When I fill up with gas, the car will shake and die, upon starting. Due to this, I no longer fill up the car - I merely put $20 in gas - at a time.
The auto start/stop feature frequently causes the car to stall when starting. Today (12/13/2022), the vehicle would not start for several minutes, which left me stuck in the morning rush hour, blocking a lane of traffic.
I have been told by my mechanics that there is an issue with my vehicle and its oil consumption. Due to the excessive oil burn, I have had to get my oil changes frequently and sooner than expected. My vehicle has suddenly turned off while driving and now has a warning that the "Stop/Start Unavailable Service Stop/Start System."
CAR BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL WHEN LIGHT COMES ON ITS TOO LIGHT THE OIL IS COMPLETELY EMPTY. CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO COME ON.
So I know there was a recall for this year make and model and engine type and even before I knew about this recall I noticed this jeep is burning oil like crazy I have to get an oil change sometimes under every 3,000 miles and its bad I take it to my oil change place they tell me it shouldnt be burning this much oil. I called Jeep to try to see if they could fix it and they are not acknowledging the issue even though there is a recall for this issue in the past they are not adding my VIN for some reason in the recall and my jeep is still under warranty. Please assist in getting my jeep compass added to this recall so they can remediate the safety issue. I will be driving sometimes on the highway and the cheap just stops on me because of this issue. I have two young children and it is very dangerous at times to drive like that. The Carfax can show how often I am taking my Jeep to an oil change so it is not that I am the issue and just not getting oil changes. This has been happening since i purchased the jeep.
