2017 Jeep Compass Brakes Problems

“The brakes on the Compass are very sensitive. While driving or from a cold start, applying the brakes at slow speeds will cause the vehicle to lurch to an almost emergency stop. I own 4 vehicles and none of the other cars have brakes as touchy as these. My family refuses to drive the Compass because of the brake issue. The dealer tells me there is no recall or TSB on this issue.”

“I came down a hill in my neighborhood, street then became level and I came to stop sign, I stopped and my engine died and my emergency brake came on. I had to remove foot from brake, put back on brake, restart engine and then I could disengage emergency brake. Dealer is telling me this because it was low on oil. But I wasn't even due for a few hundred miles for an oil change.”

“The ess system activated when I stopped for a red light. When the light changed and I let go the break, the engine sputtered and the emergency break turned itself on, the wheel became very stiff and the breaks became very hard to press, cause me to roll forward when I tried stopping. The only way I could regain full control was to restart the car while I was in the middle of an intersection.”

“I was on hwy going speed limit and the car in front stopped really fast and I put on my brakes and the engine got more power like the gas paddle was stuck I could not stop I had to go down the shoulder about a mile before the truck would stop and I was pushing down on the brake the whole time”

“My car emergency brake light button has turned on all byitself while I am driving. The car stops and shuts off. Then I am in the middle of the road and I have to put my car in park, press the pull on p button to turn it off. This is a safety issue. A car behind can crash into me. This has happened 5 times since february, this morning was my 6 time. I do not feel safe in my car anymore, afraid of turning off while I am driving”
