Owner report 11493177 · 2022-11-11 (November 11, 2022)
This vehicle has two dangerous issues: 1) It brakes unexpectedly and for no reason during drive. This has happened to me at least 3 times while driving on the freeway without any cars close in front or around me. Bells and whistles just go off all of a sudden and vehicle brakes for no legitimate reason, throwing me forward. 2) This vehicle stalls while driving. This has happened to me 6 times. Engine just falls dead while in drive. I have to put it in park and restart the engine. This could get me killed.

Owner report 11520455 · 2023-05-04 (May 4, 2023)
The dashboard light on my jeep compass is so dim during the daylight hours I am unable to read or see and of the tires gauge or the fuel tank display. If the uconnect warning of a low fuel wouldn't of shown up on my phone I could have ran out of gas and not know it. This isn't safe. I have taken the vehicle in several times and have been told the same thing. There is nothing wrong with it. Now I see during some research that others are having the same problem.
