Automatic Emergency Braking Problems of Jeep Compass - part 2

My instrument cluster has went dark. It stays in dark mode during the day. I am unable to visually see my speed while I’m driving. My aeb system is also having issues. I have tried to remedy this at the dealership, but they say there is no resolution.

Since new collision avoidance/other safety features will just shut off was in for service several times to correct problem finally Jeep got involved for latest software update 4 days later system failed again set up another appt with Jeep/dealer unfortanetley vehicle was involved in collision with school bus prior to appointment. I could sometimes be able to turn system back on thru touch screen and sometimes would not allow function to be reset I had reset feature after last failure but it failed again and as previous just randomly while traveling had system been functioning as intended it would have avoided this collision.

My 2018 Jeep Compass started out having minor issues that I just blew off at first. First thing I noticed after purchasing it new was the cruise control wouldn't allow me to set speed. It only happened randomly, now its every other time the Jeep starts up. Then my back up camera started going black. It worked more times than not. Well, time goes by and now the whole touch screen is black, or white lines, upside down, and sometimes just rolls then completely black. Another day, my oil change light came on, (2000 miles before it was due) and the parking brake engaged itself and cut off. It wouldn't start back up for about 3 mins. I checked the oil level and it was way below the oil pressure gauge. So I added oil and it seemed to fix the issue. Which brings us up to date until today, my car was sitting still in a parking lot for about 15 mins. All of a sudden the dash clutter turns red with the message transmission needs service. I cut the Jeep off and turned it back on and when reversing, it jumped and knocked really hard and when put in drive wouldn't accelerate above 30 mph. I pulled into auto zone and had them read the check engine light and the code said p1dd2-torque request singal from tcm denied. Most likely solution: reprogram electronic shift module (esm) powertrain system.

For the second time this week , the emergency brakes have engaged while my vehicle was in motion . Both times in the middle of a busy intersection . The car gives me about 5 seconds to try to get to somewhere safe before it totally cuts off. Luckily both times I was able to put hazards on , get a clear path to the side of the road and fidget with it until it started up again . Terrifying to think that I could lose my life or cause someone else to get seriously injured because my vehicle just stops in the middle of driving . With no warning , and literally only seconds to react.

Please see uploaded documents for a personal account of all issues on the 2022 Jeep Compass. Yes, it is available for inspection. No warning indications prior to incidents. I went to dealership & they are aware of issues with the mechanical & electrical system, however they did not offer any resolution. No, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer or anyone else. The issues began within a few days of being bought on 9/12/22. The incidents are random, ongoing, and increasing. No, the issues have not been reproduced or confirmed by anyone. I live 2 hrs from the dealership, however I have made numerous trips to them & on 1/24/23 did make them aware of the problems in writing. I have tried returning the vehicle on several occasions. No one would work with me, return phone calls or emails. They did agreed to a trade but with a $10,000 charge for trading this vehicle in for another one just like it but cheaper cash price of $32,595. That was 9/22/2022, 10 days after signing the contract. However I have been calling & email the salesman & business manager from day one. I am convinced they sold me a lemon & are preditory lenders considering how they have treated me. The salesman tore the window sticker off the Jeep, waded it up & threw it away the night it was bough. He also did not give me my trade in license plate, or my extra key fob to the new vehicle. I have since gotten the key fob on a trip there. The license plate is gone. I have called & went by numerous times with no one willing to work with me concerning the Jeep on all situations. I have since learn base msrp is $26,525. My contract was written for $38,864 in total. Cash price was $35,305. They also financed a down payment through a credit card company when told I had no down payment of $3,000, which is a separate payment. I am not sure this is where I complain about preditory lending but I thought it wouldn't hurt to share my situation considering the issues I am having with the physical vehicle.

Screens in vehicle have dimmed and are unable to brighten. It’s impossible to see while driving during the day. I have run out of gas on the highway, and almost caused an accident. My vehicle also automatically breaks and sounds an alarm as if I have had a collision, and almost caused another accident from being rear ended. Thankfully, one of the issues has been resolved and the dealership is fixing it (although my VIN number was not included in the recall at this time). I’ve developed a fear of driving on the highway now so be cautious of purchasing until all these issues have been resolved.

