Engine Burning Oil Problems of Jeep Compass - part 2

Problem started around 43k mileage. When turning, the "low oil pressure" light would come on, then the engine would stall and sometimes the emergency brake would activate and stop the car. I would have to shut vehicle off and then turn back on to operate. This happened on side streets and once on highway. Took car into golling (dealer) and they said oil was very low. I had just had oil changed about 3k miles prior to that. Dealer told me that "these engines are known to burn oil". They told me to bring it back at 2k miles to have the oil checked. At 2k miles, the oil was low again and they did an oil change and told me to bring it back at 1k miles. I brought it back at 1k miles they needed to "top it off" and told me to bring it back again at 2k miles. The dealer also mentioned that if next oil check it was showing low, they may need to replace engine.

I bought a new 2018 Jeep Compass in February 2019. Within a couple months my oil light came on. I stopped at a service center immediately and was told my vehicle had burned through all of the oil. I immediately contacted my Jeep dealer and started a oil consumption test. In the test I burned 1 quart of oil in 2024 miles. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle shutting down due to low oil or ruining the engine.

The 2018 Jeep Compass engines have an unresolvable defect causing the oil to burn at an accelerated rate. It is a dangerous safety issue for anyone driving a 2018 Jeep Compass. The vehicle requires synthetic oil which would normally give you 5,000 drivable miles or 5 months before having to get an oil change. After only 2,000 miles, while driving my Jeep Compass, it shut off without any warning. Luckily, there was no traffic on the road because the only thing I was able to do was coast to the shoulder and brake. Only when the engine shut down did a low oil pressure light come on. I never would have bought this vehicle if I knew that the car would shut down with no warning. Absolutely zero warning. . . No oil warning light, no message, no symbol, nothing. This happened again last week, just shy of 3 months after my last oil change. I immediately took it to the dealership and was told that after they change the oil (again), I will have to drive the vehicle, despite the safety issues, for another 1,000 miles so they can conduct an oil consumption test. After that, they will need to do a bore test to see if there is scoring in the cylinders. I was told that I will most likely need a new engine. I then researched this issue and was appalled at the sheer number of people this is happening to and despite the complaints, Chrysler has not issued a recall. In fact, they are still selling this car to people even with a serious design flaw. There should be an immediate recall of all 2018 Jeep Compasses before someone dies, if someone hasn't already. I don't want to be a statistic. I am lucky in that both of the times my Jeep shut off, there was no traffic around me. I have read complaints by people who were driving with their children on highways when their cars just shut off. How terrifying. This is an extremely dangerous situation and should be addressed immediately by Chrysler.

Oil burning up way before oil change is due. Caused my car to stall in the middle of the road with my three month old infant in the back seat.

Jeep Compass is a safety hazard death trap; I cannot believe there is not a recall on it! it literally burns oil down to nothing & with no warning whatsoever the parking brake engages, the dashboard lights up and it just stops, while driving, on the road, in traffic! this has happened to me twice! I have changed the oil regularly (actually early) and after 3,000 miles it is empty?? are you serious? first time it happened the dealer conducted an "oil consumption" test, what a joke. Obviously it is over-consuming oil because it just seized up on me while driving & making a turn in front of other cars and the dipstick was clear, not one drop of oil left! made special trips to the dealer so they could top off the oil after 1,500 miles (their solution to this known problem) and it happened a second time after less than 3,000 miles, and once again while making a turn I was almost rear ended because the Jeep stopped in the middle of the road!!! the Jeep is currently at the dealer while they "figure out what is wrong" and how to handle it. I will tell you how to handle it, recall them before someone dies!!! if I could ditch Jeep/Chrysler right now I would, and as soon as my lease is up, I will be going back to gm cars!.

My Jeep has been at the dealer for a week while they figure out what is wrong with it. They said the oil is not pumping out. At my last oil change they said the Jeep is burning oil like crazy with no warning about low oil. It has 13,000 miles on it and also intermittently shuts off while driving,I have to pull over and the parking break engages. Then restart it, it also intermittently won't start at all. Then after a few hours it will start but runs really rough. Another issue is with what sounds like the suspension in the front right of the vehicle. It feels very unsafe to drive as I have two young children. The vehicle stopped in the middle of a freeway in traffic in new york and it was the scariest few moments of my life. Honestly I agree that this car is starting to feel like a death trap yet there are no recalls when I enter my VIN.

