has been that the cars are in need of oil changes, but yet for myself and many others, no oil warning light is even coming on. My husband checked my oil and there basically is none. I called the dealership service center who informed me that many people have been having this issue and it needs an oil change. I find this incredibly unacceptable and feel that Jeep is in over their heads with how to resolve this faulty system that nothing is being done about it and wont until fatalities are unfortunately reported. I contacted Chrysler who said it may need an oil consumption test done, which is obviously going to require me to drive the vehicle in unsafe conditions to run a �test�. I have also read that the engine was designed to shut off when oil is low and Chrysler confirmed that. How does this pass testing? there is no warning light at all and chances are that you will die or be seriously injured if your car just shuts off in traffic. I am genuinely concerned for my life and the lives and safety of others while having these faulty vehicles on the road. There needs to be a recall ASAP and engines need to be replaced with one that dont burn through fuel like this Compass was �designed� to.

I bought a 2018 Jeep Compass in 2019 it had about 10 thousand miles on it. 4 months later I'm heading to work and car stalls out. I started back up and made it to my local garage they checked the oil and there was not a drop of oil in it. They said it was there fault they never put oil in when I purchased. 4 months later completely out of oil again. And here we are today 2 months after the last service call my is going threw almost an entire tank of oil every 2 months. And my local dealership where I purchased the car keeps making me do oil consumption test. . . And my car has completely ran out of oil 3 times and I have had 2000 miles more to go before I needed an oil change. I actually run out of oil in my way before I need an oil change. I have complained to the Jeep corporation several times in the last year and they will do nothing to fix.

Purchased new Compass from best Jeep in Plymouth MA. After first oil change, just before second 13,000 miles (sticker says to go every 7,000 miles) low oil pressure light came on, had to get off the road. Took 2 quarts of oil to get to safe zone, oil dripping was noticeable under car and I brought back to dealer. Got car back and they noted no oil leak found and saw spilled oil at filler spot. I put oil in the car, there was no oil spilled around the filler. When I looked, dealership had taken, what seemed to be an oily rag, and wiped all around that area. Then tried to blame me. Got car home, oil was still dripping. Called, made another appointment. They then wrote on the work order "verified, service manager documented oil under vehicle. They put die in oil, cleaned up present oil on outside of engine. Went back to dealer after 300 miles, oil was down half a quart, but dealer said no leaks found. Was told that this is within the normal range for a new engine to burn up to 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. This means the engine is already showing 1 quart of oil aprox every 600 miles. Now I have to do an "oil consumption test" every 1000 miles. After reading what can happen when low oil pressure happens, car shutting down and locking up so cant be driven, has happened. Once at a stop light, then trying to leave a parking spot. I thought it was operator error and I must have done something wrong because no warning lights came on and I was able to restart the car and continue. My fault for not following up with dealer, however if happens again, car will be just towed from spot. To me, this is an issue Jeep knows about and is putting profits over lives. The cost of a life if the car shuts down on the highway or intersection with no warning, if far less than what it will cost them to step up and acknowledge and correct. I just pray it doesn't happen to my family.

Tl-the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that everytime a turn was attempted the oil warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle turned off. The contact also stated that the failure first occurred in July. 2019. The vehicle was taken to the dealer dutchess Chrysler/Jeep, 2285 south rd, poughkeepsie, NY 12601, the just add oil and advised the contact to keep an eye on the oil consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,782. VIN not available. Bp.

Took ownership of vehicle in Aug 2018. At 6000 miles it randomly stalled. Returned car to dealership and was informed there was no oil so they topped off and asked me to return for an oil consumption test in 1000 miles. Upon returning it was determined that the engine needed to be replaced which was at 9000 miles. At 14000 miles the same issue begins to happen again and car stalled several times, once backing out of driveway, the other at an intersection. I had the car towed to dealership and was told there is nothing wrong with vehicle. Awaiting return and reimbursement for rental vehicle and any compensation from Jeep.

I exited the highway during rush hour morning traffic. My Jeep stopped all the sudden. The engine shut itself off and engaged the emergency brake. It didn't keep rolling or let me get out of the lane of traffic. I sat there for ten minutes with car honking and swerving around me. I took it to the dealership. They said these cars (Jeep Compass) are notoriously bad about stalling out because they burn oil quickly and the oil light won't come on. They told me to constantly check my oil. I bought it brand new last year. I've had it about a year a half. I called Chrysler customer service. They told me �yes. These 2. 4 liter engines burn oil too quickly. It is a known issue. The Jeep will cut off without any warning while driving. This is a safety issue for myself and other drivers on the road with these Jeeps. You cannot move the car once it does this.