The aeb and lane departure keeps turning off and saying needs service. As soon as you kill car and start it back up again it will allow you to turn the feature back on. It also turns off at times.

2 issues 1 - false positive aeb while driving with no obstacles around on a rural road (speed and mileage below) 2 - backup camera delays, sometimes well into a reverse drive.

The vehicle kept telling me that stop start is unavailable service stop start then there would be a battery on the left side on dashboard showing. Then it would say stop safety vehicle will shut off soon. Called both dealerships by my house to see if I can get the vehicle serviced one of the advisers told me the vehicle would not shut down that it would be okay to drive out of town. Brought my Jeep into another dealership and their adviser told me the same thing. Last night 12/25 I was able to pull my car into a neighborhood before my vehicle completely shutdown I had it towed to my house.

I have 3 issues with my vehicle: 1. Whenever I am in my vehicle for more than 20 minutes the radio starts to fade out and eventually all sound on the vehicle is muted. This happens every time I drive the vehicle for more than 20 minutes an can only be resolved by shutting off the vehicle for an extended period. 2. I was driving on the highway at 65 mph when my car suddenly started braking and nearly caused a rear end collision with the vehicle behind. I tried to continue pressing the accelerator, but the car was not advancing. Fortunately the vehicle did not come to a full stop and I was able to recover. 3. Just the other day my vehicle started to display a light on the dashboard that has warned me that the forward collision warning system is now off. None of the above issues have yet to be inspected by the dealership. I have an appointment on February 3rd. It was very difficult to find a dealership with availability. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. All these problems appeared within the first 5-days of owning the vehicle.

As the vehicle is driven for longer periods of time (over 45 minutes), the instrument panel and control system for the car freezes and slowly fades out on the audio. Once the audio is faded completely it can no longer play the radio, calls or any alerts. The issue continues with freezing the instrument panel and the lane assist, collision warning and pedestrian sensors stop working. This becomes a safety issue as you can no longer use the hands-free device as your car auto-connects via blue tooth. It is also a major issue as the sensors on the vehicle are not dependable for operation. This happens every time you operate the vehicle for longer periods of time.

Does not correct car from departing lane. Also intermittently turns automatic braking of. Intermittently brakes when no hazard. Loses sound for radio and gps on long trips.

Greetings, there is day time dash dimming issues, and unable to adjust manually. Anti collision feature randomly turns off while driving. Auto on and off feature for fuel economy has not worked in 14 months. Finally, a hard gear jerking event occurs when traveling at slow speed that feels like being rear ended by another vehicle. Not feeling safe with this Jeep. Dealer had the vehicle for week to tell me these are known issues with no remedy available. Please help!.

This vehicle has two dangerous issues: 1) it brakes unexpectedly and for no reason during drive. This has happened to me at least 3 times while driving on the freeway without any cars close in front or around me. Bells and whistles just go off all of a sudden and vehicle brakes for no legitimate reason, throwing me forward. 2) this vehicle stalls while driving. This has happened to me 6 times. Engine just falls dead while in drive. I have to put it in park and restart the engine. This could get me killed.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -the emergency brake will automatically turn on when my car stops due to the automatic stop start. Then it will not start again and it won’t let me turn the brake off. I have been stuck in the middle of traffic before because of this. Also, the automatic stop start has killed both of my batteries multiple times. In the last 2 years I have had this car, I have replaced my batteries 2 times and have had to go get them fully recharged multiple times because they just completely drain and die how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -I was unable to move my vehicle from the middle of the road while I was trying to get it to turn back on, this had happened several times has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -no has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -no were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -no there was not any warnings, there is usually a check engine light after the fact but not before, and it disappears after driving it once or twice after that happens.

