1 Engine Noise problem of the 2018 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 01/02/2021

I started my car like normal and reversed and drove forward down street. I noticed the car kept making jolting motions. I came to a stop sign and as I began to take off and was in the roadway the parking brake engaged and the brake and gas pedals locked up and the car slowly came to a stop. I put the car in park and tried to disengage the parking brake. It turned off but the brake and gas pedals were still jammed. I turned the car off and let it sit for a minute and pressed the power button to try and restart the car. It started making a noise as if the battery was dead and shut back off. I let it sit for a bit longer and tried again. This time it did the same thing but eventually turned on. I then put the car in drive and proceeded to press on the gas to see if it would move forward. It did but happened again at the next intersection I had to stop at. Every time this would occur it would nudge forward just enough for me to be in the intersection and it would take a couple tries to get the car to restart in order to move. This problem continued and finally a light popped up that said "oil pressure low" so I checked the oil and it was just about empty. I had just had the oil the oil changed a couple weeks before so the oil should not have been anywhere near empty. I replaced the oil and the problem stopped. I have been making sure to check oil daily and replace as needed but now the car is jittery at times.

2 Engine Noise problem of the 2014 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 03/02/2020

My car was driving fine. I was going down a 45mph road and then the transmission meter needle rises and then drops to 0. My car engine shuts off completely. I try to turn it on but it makes a sound with no start. Eventually after about 5min it starts up again & I hit the gas peddle to only get shut down again and the check engine light finally comes on. This isnt the first time & I recently got it check by the dealership. They said it was fine but I know its not my gut is saying the problem is associated with the recall Jeep had down on this car back in 2014. There are articles all about it and I tried explaining to them but I guess cause its a lot of work and money no one wants to open the engine.

4 Engine Noise problem of the 2014 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 07/18/2017

Since I bought this car from the dealer, all the from tires making noises when I press the break to stop, I spoke with the dealer but he don't want to help me out. Also the engine light showing up since I got the car from the dealer, the electrical system too is not working perfectly and the ac system is not too good.
