Jeep Compass owners have reported 9 problems related to carrier/rack (under the equipment category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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?.

Less than 2500 miles as of today. Since start of lease in January: check tire pressure system light on, checked 5 times pressure is fine. Car stalls and stops when driving on highway. Does not accelerate. Car fails to start, says press brake and start button but does not start until 3x of turning off and on. Sometimes d flashes; sometimes a@ flashes on screen. Does not always restart at traffic lights when a@ is not pressed. For this reason I always press a@ to reduce stalling. Car will not initially start when a@ is pressed. In the last three weeks: engine not warm enough notice appears constantly despite warming car 5 plus minutes in 60 degree weather. Rear passenger speakers crackling and static sounds. Strange creaking sound when accelerating, braking or driving around 30-35 mph. Stalling/gear issues/flashing r and d caused car to go forward over parking lot bump and into gravel ditch instead of reversing.

The heat shield that protects and separates the gas tank from muffler preventing the heat from the muffler to overheat the gas tank has fallen from the brackets that holds this safety / heat shield in place. This heat shield is extremely important preventing any heat to damage the gas tank directly above. The brackets that held up the heat shield appeared to be of very poor quality and would tend to fail from my observation. Without this heat shield it appears a gas tank fire could occur in hot environments or possibly at idle without any air movement to cool the space between the gas tank and muffler.

I have a 2012 Jeep Compass sport, since July 2013 I have been having sputtering, surging, acceleration issues. I have taken to dealer over 3 times it is in dealer currently. They have put a tracker on to find issue and still nothing. When I try to accelerate and it gets bogged down and does not want to go any further this is a concern. Especially when I am entering highway and cannot get past 59mph with the car. It feels like I am in a windtunnel the low acceleration is insane. Sometimes it feels like it does not want to shift. Sometimes it takes 4-10 minutes just to get to 60 mph. I have to stay on the gas hard just to get it to go anywhere most of the time. I have had in dealer multiple times and they just say well we are not sure. Two weeks ago I was getting on highway and my car just stayed at 59 mph and 1. 5 rpms. And would go no further it did this for 4 + miles on highway. I had horns honking at me and I was just waiting to get pulled over for going to slow. Sounds and feels like a transmission issue. I understand its a 4 cyclinder. But it drove great and wonderfully smooth the first year, then a weird idle started to occur randomly, then a little surge when leaving stop signs/lights, it squeaks and creaks when making turns and creaks loudly going over bumps. I want someone to figure out what is going on with this. Chrysler seems to be ignoring every complaint and call I have made. I have contact Jeep via email at least 3 times. No answers at all. Someone help me figure this issue out. I just want a safe vehicle that does not want to stall at every take off from a stop.
