Description of the problem	Buyers please be aware. Aesthetically this vehicle is awesome. However, it is highly concerning when a vehicle a little over a year old has massive system failures.. My issues with the jeep compass trailhawk is recently while driving the vehicle would automatically shut down in the midst of driving. All systems would be completely dead. When i press the button to start the car it would nod never start back up. What makes matters worse is that when the system is dead there is no power no lights and i am unable to even steer the vehicle off the road. Yesterday was the final straw for me . I almost lost my life on the highway when the car made a funny jerking sound and then all of a sudden it went dead in the middle of the road with other vehicle traveling at least 60 to 75 mph. I really thought i was going to die. I had to come out of the car instinctively i used the key fob to close the door and used the valet key to open the car and quickly went back in the vehicle to try to restart one the first try i was not successful. It took me 4 tries to finally get the vehicle started. This was again in the middle of the highway with my amber lights on. Eventually, when the vehicle started up again and i continued to drive home once again when i exited the highway and this time came to a complete stop the vehicle went dead again!! This time went i put it in park it started back up again but when i put it in drive to move off the vehicle lost power again and was barely moving . This issue needs to be addressed by the manufacturer as lives will be lost if similar situations are being reported as i have seen. Nice looking compact suv but i do not trust this vehicle anymore hence why i will be switching.