I bought my 2018 Jeep Compass in February 2019. In July 2019 while driving the car on the freeway with my 2 daughters the oil light came on and the car turned off in the middle of traffic. Thank god I was in traffic and I was able to restart the car. The oil light did not come back on and I was able to drive the car. A few days later this happened again while taking my daughters to visit family on the road. I was able to start the car again. The oil light did not come back on again. The next day I took my car to larson Dodge and Jeep dealer in puyallup, wa. I told them what was happening and I was told that it is a known problem that the Jeep Compass has a problem with oil evaporating and they would change the oil. The service person I talked to said his wife also has a Jeep Compass and he is trying to convince his wife to trade it in because to this problem. I am not sure how oil can just evaporate. At the time of the oil change I had driven about 3000 to 3500 miles since I bought the car. I have had to have my oil changed one other time around 3000 miles and will have to have it changed again soon. The last time the oil was very low again and it getting low again. I have to continuously check my oil on a weekly basis on an almost new car. Driving this car, that can just turn off at anytime due to a known oil consumption issue with the 2018 Jeep Compass not only puts me in danger but it puts my children in danger each time the car is driven. I do not have another mode of transportation.

I was driving my vehicle on a city street at 45 miles an hour when the engine turned off with no warning. The steering wheel locked up when the vehicle turned off and coasted the parking break engaged at 15 miles an hour forcing me to hard break and almost get rear ended with children in the vehicle. I had my vehicle towed to the dealership where it was purchased. They told me it was a safety feature for the Jeep for the engine to shut off when the oil is low. The dealership is claiming that it's with in Chrysler's specs that this engine (2. 4 multi-air 9 speed) can burn 1 quart of oil every thousand miles. This Jeep only has 3,045 mile on it. It is a serious safety issue for engines to shut off while the vehicle is in motion. This needs to be fixed it can cause serious harm and possible death in a collision. Both of the Jeep dealership and Chrysler refused to remedy the situation. They are forcing me to drive the vehicle for an oil consumption test regardless of the safety issues.

Jeep Compass 2018 mileage 5188 - on Friday, June 21, 2019 I was just leaving my home to go to work at 7:45 am and I was about 1. 5 miles from my home when my car just ceased on a major roadway and the dashboard said oil pressure low. I had other cars behind me and was very lucky no one had hit me from behind and I did not get seriously hurt. I immediately called dealer healy Chrysler Jeep where I bought my car and spoke to a service manager named jeff roscino and he told me that I should take the car to the nearest dealer to me and have my oil changed. He told me that this car's motor was intrinsically designed to burn this amount of oil. I had brought the car to yonkers Chrysler Jeep which was nearest dealer to me and they did an oil change - synthetic oil put 6 quarts of oil in car - the service advisor said there was a very little amount of oil in car. This car is a brand new car and should not be burning oil it has 5,188 miles on it - there is a serious design flaw in engine and also a very serious safety issue. I do not feel safe driving this car and something needs to be done about these issues before me or someone else gets hurt. Selling a car to people with a serious design flaw in the engine is a very serious issue. I have read online that several people had had the same thing happened to them had very low mileage and car ceases and dashboard says low oil pressure. There was very little oil in there car as well. I called Jeep headquarter on Saturday, June 22, 2019 and spoke to representative and she gave me a case number and told me someone would be calling me back on Monday, June 24,2019. It can.

