What owners wrote
On december 9, 2016 I rented a jeep compass and on that day I had a roll over accident. I was driving in the country. Very low traffic area. Before applying the brake, I was driving at a safe speed for the road conditions - fifteen to twenty MPH on fresh snow and some packed snow over a paved road base. At about twenty to twenty five feet before a stop sign I began to apply the brake. The brake did nothing. There was clicking noises and the compass seemed to accelerate.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep compass. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle accelerated on its own. All of the indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The brake pedal did not stop the vehicle. The contact had to place the vehicle in park in order to stop. The contact pulled over, turned off the vehicle, and notified the police. The police officer attempted to turn the ignition, but the vehicle would not start.
