Every 3000 to 5000 miles the car jerks like the transmission is slipping, the coolant temperature warning sign comes on, and the car shuts off while driving. No warranty will fix the issue and it is very unsafe to have your car shut off while on the highway driving 70mph. This has happened several times. Jeep dealer will not fix

I purchased the vehicle on [XXX] from Mall Chevy in Cherry Hill NJ. From the first day, i was getting an intermittent A! warning for the vehicle start/stop function. The vehicle would feel like it is trying to turn off when not active. Finally on [XXX], it stayed on. The entire time i have been trying to get the dealership to fix it, they refused to look at it. The transmission keeps slipping, jerking forward and back, wants to take off at a stop. They refuse to acknowledge. I finally took it to Performance Dodge in Woodbury NJ, they determined it was a defective IBS( Intelligent battery sensor). Then a BCM issue was determined and 2 wires had insulation exposed, an OHMED was needed as well as HVAC and DTCM updates. It still needs ABS and TCM module work. The vehicle still feels like it wants to shut off, jerks while accelerating and makes a banging sound INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I did an oil change mid august and found bits of metal in the oil at 50,000 miles, Ive change the oil every 5000 miles. I haven't been rough with it and also every time I get on the highway or rev my engine up to 4000 rpm the transmission slips hard on the 4th gear usually. If I have it on FWD it slips as well. The Blind spot warning goes off randomly sometimes as well.

When AC is left in the on position and the vehicle is turned on there is an audible squeak noise that comes from the passenger side of the engine, this also occurs when the stop start system engages at stop lights and stop signs. This squeak sounds much like a belt slipping or a pulley tensioner needing to be lubercated. This issue occurs consistently regardless of ambient temps or car temps. This squeak also happens when the AC is running and you accelerate quickly from a dead stop, at around 3,000 rpms you can hear the squeak.

I've been having issues for a couple of weeks now and I thought it was my transmission slipping. Now I'm having my electronic throttle control system warning light showing and my car jumps and doesn't want to accelerate when I'm at stop lights or stop signs. It also jumps while I drive on the freeway. It has gotten drastically worse over time and I would like this issue looked into.

I bought a 2016 jeep compass brand new from the dealership. After only three years (72,500 miles), the transmission completely failed while I was driving on a major highway. The jeep, which is a manual 5 speed transmission, would not shift into any gears. It made horrendous grinding noises as the vehicle failed and failed to shift into gear. Prior to it completely dying, it was stalling out on me and slipping out of second gear while driving it. This is a safety concern, not to mention how disappointing that a car which is only three years old would have a transmission that completely failed on it. The jeep was well-maintained and garage kept. It was never driven anywhere except main roads and highways.
