Description of the problem | I purchased a a brand new jeep compass and 12 days later it went haywire. I was driving in my neighborhood at a speed of no more than 20-35mph. The engine light illuminated and mpg on speedometer read 99mph then skipped to11mph and i was practically at a stand still. I was able to capture video of this. The next day the engine light was off and i figured i'd take it in the following business day (monday). Well i didnt make it to monday. The very next day, sunday, the engine light illuminated again only this time then whiile driving on the highway. There was a message across the digital dash stating, "please pull to safety, vehicle will shut down soon". Then every light on the dash lit up and the speedometer began to show weird numbers. It looked like a christmas tree there were so many lights. That message was accurate because it certainly did. It shut down on the highway as i was attempting to pull to safety. I wasnt able to capture video as i was scared to death. I took the vehicle into the service department and was later told they couldnt recreate/reproduce the issue. So, after refusing to take it back home, they decided they'd have one of the technicians drive it home to see if would happen again. Needless to say 7 mos later they still have my car and now it just doesnt even start. |