Burning excessive oil. Had to get new motor. Second motor is burning oil. Going through second oil consumption test. 2018 Jeep Compass with 11,500 miles. Still under warranty. Vehicle can stop without warning, anywhere at any time.

I bought a new 2018 Jeep Compass in February 2019. Within a couple months my oil light came on. I stopped at a service center immediately and was told my vehicle had burned through all of the oil. I immediately contacted my Jeep dealer and started a oil consumption test. In the test I burned 1 quart of oil in 2024 miles. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle shutting down due to low oil or ruining the engine.

The 2018 Jeep Compass engines have an unresolvable defect causing the oil to burn at an accelerated rate. It is a dangerous safety issue for anyone driving a 2018 Jeep Compass. The vehicle requires synthetic oil which would normally give you 5,000 drivable miles or 5 months before having to get an oil change. After only 2,000 miles, while driving my Jeep Compass, it shut off without any warning. Luckily, there was no traffic on the road because the only thing I was able to do was coast to the shoulder and brake. Only when the engine shut down did a low oil pressure light come on. I never would have bought this vehicle if I knew that the car would shut down with no warning. Absolutely zero warning. . . No oil warning light, no message, no symbol, nothing. This happened again last week, just shy of 3 months after my last oil change. I immediately took it to the dealership and was told that after they change the oil (again), I will have to drive the vehicle, despite the safety issues, for another 1,000 miles so they can conduct an oil consumption test. After that, they will need to do a bore test to see if there is scoring in the cylinders. I was told that I will most likely need a new engine. I then researched this issue and was appalled at the sheer number of people this is happening to and despite the complaints, Chrysler has not issued a recall. In fact, they are still selling this car to people even with a serious design flaw. There should be an immediate recall of all 2018 Jeep Compasses before someone dies, if someone hasn't already. I don't want to be a statistic. I am lucky in that both of the times my Jeep shut off, there was no traffic around me. I have read complaints by people who were driving with their children on highways when their cars just shut off. How terrifying. This is an extremely dangerous situation and should be addressed immediately by Chrysler.

Oil burning up way before oil change is due. Caused my car to stall in the middle of the road with my three month old infant in the back seat.

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled three times without warning while driving and in traffic due to it burning oil. The vehicle was taken to napleton's arlington heights Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer, (1155 w dundee rd, arlington heights, IL 60004, (847) 481-8411) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was burning oil and needed a new engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was made aware of the of the failure and provided a case number: unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 7,398. Aw.

Jeep Compass is a safety hazard death trap; I cannot believe there is not a recall on it! it literally burns oil down to nothing & with no warning whatsoever the parking brake engages, the dashboard lights up and it just stops, while driving, on the road, in traffic! this has happened to me twice! I have changed the oil regularly (actually early) and after 3,000 miles it is empty?? are you serious? first time it happened the dealer conducted an "oil consumption" test, what a joke. Obviously it is over-consuming oil because it just seized up on me while driving & making a turn in front of other cars and the dipstick was clear, not one drop of oil left! made special trips to the dealer so they could top off the oil after 1,500 miles (their solution to this known problem) and it happened a second time after less than 3,000 miles, and once again while making a turn I was almost rear ended because the Jeep stopped in the middle of the road!!! the Jeep is currently at the dealer while they "figure out what is wrong" and how to handle it. I will tell you how to handle it, recall them before someone dies!!! if I could ditch Jeep/Chrysler right now I would, and as soon as my lease is up, I will be going back to gm cars!.

My Jeep has been at the dealer for a week while they figure out what is wrong with it. They said the oil is not pumping out. At my last oil change they said the Jeep is burning oil like crazy with no warning about low oil. It has 13,000 miles on it and also intermittently shuts off while driving,I have to pull over and the parking break engages. Then restart it, it also intermittently won't start at all. Then after a few hours it will start but runs really rough. Another issue is with what sounds like the suspension in the front right of the vehicle. It feels very unsafe to drive as I have two young children. The vehicle stopped in the middle of a freeway in traffic in new york and it was the scariest few moments of my life. Honestly I agree that this car is starting to feel like a death trap yet there are no recalls when I enter my VIN.