As I was accelerating my vehicle began to downshift and warning started flashing and the parking brake engaged while driving. When slowed at an interesection the car would notaccelerate forward when light turned green despite being in drive. Dash showed parking brake engaged even though it was not. The d on the gear shift was flashing. I had to turn the car off twice and restart while in the middle of an intersection! this is the second time this has happened while driving. I took it to the dealer first time and they could not find anything wrong.

The car is unable to be driven. Sudden shifting and broken down abs system.

The emergency braking l, collision warning automatically shut off by itself while driving. Occurred 7/12 and 7/20 I have reported this before. Took to the dealer and they could not replicate. This is a huge safety issue! I am taking it to the dealer again on 7/22/2022 at 730 am. Dealer motorworld Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 150 motorworld dr wilkes-barre, pennsylvania 18702 (570) 301-6107.

As I was driving my car and was stopped at a red left and when the green light came on my car shut down all of a sudden. My emergency brake turned on and it was not allowing me to turn on my car or drive it. This caused my safety to be jeopardizes because I was on the road and had no warning it was going to turn off on me. Then my engine light went on and I had to have it towed to the nearest mechanic and when they checked the car had 4 codes p0123 p0222 p2111 and u0420. All indicated that it was the throttle. When my regular mechanic finally checked it he said the throttle was broken and needed to be replaced. I never had any warning or had my car experience any of this prior to this incident. This car is only 4 years old and now I have to pay over $1000 to have it fixed.

This is how multiple times this has occurred and the second time I’m reporting this. I entered my vehicle and started the engine. I needed to use gps to reach my destination, so I was sitting in park while getting everything the address inputted. For no apparent reason I start getting messages: aeb limited functionality service required, I do not have the active lane management functionality either, service headlights, service automatic window wipers etc. I eventually can get these settings to go away by manually turning them on but not this time.

The Compass randomly stalls when the auto stop start is engaged and the car is stopped. It stalls when we press the gas and the emergency brake automatically engages. The car has to be put in park, emergency brake turned off and then restart the car. It has happened at stop signs, lights, traffic and intersections. It does not happen when we press the stop start button so it does not go on. Brought to the dealer and they could not recreate and never heard of problem. They had it for 10 days.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Compass trailhawk. The contact stated that the automatic braking system failed to turn off. While driving at 65 mph on the highway, a plastic bag flew across the vehicle, and the vehicle locked up and abruptly stopped. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, who opened a case, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 21.

This is the third time this has happened to me. The second time I took it to the dealership for inspection and was told they could not locate any issues. The first time it happened, I had started my vehicle, and it was running for around 3-4 minutes while I got my child settled in the backseat. By the time I made it back to the drivers seat, I heard noises alerting me to issues. Multiple lights showed up on the dash, and when I went into the menu it would tell me system failure, and service required. Prior to this, there weren't any indicators as to some sort of failure was going to happen. After a few days I was able to manually reset the notifications.

On 3/19/2022 and on 3/21/2022 while at a stop sign went to make a right hand turn and my car stalled and emergency brake engaged by itself. Had to wait a couple minutes and finally car restarted. Both times the car stalled in roadway, not enough power to pull off road. My car has 45000 miles and original paperwork says oil consumption recall, however the VIN search does not show that at all. Please help.

The vehicles emergency brake engages itself while the vehicle is in drive. I’ve reported this to my dealership, they say they’ve never heard of this issue. I’ve reported the issue twice. This is an obvious safety issue because the vehicle is randomly braking and coming to a complete stop while it is in drive. The brake signal comes on and there is no way to regain control of the vehicle unless you put the car in park and turn it off and on again. The emergency brake button also does not work during this time. This often happens when driving after a stop light. The vehicle begins to move and suddenly the brake engages itself, and the car stops this has almost gotten me rear ended on several occasions. I’m forced to throw on my hazards and rush to regain control of the vehicle . All the while holding up traffic, cars honking and trying to get past me. This issue was not confirmed to me by the dealer. They seem to act as if they haven’t heard of this issue. I’ve researched online and other Jeep brand owners are experiencing the same exact issue. My vehicle was purchased brand new and hadn’t been in any accidents before this problem began. It started the year I purchased and still happens till this day. I’ve tried to get to the bottom of the issue but I’ve been quoted $1000 to change both batteries without promise that this will resolve the issue. I don’t want to pay out of pocket for an indefinite resolution that the company should take care of because they sold the vehicle to me with this safety issue. I’ve looked for recalls that depict my exact issue for my make and model and I haven’t seen any. This needs to be investigated because many people bought their cars with this same safety hazard so why isn’t Jeep taking accountability!.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, he heard abnormal grinding sounds coming from the front driver's side wheel area of the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that the forward collision avoidance emergency braking system and pedestrian emergency braking system was independently disabled. The message "forward collision and pedestrian brakes turned off" was displayed. The contact stated that the automatic emergency braking system would engage inadvertently while there were no vehicles or objects nearby. The contact stated that the emergency braking system engaged while he was depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on two separate occasions and the dealer informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that an unknown software needed to be updated; however, the part was not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 200.

