2017 Jeep Compass UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Auto Start Stop feature stop working and caused my car to stall. I had to set my car to stop, take my foot of the break. Re started my car, all while traffic was going, in danger of getting rear ended.

Uconnect radio screen has severe delamination. This caused ghost presses on the screen. The ghost presses continuously make random phone calls including calls to emergency services. This poses a severe safety hazard as the operator has to pick their phone up to communicate with emergency personnel so law enforcement does not send a responding officer thinking there’s an emergency. It also poses a safety hazard for responding emergency personnel trying to respond to the false emergency notification.

Car shakes when on hill hadly

Known jeep problem- my screen is delaminating which is causing the radio stations to change, climate to turn on and off, phone calls to be made, etc. all whilst the vehicle is in motion, creating distractions.

Unknown A frame cracked in half on passenger side

My sun roof exploded while I was driving on the highway. It was closed and my cover was on, which stopped the glass from coming inside and hitting me or my 1 yr old son

Touch screen on radio/dash is delaminating causing ghost touches. The delamination has caused issues with AC/heating since it glitches and presses what it wants.

I have done some research and found others that say they got the radio relaced for free because it is a safety Hazzard. The radio chooses options on its own such as the climate options and you can't change it when it happens. I can't keep the SOS app on the radio because it randomly chooses it. I have to keep it turned off and there are some things you cannot use without the radio. It controls all of the driver assist options.

The uconnect system screen malfunctions and the screen turns black at times. The system can also make random loud noises while driving. The screen will also keep the backup camera on while you are in drive and cause a major distraction if you look at it. The uconnect screen also has delamination and has bubblin on the screen which is a common problem across many Jeep-Dodge-Ram-Chrysler models between the years of 2017-2019 with the research I have found. In my car it causes ghost movements and screen locking ehich can be incredibly dangerous and distracting.

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE ENGINE IN GEAR (DRIVE) THERE WILL BE A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IF YOU SHIFT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL IT WILL STOP. IT ONLY VIBRATES AT AN IDLE WHILE IN GEAR ONCE YOU START MOVING IT STOPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM JEEP COMPLETELY STOPS WITH NO WARNING DUE TO INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL FAILURE

START/STOP DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN STOPPED

WE'VE EXPERIENCED RANDOM STALLING AND EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. WE'VE BROUGHT TO DEALER UNDER THE WARRANTY - THEY INITIALLY CONFIRMED EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION BUT THEN PULLED BACK ON IT. THEY ARE 'UNABLE TO REPLICATE' THE RANDOM STALLING AND THEREFORE WON'T ADDRESS EVEN THOUGH IT'S A TREMENDOUS SAFETY RISK AS IT HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY. EMAILS AND SERVICE RECORDS CAN BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST. MOST RECENT STALL DATE PROVIDED BELOW.

2ND TIME I'VE GONE OUTSIDE OF MY HOME TO START MY CAR AND THE CAR DOES NOT START, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE... THEN I GOOGLE SEARCH IT AND SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF PPLS CAR JUST NOT STARTING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. NOTHING WAS LEFT ON IS MY CAR, JUST LIKE SO MANY OTHER PPL WHO'VE HAD AND REPORTED THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

A PEBBLE SMALLER THAN A PEA WENT THROUGH THE GRILL AND PUT A WHOLE IN THE AC /DEFROST COMPRESSOR WHICH ALSO HOUSES THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT COSTING OVER $ 600 TO REPLACE. VERY CHEAP MATERIAL TO BE PUNCTURED BY A TINY PEBBLE AND VERY POOR DESIGN TO LEAVE SUCH A FRAGILE PART UNPROTECTED.

I PURCHASED A 2017 JEEP COMPASS IN DECEMBER 2019, FROM A MAJOR NATIONWIDE RENTAL AGENCY, WITH A 36 MONTH WARRANTY. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 530AM, IN DARKNESS, AT 65 MPH IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION, IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY, WHEN THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE TO TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, BUT WITH DIFFICULTY BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING HAD STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE FULL REPAIR.

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT, THE COMPASS WENT INTO AUTO STOP. WHEN MY FOOT RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE CAR SHUTTERED, A LIGHT APPEARED AND IT APPEARED TO STALL. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO BRAKE, PARK THE VEHICLE, TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON (IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION). THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAYN THE VEHICLE DID NOT APPEAR AFFECTED, BUT A DIFFERENT LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING COLLISION WARNING WAS TURNED OFF. IT DID NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND DID NOT APPEAR TO POP BACK UP. LATER THAT SAME DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL GOING ABOUT 76 MPH IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED, AND APPEARED TO STALL. THE SAME LIGHT TURNED ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER, THEN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. PICTURES OF THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED.

CAR SHAKES AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED

MAY 23, 2019, MY HUSBAND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED OUR COMPASS ACCORDING TO THE POLICE IN THE TOWN. THE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 30MPG. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HUSBAND WAS TAKEN TO FINLEY HOSPITAL. THERE WERE INJURIES CONSISTING OF ROTATOR CUFF DAMAGE. I WILL BE LOOKING INTO A LAWSUIT. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE! THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, HE SAID HE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE AND STRUCK A TRAILER HOLDING A RIDING LAWNMOWER. IT WAS 12:16 PM.

