All Vehicles with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) that are configured in a manner to illuminate the primary low beam or high beam headlamps, or a significant output of an LED source are a danger to other vehicles at night if they are too bright. Vehicles with the above characteristics put drivers at risk as the operator of that vehicle assumes they have their lights on due to the amount of light they can see, but the taillights are not illuminated in any fashion. There are no active or passive warnings to the operators that they have no lights on. They assume that because they can see, others can see them but that is not the case in most instances. The drivers themselves, in newer cars at least with digital information displays, are often seen with brightly illuminated dashboards hindering their own visibility because the car believes it is daylight, and has all internal brightness settings to max to ensure visibility. The easiest proposal for remediation is a mass recall and software update by the manufacturers to these vehicles where the DRL function is replaced by using a low output light on all directions, similar to parking lights (where the brake lights are in a dim setting similar to being on, and the front turn signals are in a dim setting) thus increasing daytime visibility still, while also having rear-facing safety for themselves and other drivers. This is of course, not limited to the 2022 Jeep Compass, but all brands, and a large percentage of vehicles form the last decade. More and more drivers are not familiar with their vehicles, and as automated settings for headlamp control advances, drivers are no longer familiar with the standardized symbols indicated the difference between parking lights, low beams, and fog lamps. See attached photos for 3 examples from three different manufacturers. I see several daily on my way to work in Boston, and numerous drivers flashing their highbeams at the unilluminated vehicle, in an attempt to alert them.

The interior displays, instrument panel, and touch screen are stuck in bright day mode. The dimmer switch in the dash will not respond or change the brightness but still turns the overhead lights on and off. At night this causes blinding conditions and a glare on the windows decreasing visibility. The issue is to be investigated by the dealer, there was a wait to get it checked. There are no warning lights and the vehicle may be inspected at any time.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the instrument panel was faulty and the contact was unable to see the fuel gauge, tire pressure monitoring system, battery, or temperature gauge. Additionally, the low-beam headlight was abnormally bright. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the instrument cluster was faulty; however, the contact was informed that a repair was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and declined to buy back the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

Forward collision sensor kept turning itself off, now my vehicle is telling me to service my headlights, 4WD, airbags and other sensors. Vehicle has also turned off while driving and deployed the AEB when driving. Have taken it to the dealership twice. Dealer contacted the manufacture which they were unable to determine the issue.

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

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.
