Driving the Jeep on the road and suddenly it turns off and steering wheel locks up, but before it happens, notice the vehicle jerks. This happen while driving on highway 73 going home from the grocery store. After I turn off the road, turn the key off and sitting there for a few minutes and turn the key, it will start and take me a few blocks and the same thing happens again. Have to push the gas pedal to stay on the road.
My brakes made a loud noise and I did replace them but in rain I hair loud noise again also when I turn my wheel to the left I hear a clunck noise at times I also took my car to get oil change and a complete look over my car and I was told my lower left arm control is bad I dont understand because every dealer and car service I spoke with said 2015 Jeep or any car shouldnt have problem with left control arm it is to new.
When driving at highway speeds going 60mph the vehicle jerks and the engine shuts off and stalls. Called in to my local service dealer and they advised me there is no recalls on my vehicle.
Heater stop working.
Heat not working it just keep blowing cold air it is an safety hazard cause my windshield is not defrosting and it's getting colder out hell its fall and I need to get this problem solved ASAP.
While the car is in motion and you start to press the gas pedal to accelerate it starts jolting and then slows down in mid traffic wherever you are while pressing on the gas. I got it looked at they said it was the throttle body, supposed it got fixed but I paid a lot of money and sometimes it still jolts. I realized that this was a bigger issue when my mom and my sister who each own a compass 2014 & 2015 and both of their vehicles have now produced the same exact problem all of us getting the same issue while almost being crashed in to on the highway and on a main road. Our cars are only 3-4 years old, I'm not sure why so much work is being done for the same situation in all the Jeep made vehicles. The throttle body is supposedly the issue in all three situations, maybe for whoever else owns one should know that they will soon get this problem if they havent. My car still had never been the same since getting it "fixed" by Jeep "professionals" at the dealership.
Rear tailgate glass exploded, sitting in garage over night.
I pulled to the side to allow an ambulance to pass after it did I began to accelerate so I could get back up to 50 mph speed limit, I had to break after being cut off. While my foot was on the gas to accelerate it began to deccelerate then the engined stalled I put my hazards pulled to the side. After restarting it I was able to drive home with my car in auto stick. When leaving a resturant that night I hadn't even made it out of the parking lot when the car began to stall and the breaks locked up. I had to restart my vehicle and drive home in auto stick. I didn't drive my vehicle again until I took it to the Jeep dealership 4/10/17 where they were unable to find any issues. 4/12/17� it stalled when I was entering the highway after being on the road for about 5-10 minutes� it began to function after I restarted it. 4/10/17 I had the air filter changed and the fuel system cleaned. After that I continued to drive it until 4/17/17 when� after being on the road for 5 minutes I began to merge onto the highway only to have my car do the same deceleration when trying to accelerate then stalling altogether. When trying to start my car it would only sputter I waited 15 minutes then was able to start it but only the cars systems would come on not the engine. I turned off my vehicle waited another 15 mins and it started I was able to drive it to my nearest carmax location they have had it for one day and have not been able to find any issues either.
Water leaking in through interior lights. My vehicle does not have a sunroof and water is dripping from the light assembly near the tailgate. After a rain showers in vancouver, wa I entered the back hatch of my car to store my work gear before I left work and there on the tire cover is a puddle of water. I looked up and the assembly as well as the surrounding headliner are soaked. While turning water comes out in a nice solid stream and lands on my clothes and other personal items. A little research shows this has been an issue with fca vehicles since 2007. This water leak causes intermittent electrical shorts.
The drivers side floor mat is hooked by one hook which causes the floor mat to slide around and potentially get jammed under the accelerator and is a safety hazard. It does not stay in place because of the physics of one hook rather than two. Other years models have two hooks.
Our vehicle is at 56,000 miles. It is a standard vehicle. The clutch wore out. So we got it fixed. It went 600 miles and wore out again.
There is a leak in the rear of the vehicle. I have taken this vehicle to dealership 6 different times to be fixed. It is sitting in body shop trying to get fixed again. I am very upset at the way this is being handled. I really would like to talk to someone about my issues on this vehicle.
I autostarted my car without the heat or anything on. After a few minutes I went outside to get in and as I walked up to my car the back windshield exploded out. There was glass everywhere. I immediately took it to my dealership and they have to send the claim in to Chrysler drectly before the windshield can be fixed. The car was never touched and the window just blew out!.
Hood release lever when getting out of car left foot catches on lever releasing hood. Lever protrudes from side panel. I have a bad left leg so I have to drag leg out of car. I can catch lever releasing hood without knowing it. Safety latch does prevent hood from opening up if I do not notice hood is open.