ONCE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE CAR REMAINS IN THE PARK POSITION AND CAN NOT BE MOVED INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH MY DAUGHTERS IN THE MID DAY IN THE HEAT BECAUSE I CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT BUT CAN NOT TAKE A PICTURE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WILL ONLY SHOW MY HAND ON THE GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN A SCREEN SHOT OF THE VIDEO AND UPLOADED IT.

2017 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED HAS EXPERIENCED 5 EPISODES OF STALLING AFTER COMING TO A STOP. VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE AND EACH TIME THE AUTO STOP/START TURNS BACK ON, JUST AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND SHUTS OFF. THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK ON AND MOVED TO SAFETY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES ON BUSY ROADS CAUSING A LIFE SAFETY HAZARD. ON THE 4TH TIME THIS OCCURRED A MECHANIC STATED IT WAS DUE TO LOW OIL. AN OIL CHANGE WAS CONDUCTED AND A WEEK LATER THE 5TH STALLING EPISODE OCCURRED, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STATE ROAD INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. FORTUNATELY ANY INJURY/ACCIDENT HAS BEEN AVOIDED, HOWEVER THESE INCIDENTS COULD EASILY LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS EXTENSIVE SIMILAR REPORTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

TWICE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT A STOP SIGN. THE D ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE DASHBOARD FLASH AND IT SAYS PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THEN IT SAYS PRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH START. AFTER THE CAR RESTARTS AND YOU BEGIN TO DRIVE IT FLASHES LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED WE WERE DRIVING. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE FLASHED AND IT FELT KIND OF LIKE THE CAR WAS DRAGGING. WE HAD SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR STALLED OUT. THE D ON THE GEAR SHIFTER AND THE DASHBOARD FLASHED AND IT SAID PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN HOLD BRAKE AND PRESS START. THIS TIME WHEN I PRESSED THE START BUTTON IT SEEMED LIKE IT KEPT TRYING TO START THE CAR. I HAD TO PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN TO MAKE IT STOP MAKING THAT SOUND.

JEEP'S UCONNECT SYSTEM HAS, ON THREE OCCASIONS, NOT RECOGNIZED MY VOICE FOR CALLING AN EXISTING PHONE CONTACT. IN PLACE OF CANCELING, OR ASKING FOR A MANUAL SELECTION ON THE SCREEN, UCONNECT DEFAULTS TO CALLING 9-1-1 EMERGENCY SERVICES. THIS PLACES ME IN AN AWKWARD POSITION, TIES UP ESSENTIAL EMERGENCY SERVICE RESOURCES, AND IS EMBARRASSING. I HAVE EVEN CHANGED THE NAMES IN MY PHONE TO AVOID ANY SORT OF CONFUSION. SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017, THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES.

MY NEW CAR COMES WITH A FREE TRIAL PERIOD OF SIRIUSXM TRAVEL LINK. PART OF THIS FEATURE IS TRAVEL ALERTS WHICH APPEAR ON THE CENTER CONSOLE TOUCH SCREEN. THERE IS NO METHOD FOR DISABLING THESE ALERTS, AND DEPENDING UPON WHERE YOU ARE, YOU CAN RECEIVE MULTIPLE ALERTS PER HOUR. THESE CAN SOMETIMES BE FOR WEATHER OVER 200 MILES AWAY FROM YOUR CURRENT POSITION. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE IS TO PHYSICALLY REACH OVER AND TOUCH THE SCREEN. THIS FEATURE NEEDS TO HAVE A SETTING TO DISABLE. ON A RECENT TRIP DRIVING IN THE SNOW NEAR MULTIPLE WEATHER PATTERNS, I WAS REACHING FOR THE SCREEN EVERY 5 MINUTES BECAUSE IT BLOCKS THE MAP WHICH I NEEDED TO FOLLOW. IT'S LIKE MY CAR IS FORCING ME TO BE A DISTRACTED DRIVER. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE CONSIDERED A 'SAFETY FEATURE' BY SIRIUS XM?

SIRIUS TRAVEL LINK/UCONNECT SYSTEM INSTALLED IN FCA'S 8.4" NAV INFORTAINMENT SCREEN COMES WITH A 5 YEAR TRIAL OF SIRIUS TRAVEL LINK WHICH ACCESS THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALERT SYSTEM, AND AS A RESULT THE DRIVER IS BOMBARDED WITH NUMEROUS WEATHER ALERTS FOR THE REGION - THEY ARE VERY DISTRACTING POP-UP WINDOWS WHICH MUST BE MANUALLY DISMISSED, REQUIRING DRIVER TO LOOK AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND TAKE A HAND OFF THE WHEEL TO "X" OUT OF EACH ONE ON THE TOUCH SCREEN. THESE ALERTS POP UP MANY TIMES DURING A SINGLE SHORT TRIP DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER, SOMETIMES AS MANY AS 15 IN A SHORT 10 MINUTE DRIVE, AND INCLUDES COUNTIES OVER A HUNDRED MILES AWAY. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THEM IN THE RADIO. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RID OF THE SERVICE - WE TRIED CANCELLING OUR SIRIUS SUBSCRIPTION ENTIRELY BUT THE WEATHER ALERTS HAVE CONTINUED. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE THE RADIO HAS CAUSED US TO NOT SEE THINGS WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AT THE SCREEN TO TURN OFF THE ALERTS. THESE ALERTS ARE NUMEROUS, FREQUENT, AND HORRIBLY ANNOYING, AND VERY DISTRACTING. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY FOR THE USER TO DISABLE THESE NOTIFICATIONS.