Tl-the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle's engine stopped running without any warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to work. The vehicle was taken to the dealer suburban Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of farmington hills 38123 w 10 mile rd, farmington hills, mi 48335 (248) 476-7900. They discovered no oil on the dipstick and did an oil change, they said check back after 1000 miles. Yesterday the vehicle made a right hand turn and the check engine light came on. The engine went into limp mode with a maximum speed reduced to 35 mph . This happened without any warning. The contact discovered no oil on the dipstick again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer milosch's palace Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 3800 s lapeer rd, lake orion, mi 48359 (248) 393-2222. The contact explained the issue and the dealer acknowledged the type of engine being 2. 4 liters. They said the engine consumes oil and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer said they required the contact to do an oil change every 1,000 miles up to 4,000 miles. If the issue continues then they would replace the engine. The first dealer knew about this issue as well but did not notify the contact. The manufacturer was called and gave the contact a case number and promised a callback. The VIN tool showed no recalls for this issue with the 2. 4 liter engine with the large oil consumption. The contact was concerned that they were not informed by the manufacturer and dealer and thinks there should be an immediate recall for this issue. The failure mileage was 26,459.

I was driving to work one morning and made it about 1 mile from home before my car turned off and the emergency brake engaged. I had owned my vehicle for about 4 months at this point, and the engine oil pressure light engaged. I had around 3,000 miles at this point. I started my vehicle and made it another 1/2 mile before the car turned off and brake engaged again. Started the car and made it the 10 miles that I have to drive to work. The same thing happened for the next 3 days. Luckily I was not on a highway; this could have been very dangerous! after the 3rd day of this happening, I went online to research. Apparently the newer Jeep engine drinks oil. At that point, my husband had to add 3 quarts of oil! after only 3,000 miles! I called Chrysler the next day and they told me to do an oil consumption test. When I talked to the service area at the Jeep dealership they told me that 95% of the vehicles on their lot have this particular engine that drinks oil. I asked if there was going to be a recall and they said they hadn't heard that. I asked the woman who is managing my claim at Chrysler if they can put the old motor in my vehicle, but she said I need to go through the consumption test before determining any solutions. From what I"ve been reading, Jeep seems to be doing nothing about this. Other Jeep Compass drivers describe their near accidents because their vehicle stopped on a highway. I feel that this issue causes a huge safety risk. No one at the dealership where I bought my vehicle mentioned this issue; I would not have purchased the vehicle if I knew that it literally shuts down. I mentioned it to my salesman and he said he was unaware. I found it hard to believe that Jeep is not recognizing this issue.

While driving down the freeway at about 65 miles per hour, without warning this Jeep stalls, putting my wife in a potentially fatal or injurious accident situation. Dealership said they know and accept as normal this brand new car burning a quart of oil every 2000 miles and that if the car gets low on oil it will quit running, but they never tell the owner of the car, they only say come back in 5000 miles for next oil change, meanwhile the car starts stalling at 3-4000 miles.

The engine burns oil at an extremely fast rate. Every 3,000 miles there is no oil left in the car and the car will stall out while driving with no warning. It is an extreme safety hazard and somebody is going to get killed if this happens at the wrong time.

Driving on the expressway and the vehicle just stalled. Almost was involved in an accident trying to get to the side of the road. After several minutes vehicle started again. Called dealership and was advised to check the oil as this vehicle uses oil. Vehicle has 5612 miles on it. Oil was added and then advised I needed to bring in for oil consumption test. Only thing I was advised was that must bring in vehicle for next 2000 miles then again 2000 miles more. So at this time, I am driving a vehicle that stalls and not given a reason and is a safety issue for myself and passengers. This is a safety issue for myself, and any one else that is on the road with me when vehicle just decides to stall without warning.

Vehicle stalls and cuts off while driving and steering wheel locked up without warning. No check engine lights on and no explanation. After several times it was found that the engine was completely out of oil. Oil consumption test resulted in an engine replacment from scratching on inside cylinder walls. New engine 11-2017. New engine is starting to do the same thing and is burning oil. Car will shut off.

Engine burning way more oil than it should, the vehicle then will seize and shut down. This can be at any point while driving and gives no warning as to when it will happen. Jeep will not take any responsibility about this hazardous issue in their engines you shouldn't have to check your oil all the time to make sure it won't happen again. The dealership will have you come in for a consumption test and even putting a claim into Jeep corporate, they will not acknowledge how bad of a problem that is. Their needs to be a recall or fix soon or their will be lawsuits unfortunately when something happens.

