2017 Jeep Compass Complaint Log

ON 1/12/18 MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START SO I CALLED FOR A TOW TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AUTO CENTER THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRE THAT WAS BURNT THAT CONNECTS TO THE STEERING. RECEIVED IT A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT START AFTER 5 HOURS OF WAITING ON A TOW IT STARTED UP AND I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN THEY CALLED THE MODULE WAS GOING OUT IT GOT REPLACED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN I KEPT PLAYING WITH THE IGNITION BACK AND FORTH TO SEE WOULD IT START NOTHING. AGAIN REQUESTED A TOW NONE CAME. BY THE TIME I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK I TRIED AGAIN IT STARTED I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOTHING WAS COMING UP ON THE MACHINE. I DROVE IT FOR A WEEK OR SO AND ON 2/6/18 THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UP AFTER I HAD JUST GOT OUT OF IT FROM RUNNING ERRANDS AND A FEW OCCASIONS I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTEN AND WAS HARD TO TURN. THOSE TIMES I WAS PARKED ON PARKED ON THE STREETS BUT ON FEB 6 I PARKED A FEW INCHES BY THE FIRE HYDRANT RAN INTO THE HOUSE TO TAKE THE GROCERIES AND COME OUT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START. ON ALL OCCASIONS IT WAS NOT ANY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND EVERYTHING WAS WORK EXCEPT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT START. *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND THE GEAR INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS FLICKERED AND FLASHED DURING THE FAILURE. ANTWERPEN CHRYSLER JEEP (6440 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, BALTIMORE, MD 21228, (410) 788-2973) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V301000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL IN HIS VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED EVERY TWO MONTHS. IN ADDITION, THE LOW OIL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GANLEY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 310 BROADWAY AVE, BEDFORD, OH 44146, (440) 232-2121) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING STARTING ISSUES WITH MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS SINCE DECEMBER 2017, IT IS NOW ALMOST MARCH 2018. I HAVE CALLED SO FAR 5 TOW TRUCKS AND EACH VISIT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PLEADED WITH THEM REGARDING MY SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT PURSUANT TO THEIR "POLICY" THEY RETURN ME MY CAR KEYS BACK. THEY WANT ME TO CONTINUE CALLING TOW TRUCKS UNTIL THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

ATTACHED PLEASE FIND MY WORK ORDERS AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE CALLED TOW TRUCKS. SINCE DECEMBER 31, 2017, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH CONTINUOUS STARTING ISSUES WITH MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS, I HAVE CALLED (5) TOW TRUCKS SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO RETURN MY CAR KEYS BACK TO ME. MY ONLY SOLUTION FOR NOW IS TO CONTINUE CALL TOW TRUCKS, MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE MAILED, RECORDED AND PROVEN EVIDENCE OF MY STARTING ISSUES, NOW IT IS ALMOST MARCH AND MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS STILL HAS STARTING ISSUES. TWO OUT OF THE SIX TOW TRUCK WORKERS INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE TOWED NEW JEEP COMPASS'S AND THE REASON FOR THE TOWING IS DUE TO STARTING ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALLS NEEDED FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I HAVE LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CALLED FCA, SPOKEN TO MANAGERS, SERVICE MANAGERS AND NOW THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND I HAVE GONE NOWHERE. MY FIRST ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS ON JANUARY 1, 2018, THEY TRIED TO JUMPSTART THE BATTERY NO SUCCESS, I WAITED UNTIL JANUARY 2, 2018 TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS A HOLIDAY, TOOK 4 HOURS FOR THEM TO ARRIVE. SINCE FEBRUARY 18, 2018, MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP "UNREPAIRED" THEY PLAN ON RETURNING ME MY VEHICLE THIS WEEK.

ISSUE RELATED TO RECALL T70 CONTINUES AFTER UPDATE AND TESTING. DASH WILL PROPERLY DIM IF THE CAR IS TURNED ON AT NIGHT. HOWEVER, IF THE CAR IS ON AND I OPEN MY DOOR, TEMPORARILY TURN ON CABIN LIGHTS, OR DRIVE TEMPORARILY IN BRIGHT ENVIRONMENT (EG. TUNNEL), MY DASH WILL BECOME BRIGHT AND STAY BRIGHT. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS VIOLATION OF FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS WITH RECALL T70 OR 17V-740

NOZZLE AT FUEL PUMP WAS STUCK INSIDE THE GAS CAP AND TANK. BOTH FUEL STATION STAFF & I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE GAS TANK BUT IT WOULD NOT COME OUT. WE HAD TO USE A PIECE OF METAL TO PRY OUT THE NOZZLE. THERE IS A METAL NOTCH ON THE GAS NOZZLE THAT ONCE INSERTED BECOMES LODGED ON THE INNER LIP OF THE GAS CAP AND YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK DESIGN AND COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF THE GAS NOZZLE CONTINUES TO PUMP GAS AND THE TANK IS FULL.

