1 Air Conditioner problem of the 2016 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 03/05/2021

I was driving my car and I turn on the "air conditioner" I hear this awful noise coming out of my glove box area, it was so startling that it took my eyes off the road and I hit a tree. I have the sound coming on every time I drive my crashed car.

2 Air Conditioner problem of the 2017 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 09/22/2020

The radio/navigation system seems to have a mind of it's own. First, the radio screen has been slowly separating from the radio, which hasn't affected the use of the touch screen usage. It is about half way separated. All of a sudden we find the unit changing our radio stations using our presets and manually entering in digits; it scrolls through the air conditioning vent options and stops on any one of them randomly; it has selected the uconnect app trying to load some application that isn't loaded; it has selected to turn on the heated steering wheel; it has selected to turn on either seat's heater and then off again, then both, etc. ; it has selected the navigation and routed to different locations and started the navigation all on it's own; on one drive, while in motion, this summer when 100 deg outside, it has turned the heater all the way up and then locked the screen so we couldn't change it back. On this one, it nearly caused an accident! my has had a stroke before and can't take the heat. When it wouldn't let her change it back to air conditioning she nearly passed out trying to get out of traffic and to the side of the road. It wouldn't even let her use the manual knobs to control the air conditioning. They were locked. Even when turning car off and then back on didn't help initially. It took 3 times until it let her adjust it. These happenings are random; some happening more than others and sometimes not at all. It happens at any point, in motion or sitting still; city, highway, turning, straight; it doesn't matter to it. This happens at least daily and will start and stop at random times. Most of the time it doesn't stop until you cut the car off. This is a safety issue in so many ways. I have videos that shows this, but can't upload a video.

4 Air Conditioner problem of the 2013 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 02/02/2019

Takata recall it is dealing with the trasmission temperature. Driving with or without the air conditioning on and cruise control for a period of time of a speed of 70. The light comes on the car begins to make a whining noise and the car begins to lose speed and power. The temperature light comes on and it is not overheating,I have to pull over cut vehicle off. For 5 or more minutes then continue on until it starts over again. This has happened multiple times. No one can figure out what is wrong with the car. I took to dealership and they said they can't tell me what is wrong with out the light being on at the moment I bring it there, the light comes on and the vehicle shuts down no possible way to even drive it when this happens, I have had numerous people trouble shoot and seems like they are just taking my money and not solving this issue, it seems to be a factory issue and needs to be fixed, being on the highway at a fast rate of speed and loosing power is unsafe. I will be looking for another vehicle. 1 affected product.
