Description of the problem | Jeep compass is a safety hazard death trap; i cannot believe there is not a recall on it! It literally burns oil down to nothing & with no warning whatsoever the parking brake engages, the dashboard lights up and it just stops, while driving, on the road, in traffic! This has happened to me twice! I have changed the oil regularly (actually early) and after 3,000 miles it is empty?? Are you serious? First time it happened the dealer conducted an "oil consumption" test, what a joke. Obviously it is over-consuming oil because it just seized up on me while driving & making a turn in front of other cars and the dipstick was clear, not one drop of oil left! Made special trips to the dealer so they could top off the oil after 1,500 miles (their solution to this known problem) and it happened a second time after less than 3,000 miles, and once again while making a turn i was almost rear ended because the jeep stopped in the middle of the road!!! The jeep is currently at the dealer while they "figure out what is wrong" and how to handle it. I will tell you how to handle it, recall them before someone dies!!! If i could ditch jeep/chrysler right now i would, and as soon as my lease is up, i will be going back to gm cars! |