MY CAR IS HAVING THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED BY INVESTIGATION/RECALL 17V740000. HOWEVER, I AM NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. POTENTIALLY THE RECALL IS NOT INCLUDING ALL AFFECTED CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND THE ELECTRICITY AUTOMATICALLY RETURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, 32850 FORD RD, GARDEN CITY, MI 48135), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO JUST STALL OUT. RECOMMENDED 5000 OIL CHANGES BUT DEALERS WILL SAY 3000 AND TO CHECK OIL EVERY 2 DAYS BECAUSE IT MAY NEED 4-5 QTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS STARTED WITHIN 5 MONTHS OF DRIVING IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORP ARE AWARE OF ISSUES BUT NO FIX HAS BEEN DISCOVERED NOT DO THEY CARE. MY DAUGHTER AND HER 2 BABIES WERE ALMOST KILLED WHEN IT JUST STALLED EXITING A MAJOR FREEWAY AND AN 18 WHEELER RIGHT BEHIND HER...CASE MANAGER (3RD CASE SINCE 2017) AT FCA WAS 'OH, SO SCARY'. THIS IS A SERIOUS, DEADLY ISSUE AND DEALERS OMIT THINGS FROM THE SYSTEM, PERFORM THE CONSUMPTION TESTS IMPROPERLY OR DON'T RECORD THEM AT ALL SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL TOTALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE TURNING, EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL APPLY AND IT TAKES A BIT TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. SOMETIMES LIGHTS ON DASH WILL ALL FLASH ON OR SOMETIMES JUST THE OIL LIGHT (EVEN WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF AN OIL CHANGE).

PURCHASED FIRST DEFECTIVE VEHICLE ON 9-29-17, RECEIVED REPLACEMENT ON 10-7-17, DISCOVERED THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD NOT DIM AT NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN HOLDING THE CAR WAITING FOR A SOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER EVER SINCE. THEY WERE SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE MODULE ON 11-22-17 BUT ISSUED THE RECALL ON 11-21-17. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A REPAIR DATE ON A NEW VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR 2 MONTHS AND HAD AT HOME BUT FOR 12 DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20-25 MPH, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ERRONEOUSLY SELF ACTIVATED ABRUPTLY AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE INSTRUMENT GAUGES TO STOP OPERATING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PUTNAM JEEP/CHRYSLER IN BURLINGAME, CA WHO INDICATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE DUE TO A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE. THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE AND DID NOT WORK AS INTENDED WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PLACE FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE NOZZLE HAD TO BE RE-POSITIONED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ADDING FUEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT SINCE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER THAT WAS NO LONGER IN OPERATION, THEY COULD NO LONGER STAND BY THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,677.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS TRAIL HAWK BRAND NEW, MY PRODUCTION DATE IS APRIL 26, 2017. I HAVE HAD ENDLESS ISSUES W/ THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE OWNED OTHER JEEPS AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES. IT STARTED W/ MY RADIO MAKING THIS CRAZY INDESCRIBABLY LOUD SOUND ALONG W/ FREEZING THE SCREEN. TURNING OFF THE RADIO WOULD NOT STOP THE SOUND, NOT EVEN TURNING OFF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WOULD STOP THE SOUND. SERV DEPT COULD NEVER REPLICATE, I BROUGHT IT IN ONE TIME WHEN RADIO WAS ON A NON-EXISTENT PHONE CALL AND ACTING UP. THEY TOOK MY CAR AND TURNED IT OFF, NEXT DAY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE. I DEMANDED THAT THE GIRL WHO TOOK MY CAR IN AND SAW WHAT WAS GOING ON SPEAK WITH THE TECH TO EXPLAIN WHAT SHE SAW. THEY AGREED TO ORDER ME A NEW RADIO. ADDITIONALLY I BEGAN HAVING ISSUES W/ JEEP THROWING ON RANDOM DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS AND NOT STARTING. TCM PIN WAS SPREADING AND CAUSING INDICATORS B BATTERY CONTROLLING STOP/START TESTED BAD. THEY REPLACED. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED MY A BATTERY A DAY OR SO BEFORE. DAMAGE WIRES FOUND AT FUSE BOX (THEY BLAMED ME) I HAVE MADE ZERO MODS TO CAR OR EVEN LIFTED THE HOOD MYSELF. BCM REPLACED. I HAD ISSUE W/ ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN ROAD & PULLING EBRAKE BEFORE I'M DUE FOR OIL CHANGE. HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND THEY SAY IT'S FINE, THIS IS BECAUSE CHRYSLER MAKES UP THE CONSUMPTION STANDARD. SO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE "FINE." THIS IT TO PREVENT YOU FROM GETTING TO COMPRESSION TEST. I GO IN MANY TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. EVENTUALLY, I DEMAND WITH FCA THAT THEY ALLOW COMPRESSION TEST AND REPLACE MY ENGINE WHEN THEY DISCOVER IT'S DUE TO OIL CONSUMP. TECH REPORTS OIL LOW, SPRK PLUG CYL 3 IS OIL FOULED, COMPRESS. TEST DONE AIR IS FELT FROM OIL FILL, BORE SCOPE OF CYL 3 WALLS ARE SCORED AND HAVE OIL ON THEM. FCA APPROVES NEW ENGINE FOR ME. AFTER NEW ENG. I DRIVE 13 MI ENG IS OVER HEATING. T-STAT CLAMP REPLACED. DO NOT GIVE UP & DOCUMENT WELL!

