What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate and the transmission would not properly change gears. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer keene jeep located at 410 winchester st, keene, nh 03431 who replaced the engine but the failures continued to occur. Also, while driving 35 MPH with the cruise control activated, the cruise control system would not deactivate causing the driver to crash into a tree stump.
I just leased a brand new jeep compass. At about 178 miles, I filled up my gas tank for the first time. After leaving the gas station, my car stalled about .2 miles down the road while going about 10MPH. The message on the dash states to shift into park and then into the desired gear, but the engine would not turn over.from there, the engine would start and I could drive, but only for a few seconds before the engine shut down again and the steering wheel locked.
