What owners wrote
The problem vehicle is a 2011 FWD jeep compass. On 5/31/11 within the first 10 (ten) miles of ownership the vehicle stalled out on me while stropped at a traffic light. I put the vehicle in park and was able to restart it without any difficulty. On 6/19/11 (while in motion), without any advance indication of a problem the vehicle totally lost power. I put it in neutral and was able to roll it out of traffic and into a turn lane.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was serviced, but the remedy failed.