DASH AND UCONNECT SCREEN WILL NOT PROPERLY DIM IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. MOST NOTABLY, IF YOU TURN ON THE CAR DURING THE DAY AND DRIVE INTO THE NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN ON, BUT THE DASH AND SCREEN WILL NOT DIM. IF YOU TURN ON THE CAR WHILE IT IS DARK OUT, DASH WILL PROPERLY DIM. THERE SEEM TO BE ADDITIONAL SCENARIOS THAT INTERFERE WITH DASH DIMMING, SUCH AS OPENING A DOOR WHILE CAR IS ON AND TURNING ON OVERHEAD LIGHTING. DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON ROAD AHEAD WHEN BRIGHT DASH AND SCREEN IS GLARING IN YOUR FACE.

OWNERS MANUAL SHOWS REVERSED POLARITY ON BATTERY TERMINALS IN THE JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE SECTION. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL (T46) OUT FOR THE CORRECTED MANUAL FOR VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH APRIL 28, 2017, MY CAR WAS BUILT ON APRIL 29, 2017 AND HAS THE INCORRECT MANUAL BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO PROVIDE A CORRECT ONE, SAYING I'M NOT PART OF THE RECALL.

THREE TIMES NOW THE AUTO/START STOP FEATURE HAS FAILED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WHEN LIFTING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HASN'T RESTARTED. ONCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WAITING TO TURN LEFT AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT TOOK 15 SECONDS OR SO BEFORE I COULD RESTART IT AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL BEING STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE A PROPER READING. THE GAUGE INDICATED THAT IT WAS EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK AND VICE VERSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER IT WAS TAKEN BACK AND FORTH TO MANHATTAN JEEP (629 W 54TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10019, 1-(877) 225-8709). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE AUTO OFF/ON IS TURNED OFF. ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY STARTED COMING ON BUT DID NOT AT FIRST. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND TRYING TO PULL OUT IT DIES AGAIN SOMETIMES LEAVING YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I GOT STRANDED FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHEN IT SHUT OFF. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND GET HOME WITH IT. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED BUT WHEN TURNING I CAN HEAR A "DING" LIKE A BELL. THERE WAS ALSO A LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHICH LOOKED LIKE A LIGHTENING BOLT. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT HAS ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE THE IDOL WAS SET A LITTLE TO LOW AS IT DOESN'T REALLY MOVE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. ALSO, WHEN THE ENGINE WENT OFF THE INSTRUMENT ON THE DASH SEEMED TO THINK THE CAR WAS STILL OPERATIONAL. IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF LIKE IF YOU CAME HOME AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.