Car stalled at stop light. Threw on emergency brake, flashes esc system fail. Auto stop/start flashes unable to work. Car wouldn’t move. Put in park tried to turn off wouldn’t shut down. Had to put on flashers as I couldn’t move. Finally after three tries putting it into park it shut down and was able to restart. This has happened 4 times now and doesn’t matter if I’m motion or stopped. It will shut down while driving down regular roads.

The car stops in the middle of traffic and doesn’t restart for about 5 mins causing traffic stops. People have to go around me because the emergency brake won’t disengage. The car won’t start when it’s supposed to I called to get it repaired and they gave an appointment 2 months later. The car is just sitting.

I have had several lights flash on my dash (I have videos) and car would not start without a jump start. I took it to a dealership that told me I needed two new batteries (needing these because the vehicle ruined the two I had). I took my vehicle to a battery store for them to install batteries, as soon as I left the pull over safely the car is going to shit down came on, on highway I finally found a place but not before the car started putting several warming lights on and check engine light on again, then lurching slowing to no acceleration and stopping in the middle of the road no power, none not even enough to power the door locks. This is the 3rd attempt at fixing this issue without any help from Chrysler that my VIN should be included in the u87 recall I have the same engine and problems. The dealership (victory Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram) refused to actually fox the issue. Then told me because I did not buy the mopar brand batteries that why my vehicle nearly killed my family, again.

Ever since I have owned this vehicle from March 2018 when driving (in motion) my emergency brake will come on and shut me down, I have had enough! yesterday 5/4/2021 I was almost hit by a semi because of this. Jeep has not acknowledged this issue. Car has been brought in to dealer multiple times but I keep being told they cannot recreate the issue ( as it is sparatic).

On n/b i5 between albany and salem oregon, traveling with the cruise control set at 73mph, the vehicle began abruptly braking on it's own. In a matter of seconds the vehicle went from 73mph to approximately 45mph, and hard/fast enough to lock the seat belt. The vehicle was then pulled off the highway, turned back on/off again, and driven to the destination without issues. Luckily the incident happened at about 430am and there was no traffic. Had there been traffic a collision would've been imminent and unavoidable.

My forward collision warning system gave a false positive while I was driving down a busy road way. It activated the braking system when there were no vehicles in front of me for at least 40 yards and causing a vehicle that was following me to have to break and swerve to miss hitting me. I was on rt 15 in shamokin dam around 12:30 pm going 30 mph.

Today my car stopped (again) in the middle of the road as I was driving and the emergency brake light went on. This is the third time that this has happened to me and I am literally scared out of mind to drive this car that I purchased for my birthday. I've only had the car for 6 months and this is a major safety hazard.

I parked my car in my drive lastnight just like every night; and I walked out this morning and the back end of my car was in the street! it rolled back more than half of my driveway! please understand that yes it snowed here in NJ however there was rock salt (a significant amount on my driveway - township grade) there was a very light amount of snow nothing crazy that would've caused this. My driveway is not a hill or harsh slopping at all. I'm concerned for not only my safety and of course for my car, but what if that rolled further?. . . What if it hit someone walking their dog. . Or another vehicle passing by?.
