8/30/2022 Started the vehicle in the drive way foot still engaged on break and the vehicle accelerated forward with my foot on break and damaged my home and vehicle. 8/28/22 Emergency Break engaged on its own and we couldn-€™t move the vehicle it was turned off and restarted. 8/27/22 vehicle information screen was blank and black after starting the vehicle..this happened at least three times.
Brakes squeak and squeal when coming to a stop or slowing down from 2mph down to 0. the noise has gotten worse over time. I have taken the Jeep to two different dealerships with one finally changing the brake pads and rotors at 5K miles! issues cont. Was only told that a star case was opened and I was able to drive away in my squeaky vehicle. Issue not fixed and I'm fed up with Jeep! the vehicle had been in and out of the service dep. Numerous times. Must be a lemon.
While driving about 60mph with no vehicle in front of me the car started dinging and the word brake! came up on the dash - again, no vehicle in front of me. I pushed the brake and it went away - took it to the dealership and they said the front camera was defective and replaced it. About a week later while driving about 45mph- no one in front of me - the same thing happened only this time the car slammed the brakes on on it's own and I almost got rear ended. Took it to the dealership but they cant' diagnose what's happening because there's no codes.
I have had my 2020 Jeep Compass 4.5 months and it has stalled twice. Both times as I was approaching a light to stop. My life has been endangered both times as I did not realize what had happened nor do the people behind me. I only realized what was happening when I attempt to accelerate. Both times I was almost hit from behind. The first time at approx at 1624 miles and the second time at approx 1742 miles. There is no warning or direction from the vehicle, but while panicking in traffic I see that my emergency bake is on!!!!! suddenly and for no reason!! I have also have several problems since the first month with the auto stop-start. This function has never worked properly and shuts down all.the.time. I was told by the dealership it was my fault for not driving my vehicle enough. Not driving my vehicle enough during a global pandemic. I'm to blame. I do not feel safe in this car.