At 4,000 miles, stalled three times, three days in a row. Took it in & they said the engine is burning off oil too quickly. No lights came on, just kept stalling.

Over the past week, I have had about 10 instances where my new (6 month old - ~5k mile) Jeep Compass died in the middle of driving. I was unable to accelerate, move, or anything. The only action I could do was to brake. During a handful of these instances, I was in a parking garage, gas station or on a side street where I was able to safely pull over and figure out how to resolve the issue. The other times, I was driving to/from work in the city of boston. These events were extremely terrifying and there was nothing I could have done without warning to prevent being stuck immobile in these intersections. When this happens, I have to put the car in park, remove the parking brake (which automatically turns on while driving), then shut off the car, then turn on the car again (where the engine turns over a few times first), then it's "good" to drive again. I took the car to my Jeep dealer (where I purchased the vehicle) to have the issue inspected/oil changed. As a result, they concluded that the engine on my Jeep has an unresolvable issue from the manufacturer where the engine burns oil more than advertised, unlike the 2016 version of this vehicle. They confirm that no message or engine light code appeared, and the only way to prevent this would be to check the oil constantly. They showed a print out from their system that stated my car has 5 quarts of oil, and each 1 quart of oil should last ~5k miles. Therefore, the oil should not be low enough to stall an engine @ 6 months/5k miles. This is absolutely not acceptable in a new vehicle. I have no indication when a problem exists. If I received some sort of warning/dashlight (really anything), I would know the car is not safe to drive until an issue is addressed. However, this does not happen, so I have to manually check the oil when I have no expertise in doing so in order to identify the issue.

Car is burning through oil too fast. It has stalled on me (without warning) 5 or 6 times in the past 8 months due to low oil. Took to dealer twice and was told to just get an oil change-they refuse to check anything else and that this is typical of the Compass. I should not have to spend the money to get frequent oil changes on a car using synthetic oil. I do not feel safe driving in a vehicle that could shut off at anytime without warning. This happened at 8100 miles.

4800 miles made month follow up over next week tried to turn off stop/start feature to see what happened for next 6 months mpg. . I have been told it is a coincidence not the issue but my car started shutting off 2/3 into turn, going up a slight incline, couple times slowing down for traffic light, but not at a stop and didn't want to restart. Day of car follow up 3 times turning right it dies and low oil pressure flicked on for about a second. Was told needed a new engine then today told Chrysler engineers said no its something with new car and solvent causing oil issue it was too low but not leaking out/ I'm told they will check oil consumption every 1000 miles and stand by product, local dealer said come back at 500 miles. What if it dies in heavy traffic or on highway? traded an oil burning Audi for Jeep it can't be good for the engine but now I'm faced with new car and worried it will die causing me to end up a statistic. Why didn't light come on earlier and why only a second to warn when the car was already shut down when it warned me? some recalls were made why isn't mine or others I'm reading about?.

While driving the Jeep Compassm with less than 5k miles, the car shut off while I was going about 35 mph without warning and locked the steering and everything. I took it to the Jeep dealer and without hesitation, they knew that it needed a brand new engine because the car "should not be burning oil this quickly. " they made it seem as though this occurs extremely frequently and I have read several forums about people having the same issue just by looking up "Jeep Compass burning oil. " this is an extremely hazardous situation and should be addressed immediately.

I leased a 2018 Jeep Compass limited 4x4 - was driving went to onto a side street from a busy main street , my Jeep stalled and the low oil pressure light came on for a split second , as I costed off to the side of the road - my vehicle would not restart right away - it took a minute to restart - the vehicle is only 6 months old and only has 5095 mile on it - I took it to the dealership and the service guy stated that the engine is known for" burning oil " or using more than usual and there would need to be a case started on this to see if the vehicle will be repaired . This is not acceptable to me this is a brand new car - there should not be any issues . The company should stand behind the customer - not make them take the product back and fourth 3 or 4 times before they will do anything.

Tl-the contact mother owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled as a unknown warning light appeared. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact was concerned of an excessive oil consumption. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 5000. Lj.

