What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. While the contact was driving approximately 45 MPH, another vehicle swerved towards the contact's lane. The contact depressed the brake pedal, but it failed to engage. As a result, the other vehicle crashed into the contact's vehicle. None of the air bags deployed. A white substance entered the interior of the vehicle when the crash occurred. A police report was filed. The contact sustained whiplash, upper and lower back pains, and shoulder and neck pains.
When driving 30 MPH my e-brake engaged by itself causing brake to lock up and jeep to turn off. Jeep mechanic cannot find code or anything wrong with it!
