The vehicles emergency brake engages itself while the vehicle is in drive. I’ve reported this to my dealership, they say they’ve never heard of this issue. I’ve reported the issue twice. This is an obvious safety issue because the vehicle is randomly braking and coming to a complete stop while it is in drive. The brake signal comes on and there is no way to regain control of the vehicle unless you put the car in park and turn it off and on again. The emergency brake button also does not work during this time. This often happens when driving after a stop light. The vehicle begins to move and suddenly the brake engages itself, and the car stops this has almost gotten me rear ended on several occasions. I’m forced to throw on my hazards and rush to regain control of the vehicle . All the while holding up traffic, cars honking and trying to get past me. This issue was not confirmed to me by the dealer. They seem to act as if they haven’t heard of this issue. I’ve researched online and other Jeep brand owners are experiencing the same exact issue. My vehicle was purchased brand new and hadn’t been in any accidents before this problem began. It started the year I purchased and still happens till this day. I’ve tried to get to the bottom of the issue but I’ve been quoted $1000 to change both batteries without promise that this will resolve the issue. I don’t want to pay out of pocket for an indefinite resolution that the company should take care of because they sold the vehicle to me with this safety issue. I’ve looked for recalls that depict my exact issue for my make and model and I haven’t seen any. This needs to be investigated because many people bought their cars with this same safety hazard so why isn’t Jeep taking accountability!

I wasn’t having any issues with the backup camera not working that was the last recall on my Jeep Compass. The software fix to the radio, however, has made it so the radio mutes now when the Jeep is put in reverse. When this happens, I become so focused on the radio not playing that I am backing up without paying attention to the camera screen or what is behind me. I spent 25 years driving without a back camera and no accidents. I have spent 35 years driving with a radio when backing up and no accidents. I have been driving less than a year with the radio muting when the Jeep is put in reverse and I am seriously concerned that it is going to cause me to have a wreck. Please have Chrysler figure out a way to still allow the back camera to work without muting the radio in reverse.

I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with my 2022 Jeep Compass. I purchased my Jeep Feb 2023. In May 2024 my issues started and have not stopped or been able to be diagnosed by 2 different dealers after 4 times of them having my car. My check engine light started and then the non stop issues with the center screen and dashboard flashing on and off. The screens change showing all errors and warnings.c The radio shuts off whenever it wants. Now the car shuts off when it wants. First time I was at a stop sign, it turned off and would not go back on for almost 2 minutes. The 2nd time I was yielding and it shut down. I had to put the car in park and hit the ignition button a few times before it started. On 1 visit I was told that the mechanic did a computer update but I had to let him take it home that night. When I refused I was told to come get it and they didn't touch it. On the last visit which was 10 days I was told there is nothing wrong with my car. Jeep called me 2 days later and stated "maybe they would give me a small discount for a new one" As a loyal Jeep customer, I expect better service and prompt resolution of the significant safety issues.

I purchased a 2022 jeep Compass in April of 2024. In the past few weeks the jeep has had a reoccurring issue. Issue is when at a stop, message appears saying "Coolant Temperature to High", the Jeep will beep flash that message, coolant temp gauge will jump to the top then down to the bottom and the vehicle will shut its self off, and check engine light will be solid but the "coolant" message will go away. Along with this, the auto start/stop feature (when at a stop vehicle shuts its self off and electronics run of aux battery, then when brake peddle is released vehicle starts up and power is back on the main battery) has not been functioning, I assume this happened around the time off the first coolant message a few weeks back.
