Your advanced safety systems are malfunctioning regularly. Almost every time you drive on the highway or make turns, your dashboard displays multiple warnings: "Blind Spot Temporarily Unavailable," orange triangle warnings on your mirrors that won't clear, and a message that your automatic braking system needs servicing. This is happening on a nearly new vehicle with under 12,000 miles, which creates a safety concern since you rely on these systems while transporting your children. The issue likely requires diagnostic software updates or replacement of the blind spot and collision avoidance sensors.

Bought my vehicle new at 29 miles. At 4k miles my auto braking light would come in as off. Every 2k it would turn itself off, even though I want the feature on. Even though it says it's off there will be times the warning will alert me to brake for no reason and someone's brake for no reason. I've gone to the dealer multiple times and they wouldn't find a code or a reason why it was doing that, and brush it off like nothing. every 2k miles out would turn off. Now after hitting over 40k miles I started to experience it more often where it would tell me brake. Now something at 49k miles. When I'm on a slight hill or high incline when my vehicle turns off and tries to start it will roll back and not move forward even when I apply the gas like the engine is still off. When that happens the SERVICE HILL HOLDER, and then multiple other safety features have warnings for, SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, DRIVE MODE UNAVAILABLE, ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED, AUTO EMERGENCY BRAKING UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED, STOP/START UNAVAILABLE SERVICE START/STOP SYSTEM. I told the dealer that had my car for a month at 49k miles about the hill holder and what my vehicle did. No results and still have this issue. When you turn off the vehicle the service lights disappear and can't be read. This happens almost every day now. I replaced my AUX battery after it seems to happen when my vehicle is off and struggled to turn back on at times and it still does it. I'm afraid that I'm going to get into an accident when people see I took my foot off the brake and will get rear ended or if my vehicle is going to brake itself and cause an accident or the other safely issue fail. The stability control can be an issue and drive mode I can't turn off or on those features when those notifications pop up. What can happen, will it eventually do this on a freeway and cause a major accident or when I'm through an intersection..5 different dealers and have no answer... Help
The whole infotainment center. I was driving no one around me & the forward collision went off stopped dead red flashin lights on and beeping. I almost got rear ended. Took it to dealer they said they couldnt help because it didnt happen to them..it does it sporadicly...it happened again on the nys thruway.again lights etc.this time it said take to dealer on screen..too bad i didnt take a pic of screen. I went shopping, came from store car wouldnt open..i had to remote start it. No doors or trunk would open..i went into my garage, opened door and the alarm went off. I know you said there was no recall on this car but there was. I took to dealer near me and they said they fixed the problem...it was on the infotainment ctr.i am afraid to drive it because i dont want to be in a accident. I bought new in 22 has 6200 miles on it..this shd'nt be plz do something...before something awful happens...also i cant still make a phone call from car. This has been happening since the beginning of 2024...
Several incidents with the screen/safety features. Have had it in for service several times and it is either stated that it needed an update or nothing was found to be wrong. Two times the radio was replaced. I am into the third year of my lease and there are still intermittent problems -- one being that my backup camera alert did not go off and i ended up backing into a car that came out of no where. Also, have gone to back up and pedestrian warning did not work which could have been a real issue if I had not seen the pedestrian. I can get no assistance from Jeep which I have called several times. I personally do not feel that I should have to pay to have the damage repaired from the backup accident when it was caused by a failure from backup assistance. Have incurred many problems through out the entire time I have had the vehicle. Safety features will turn on and off sporadically on their own.
Over the past several months vehicle has been repaired four separate times by dealership and issue keeps recurring. Forward collision sensor, blind spot indicator, and active lane assistance intermittently malfunction creating unsafe driving situations that have almost caused several major accidents involving multiple vehicles. Examples of near misses of collisions include forward collision activating incorrectly when there aren't vehicles or objects in front of vehicle when turning through intersections and brakes are applied stopping vehicle from safely clearing intersection from oncoming traffic creating a potential collision from on coming traffic when unable to accelerate to avoid impact. Other times forward collision sensor has malfunctioned by activating during highway driving when it activated and applied brakes without reason causing vehicle to impede flow of traffic and abruptly stopping vehicle causing vehicles from behind to slam on their brakes and swerve into on comming traffic to prevent rear-end collision. Sensors randomly display on dash indicating malfunction and repair needed. During repair service at dealership they follow manufacturers recommendations and are unable to replicate malfunction during test drive so vehicle is returned. Within a week sensors intermittently continue to malfunction with no solution creating more potential traffic safety issues.
Ever since I got my car back in about June of 2022 my safety features randomly turn on and off. For example. My active lane management symbol pops up randomly and sometimes it takes days for it to go off. Also I will always have my front collision warning off symbol on. I don’t manually turn it on and off. The car does it itself. Then I will sometimes get a pop up on the dashboard that says auto high beams are disabled. Service required. Also the orange lights on the side mirrors will sometimes stay on permanently and they don’t work. Then lastly sometimes the volume of the car randomly goes out. I have tried to have this serviced but jeep refused. They made me take it to an auto body shop. The auto body shop thought it was a calibration issues of the safety sensors. So they tried a reset and realignment and that didn’t fix the issue. I feel like this issue is very unsafe because these safety features aren’t consistently on. They randomly go on and off. It will be nice if someone can help me with this concern. Thanks
The AEB and lane departure keeps turning off and saying needs service. As soon as you kill car and start it back up again it will allow you to turn the feature back on. It also turns off at times.
There is a known issue with multiple 2022 Jeep Compass trims and models that, after long periods of driving (about an hour), the volume for all components utilizing sound becomes barely audible even at max volume. This affects all warning systems including blind spot, lane departure, etc. Upon turning off the vehicle for long periods of time (a few hours) the volume will return, but the issue will occur again if driving for an hour plus with short stops. Jeep has acknowledged the concern for over a year on Jeep forums and dealers are not helpful regarding the issue. Jeep states there will be an update to the UConnect system controlling audio functions in Q4 2022. But Jeep has yet to release an update with 2 weeks left to go in the year despite knowing of the issue since end of 2021. I have additional concerns for safety as I have to disengage hands free audio during long drives due to the volume issue causing further distraction and complications on top of not having audio for any other integrated components (like gps, radio, etc.) In addition to the safety features.

Does not correct car from departing lane. Also intermittently turns automatic braking of. Intermittently brakes when no hazard. Loses sound for radio and gps on long trips.
This is how multiple times this has occurred and the second time I’m reporting this. I entered my vehicle and started the engine. I needed to use GPS to reach my destination, so I was sitting in park while getting everything the address inputted. For no apparent reason I start getting messages: AEB limited Functionality Service Required, I do not have the active lane management functionality either, Service Headlights, Service automatic window wipers etc. I eventually can get these settings to go away by manually turning them on but not this time.
This is the third time this has happened to me. The second time I took it to the dealership for inspection and was told they could not locate any issues. The first time it happened, I had started my vehicle, and it was running for around 3-4 minutes while I got my child settled in the backseat. By the time I made it back to the drivers seat, I heard noises alerting me to issues. Multiple lights showed up on the dash, and when I went into the menu it would tell me system failure, and service required. Prior to this, there weren't any indicators as to some sort of failure was going to happen. After a few days I was able to manually reset the notifications.
