Four problems related to noises during shifting have been reported for the 2018 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When shifting vehicle will jolt and make a pop noise mostly when driven long miles and then shifting between speed limits , going through roundabouts, stopping and going ,.
I own a manual 2018 Jeep Compass with around 14,000 miles. This has happened twice now. I noticed, and not sure if it is a coincidence or not, after the car has idled a bit. Each time the car makes a terrible rattling noise. The car loses power, has no pick up, goes limp. It is a manual, and when I put it in 1st or 2nd gear, it will not go above 2rpms on the dial. I usually shift when it gets to 3. No warning lights of any kind come on. I managed to get it not to stall on the highway, but both times I have not had to stop at a light or anything. Both times I let it sit overnight, and it was fine in the morning. After the first time I took it to the dealership and they found nothing. I have contacted Chrysler and have a case number.
It makes a humming noise and it sounds like when you are slowing down it's almost like it's shifting down. Been doing since I picked it up from the dealer on 01/19/2018. I have had it at the dealership they say the noise is normal . I disagree. I have had a symbol twice come up that looks like this (a)! . My main concern is that humming noise and where is it coming from should I be concerned with the transmission? it happens around 25 and higher speed.
Automatic transmission, at times, makes a clunking noise shifting from 4th to 5th gear. Noted times are when cresting a hill (stays in 4th gear at higher rpm's until car levels out over the hill) and also when cruising at low speed (30-35mph) when rpm's are low. All other gear shifts are smooth. I have had it in to the dealership twice and it has been checked for upgrades via computer. One upgrade was made but did not change the transmission problem. I was also told that another 2018 Jeep Compass was taken for a test drive and it did the same thing, giving the impression that �that is how it is. � this is nonsense and should not happen with standard driving practices.
