2018 Jeep Compass Body and structure Problems

“Multiple times I would try to start the vehicle and the battery would be dead. After jumping the car off it would operate without a problem. I took the car to a repair shop and had it checked but no problems were found. On 02/01/2021 the car again would not start. I had a mechanic jump the car off and I let it idle to build up the battery. After a few minutes there was a noise and then smoke started coming out from under the hood. Then fire!”

“Several days ago while on the expressway, my Jeep Compass would not brake at all. We were forced to pull off on the median left side until it stopped.. Two days ago, october 10th, when pulling into a parking lot, with brake depressed, the car lurched forward and hit a sign just missing a tree.

“I believed I had locked my doors on 2 occasions using my electronic key fob. The car beeped and lights flashed indicating that the doors were locked. Twice after thinking doors were locked I was robbed of approximately 55.00 hidden in my glove box and center console.

I have had to replace a tire with less that 10,000 miles on the vehicle. It has been back to the dealership 7 times for a total of 26 days, 1 time being towed. Also have had 4 trim pieces replaced. One piece is still on back order from 6 months ago. One piece is fine and the other 2 have already popped off. …”

“failing component: Transmission / Powertrain. The transmission is jerking aggressively when shifting into gear. yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. I currently have the vehicle in my possession. How was safety put at risk? The vehicle jerked violently into gear while accelerating from a stopped position at an intersection.
