2019 Jeep Compass Engine

High temperature coolant warning message appeared while car was parked and being turned on. This was followed by engine shutdown. The car had to be towed.

Driving at highway speeds today "high coolant temp" message appeared and vehicle lost power briefly, luckily not completely as I was in the far left lane with no shoulder to pull onto. I made my way to the right shoulder and realized my temp was just fine - just below 200 degrees - and vehicle operated normally the rest of the way to work. After giving it a google search and seeing all of the other complaints about this issue, I figured I better report my issue as well in an effort to get this looked into and resolved. Had my car completely shut off like so many of the other complaints I've seen, there would have been an interstate pile up with me at the bottom.

MAJOR ISSUE! THIS IS APPARENTLY KNOWN BY JEEP AS THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. YET IT IS HAPPENING TO ADDITIONAL MODELS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE ISSUED RECALL. 2019 JEEP COMPASS 2.4L. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 200 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY 10 DAYS AGO. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND RETURNED IT, WHICH WAS QUITE THE HEADACHE TO GET THE DEALER TO DO. I BASICALLY TRADED IT IN FOR A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SO TO AVOID THE 2.4L ENGINE. I AM OUT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY IN PAYING TAXES, FEES, REGISTRATION, TILE,ETC TWICE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN BOTH THE JEEP COMPASS AND THE JEEP CHEROKEE IN REGARDS TO THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. JEEP HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE CHEROKEE. THEY NEED TO DO THE SAME ON THE COMPASS. STAY AWAY FROM THE 2.4L 4 CYLINDER ENGINE AT ALL COSTS.
