Car will not start makes clicking noises. Have all power, lights, radio, air conditioning but wont crank. Took it to the dealership and said it might be the key fob so got a new one. Worked for about 2 months and is starting again. The auto start will start it but when I put the key on and put it in the on position it shuts down. If I let it sit for a moment it starts. Sometimes it doesnt happen for a week or two, sometimes a couple times a day. I dont want it cutting off on me while driving the busy roads I have to travel on.

I purchased my Jeep Compass new. Since I have had it, I have taken my 2018 Jeep Compass in for repair due to loss of oil several times. The loss of oil was first noticed before the first 2,000 miles on the car because of a ticking noise coming from the engine. This car has even stopped on me on while traveling out of town and the engine light comes on along with other lights. In this particular instance it did start back up eventually. When it did, the engine light stayed on the whole time. Recently, (11/16/19), while driving the whole car shuts down in the middle of the street and the emergency brakes lock up. The car will not budge. In this instance the car had to be towed to the dealership. There have been so many issues with this car that I do not feel safe driving it. These issues seem to be completely random and without warning.

Parked 2019 Jeep Compass in normal parking lot went inside for a few hours then heard popping noises from parking lot. Ran outside to see engine caught on fire and burst into flames via the engine compartment damaging the entire front half of the vehicle. After flames put out, there was a large hole in the hood of the car going down into the engine that damaged the windshield, bumper, engine, light, tires and doors. Other cars around mine were damaged as well as the fire spread. Was parked at hotel parking lot for a few hours before caught on fire.

On December 9, 2016 I rented a Jeep Compass and on that day I had a roll over accident. I was driving in the country. Very low traffic area. Before applying the brake, I was driving at a safe speed for the road conditions - fifteen to twenty mph on fresh snow and some packed snow over a paved road base. At about twenty to twenty five feet before a stop sign I began to apply the brake. The brake did nothing. There was clicking noises and the Compass seemed to accelerate. I continued to apply the brake as I rolled through the stop area for the stop sign. The paved road ended at the stop sign and turned into a dirt road base. At this point I turned the wheel as the momentum continued. I was hoping the dirt road base would provide grab for the turned front tires and steer the Compass to the direction of the dirt road. There was no grab and the Compass continued to drive across the dirt road for about another twenty feet as I continued to apply the brake. I had applied the brake for about forty-five feet when I see the ten foot drop ditch ahead of me. The Compass didn't slow, ever. It seemed to accelerate. It wouldn't be directed by steering it. I had no control over it. At this point I did all that I could think of to avoid an accident. I looked at the ditch and knew that the SUV and I would receive damage. The Compass rolled into the ditch. When the SUV finally stopped I was up side down. For me to best describe this Jeep Compass is that it was a "terminator". It had a mind of its own. Once I applied the brake, I had no control over it.
