The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle started losing motive power. The contact stated that her son observed that the check engine and the forward collision avoidance warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that her son stopped and turned it off and restarted the vehicle, but after shifting to drive(d) and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact called for a tow truck, and the vehicle was towed to a local dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated the vehicle lost power again, with the check engine and forward collision avoidance warning lights illuminated, with several other unknown warning lights. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer who advised the contact that a software update had been performed, but had not informed the contact what software had been updated. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer informed the contact that there was an electrical spike or surge intermittently coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,300.
My [xxx] mother (Jeep enthusiast) bought a 2025 Jeep Compass. One week after she bought it the rpm light started flashing. The dealer stated the main computer (electrical system) completely failed. There is no stability in the car. There's no braking system, no power steering, no cruise control, no nothing, the seat moves without her adjusting it, the automatic dimmer switch turns on without user intervention - the Jeep is a complete lemon. It is unsafe to drive. It's like an octopus without a head. They said they'd buy it back from her for $14,000 less than she paid - a week ago. The part is on back order. She recently moved interstate and is forced to between states - 5 hours each way. I am beyond livid. She's been a lifelong Jeep owner who has been treated horribly by this company. What is the recourse??? she bought it [xxx] and has 4,000 miles on it. What can we do? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