Purchased vehicle in November 2018, within 3 months it had burned all oil with only 4k miles usage. After an oil change, all oil was burned again within 3 weeks. In may took it for another oil change, once again dangerously low. Within 2 months (8k miles) received multiple oil pressure alerts and contacted dealership to start oil consumption tests. Dealership just changed oil and told me to come back in 1000 miles. Currently only 3 weeks later and continuing to receive new oil pressure alerts and upon checking oil levels, it's burned 3 qts and is dangerously low again. Dealership refuses to do anything other than top off fluids, while using my free oil changes with my Jeep wave program to change oil/ top off fluids. Current mileage 8863k .

The vehicle burns through oil very fast. The day before my last oil change the car shut off in the middle of the road after a message popped up saying pull over. I was on a curve on a dirt road going slow and didn't even have enough time to pull over. When trying to restart the car and all kind of alerts flash. Finally the car started, the next day the oil was changed at the dealer, they don't check the level before they change the oil they say. Their fix, dielectric grease on the door. Now at the exact mileage the next oil change is due, we oil checked before going to the dealer and it is so low it barely showed on the dip stick. A car with 22k miles should not run out of oil.

My daughter purchased a brand new 2017 Jeep Compass from papas Dodge in new britain, CT. The stop/start feature on this vehicle intermittently fails. When this occurs the vehicle is in motion and the engine stalls causing loss of steering and brakes. The dealer apparently can not emulate the problem but they do not drive it on a daily basis. My daughter is terrified to drive this car and was almost in an accident as a result. Also, this vehicle has excessive oil consumption. Have to add 1 1/2 quart between oil changes.

Bought brand new. With 4700 miles put on it, it had lost oil and stalled several times. My wife was driving. We took it straight to the dealership where we bought it. Come to find out, it burns oil at an accelerated rate. Many vehicles with this motor, 2. 4l multiair, are having this problem. Engines are having to be replaced, when they are still new. When running low on oil, the vehicle suddenly shuts down with no warning, lights, indicating its out of oil and that could be very dangerous. If on a highway or wherever there is heavy traffic. Definitely see a bad accident happening. A new car should not be burning oil at an excessive rate. Please look into this. Jeep/fca seem like nothing is being done about this. I called Jeep right before writing this, and the customer service rep hasn't heard about it. The dealership where I got it has replaced 15 of these motors already. Thankyou.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while on a hill with the engine idling on several occasions, the vehicle auto shut-off feature engaged and the vehicle shutdown however restarted after several minutes. The contact stated the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of oil. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken several times to hillview motors (5309 us-30 e, greensburg, PA 15601, (724) 858-4809) where a oil consumption test was performed and the contact was informed the vehicle performed as designed. Additionally, oil was added to vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted however no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 6,000.

Was driving and went to turn and the Jeep turned off with no warning. It took me a minute for it to start again. The next day I was turning onto the highway and the Jeep did the same thing. I'm lucky that there was an area for me to be able to coast into on the side off the road or I could have been in a serious accident. Had the Jeep towed to the closet dealership and they informed me there was no oil in the Jeep. I had 1k miles left to my next oil change and get my oil changed always before 5k miles. The dealership told me these Jeeps burn oil faster than they should and I should buy synthetic oil to carry in the Jeep and check my oil every couple of hundred miles. This should not be the solution, as I wouldn't have purchased the Jeep if they told me I had to carry oil around with me & check my oil every couple of hundred miles. This issue is dangerous, as there is no warning that your oil is low before the Jeep turns off. I travel at least 100 miles a day for work and I don't feel safe in this vehicle and shouldn't have to check my oil every other day.

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced excessive engine oil consumption, which caused the vehicle to stall on several occasions. The contact stated that there were no warning indicators illuminated when the oil was low. Best Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (520 colony pl, Plymouth, MA 02360) stated that the contact needed to change the oil every three weeks. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10,000.

Engine is failing multiple oil consumption tests at dealership. When asked what the next step is for a resolution we are told it is only documented. The vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles.
