ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
Potential Consequences:
I BOUGHT MY JEEP COMPASS IN FEBRUARY. LAST MONTH WHEN COMING HOME MY SERVICE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM AND SERVICE AUTO SHUT OFF SYSTEM LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. WHEN I GOT HOME I WAS LIKE THAT'S ODD AND CALLED THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IF I BROUGHT IT TO THEM. I GOT READY FOR WORK, WENT TO LEAVE AND MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS STUCK ON. I WAS FURIOUS AND CALLED THE DEALER AND SAID THEY NEEDED TO HAVE IT TOWED AND THEY REFUSED. MY MOM ENDING UP TAKING ME TO WORK, THEN THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHTS MYSTERIOUSLY WENT OFF. NOW YESTERDAY BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO A DEALER ON THURSDAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT & HOPEFULLY FIXED. I JUST HAVE READ A COUPLE COMPLAINTS SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN STUCK AT RED LIGHTS AND NEARLY HIT DUE TO SIMILAR ISSUES SO I MIGHT BE TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN.

I PURCHASED MY CAR ON JULY 22ND 2020. THE VERY FIRST DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPING. I THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT IT WAS THE AUTO OFF THAT TRIGGERED A LITTLE TOO EARLY. SINCE THEN IT HAPPENED TWICE AND MOST RECENTLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR GOING WEST FOR ME TOO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND START THE CAR AGAIN. ALSO, A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE TIGER SHARK ENGINE ISSUES POINTS OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS AFFECTING SO MANY VEHICLES. THERE'S ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS..

PURCHASED A 2020 COMPASS ON MAY 28TH, 2020 WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK IT SHUT DOWN OR STALLED COMPLETELY AT A STOP STREET, HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND HIT THE RESTART BUTTON. I WAS NOT SURE IF THIS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AUTO STOP/START SO I SWITCHED THIS FUNCTION OFF AND IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS IT DIED 2 MORE TIMES ONCE WHEN DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE NEXT TIME WHEN I WAS STARTING OFF AT A STREET LIGHT, THIS IS NOT NORMAL SO ON JUNE 26TH I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FILLED A CLAIM WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PHONED AND SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL. IN THE INTERIM I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE FROM 2018-2020 COMPASS AND CHEROKEE LATITUDE OWNERS, ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION, STALLING, DANGERS OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ETC. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT HAD 37 MILES I RETURNED IT IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH AND IT ONLY HAD 240 MILES AS WE HARDLY DROVE IT DUE TO LOCKDOWN AND WORKING FROM HOME. IF CHRYSLER/JEEP DOES NOT ACCEPT THE CAR BACK AND REFUND MY DEPOSIT I WILL HAVE A LEMON LAW LAWYER GET INVOLVED. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING THE CAR AND GET ANXIETY ATTACKS JUST THINKING ABOUT DRIVING THIS SUV AGAIN, I CANNOT HAVE IT STALL WHILE IN MOTION DUE TO THE DANGER IT POSES TO MY SAFETY AND OTHER DRIVERS SAFETY. PLEASE REVIEW THIS WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. WE WERE ALWAYS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS WHEN THESE HAPPENED BUT IT STALLED AND WE HAD TO RESTART IT EACH TIME EVEN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TRIED TO FIGURE IT OUT SAID IT STALLED WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT, THIS COMPASS IS FLAWED AND DANGEROUS IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE CHRYSLER/JEEP KNEW OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPASS SINCE 2018, THEY ARE PUTTING PROFITS OVER SAFETY AND ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN AND LIVES WILL BE LOST DUE TO THE STALLING ISSUES.
