2018 Jeep Compass Steering Problems

I was sitting at a stop light when the start/stop system fault warning indicator light came on. My vehicle cut off unbeknownst to me. Was unable to drive once the light changed.

The contact's daughter owns a 2018 Jeep Compass Latitude. The contacts daughter stated while driving approximately 20 mph when the vehicle pulled to the right without warning, which resulted in hitting a parked vehicle. The air bags were deployed minus the rear driver-side air bag. The contacts daughter sustained some bruising on her legs, chest, and hands but did not seek medical treatment and a police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it was awaiting diagnosis. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Making a left turn to enter expressway my vehicle parking brake came on by itself stalled vehicle was able to finish the turn and pulled off to side of road. Week later today pulled up to red light parking brake came on vehicle stalled took a while to restart . I am fearful of getting into an accident.

Car stalls randomly if oil is low ... On highways, at intersections, while turning or at stop lights and stop signs. Problem started when vehicle only had 3000 miles.

Same issue 2x now and feel my life and others are jeopardized. While driving on a highway coming to a red light slowing down for the light to then turn green while pushing the gas the car stalled, shut down and emergency brake turned on, nothing would work. I could not disengage the emergency brake to even move the car off the lane of the highway and was nearly in a car accident.

The steering wheel in the jeep compass 2018 locks up causing the brakes to not work and as the driver I lost control of the vehicle because the steering didn't have full functionaliy. The vehicle stalls, and brakes don't work properly. There have been time where the car randomly shuts off completely in the middle of a highway after a sharp turn.

This happened three times over the past two weeks. I have been driving my car in heavy traffic and car will throw itself in emergency brake mode and engine will turn off. Loss of steering control is gone as well.

While driving my vehicle under normal operating conditions on a busy street the vehicle suddenly autonomously shut down almost causing a catastrophic multi car collision. Vehicle could not be restarted and needed to be towed to dealership for service. Still awaiting correct diagnosis from dealer.

Car engine shut off at highway speed car lost all power no acceleration / braking / steering this was the first time it happened. As it was happening

This situation started back in April 2022. The steering wheel, ABS, Slip Hill, and other electrical lights came on. April 30th I took my Jeep Compass into the dealership where they said the front right sensor was the cause.

I have a 2018 jeep compass latitude and on numerous occasions have had the car stall at red lights when shutting off from braking, when releasing my foot from the brake the car failed to accelerate with other vehicles behind me. In these instances I have had to put my car in park and then power it off and restart it as the quickest fix.

While driving my jeep compass, the engine will randomly shut down/stall. The last incident occurred while crossing railroad tracks. The engine shuts down due to low engine pressure as a safety feature to prevent damage to the engine (information from the dealership).

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep compass. The contact stated while his wife was approaching traffic, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted.

1) the jeep compass was traveling in motion on a farm to market road and stalled. It completely shut down. No steering, no braking.

Narrative: in august 2019, I was driving from my home toward the highway at approximately 35 MPH when my 2018 jeep compass lost power. I could not accelerate so I coasted to the side of the road and shifted into park.

I was driving 44mph headed to a red light with a 4 lane highway coming the other direction. The jeep shut off while I was going 44mph and I had no steering, no breaks, no power at all. I kept hitting restart and finally the engine kicked back on, I was able to get the car to the side of the road.

Steering wheel was making a popping noise when turning. While driving on the interstate a bolt and washer fell onto the floor landing right next to my foot. Took it immediately to the dealership and it was discovered that it was a steering column bolt that had fell out.

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.

Randomly high temperature warning light comes on dash which causes car to immediately shut off. After a complete stop you are able to restart car. All obvious cooling components fine. This happens often and random putting occupants in serious danger of collision. Has happened on highway and in middle of intersection making a turn. This false warning causing car shutdown happens 5-8 times a month.

About years ago I was driving my 2018 jeep compass, when all of a suden the lights on the dashboard went crazy blinking on and off and the radio too, then the engine turned off and the steering wheel was to hard, I took the car to the dealership to get it checked up. After a few days the dealership said there is nothing wrong with the car. But days later the car did the same thing again.

Since taking over ownership in 2020 of a 2018 SUV that currently has only 61,000 miles I've had electrical issues with the auto start/stop warning light coming on/off intermittently. I was told by that make and model dealership that that happens for several reasons and was of no large concern. I've had the 1 electrical recall 'reprogrammed', but then my car wouldn't start on Thanksgiving.

Dealer had to replace motor cause of oil usage and motor tapping. And know its worse. They even done something to my steering or something plus runs like crud

While driving down road a bolt fell out from under the steering column and dropped on my foot. When turning the steering wheel to the left. You can hear a popping noise and steering wheel lifts upward.

While driving the engine will shut off completely, I’m unable to press the gas pedal to accelerate the vehicle and have to coast my vehicle to a place in order to shut off the vehicle and start it in order to continue driving.

While driving 80 down the freeway with cruise control on, when cruise control was turned off, it then shut off my power steering and stability control

Stop at a stop sign. I went to proceed and the engine turned off. Took about 2-3 mins to get it to restart.

Issue is what seems to be with the front suspension and it's alignment. I'm pretty sure there's not anything broken, in fact I'm actually baffled unless it is a possible 'camber' issue/setting. More specific: negative camber, causing both tires to bald on the inside, evenly if that makes sense.

While driving this vehicle at 55 MPH on a parkway, the middle dashboard began randomly displaying 'service now' and 'service' needed messages for the hill-assist and auto-start features. It continued flashing other messages that I could not read because at the same time, my steering wheel completely locked up. It would not turn left or right.
