On [XXX] I left the Safeway Gas station on [XXX] I came out the parking lot and made a right and stopped at the light. As soon as I stopped, my car cut off. I put my car and park and push the ignition. I press the ignition again to cut it on everything came on but the car would not start. I sat there for two hours before getting a tow at the stop light that changed colors several different times with my anxiety high because cars were honking, people were yelling at me because I was blocking traffic. I could not put my car into a different gear to even push it off to the side of the road. My car was towed to Sacramento Dodge Chrysler Jeep. Later that day, The representative called and told me that they don-??t know what is wrong with the car, he-??s never seen this happen before and that my car would qualify as a lemon. I-??ve placed a request for Jeep to buy back my car the first one was denied, the case manager resubmitted the request and I-??ve heard nothing after being told I would be called in 3-4 business days. I-??ve called them several times and I-??m not hearing anything back. Also, I was not aware of the recall on my car until I came in for the issue on this day. Nothing was sent to me to let me know there was an open recall on my car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving various speeds, the instrument cluster lights were extremely bright, causing a visual impairment while driving. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic test, and it was determined that the IPC display needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and suggested that the contact receive another diagnostic test from the dealer. The failure mileage was unknown.
Every week of every month since purchasing this car, the electrical system more specifically the Forward Crash Warning system which controls steering and brakes has failed. The system is continually turning off and it has been for repairs where they have replaced the sensors and cameras. No resolution has been made and it-??s been now sitting at the dealership since September 1. I-??m making payments on a car that can-??t be driven. Furthermore every loaner Compass I-??ve been given has had the exact same problem no sooner than driving off the lot. The bright light upon system failure is a distraction and the system not working right is a danger to life, limb and property.

I purchased my 2022 Jeep Compass on March 26, 2022 and at the time it was functioning correctly, but about 7 months in to owning my vehicle the infotainment screen and gauge clusters (center clusters) went so dim that I could not see those screen anymore during the daylight. I called my dealership to report the issue, but at the time they did not know anything about it, so I had to deal with it till I did my own research and figured out that there was a recall going on. I called back took it in and they documented it, and communicated that currently no fix is released. A few months pass and my life and other in the vehicle are at risk each time I drive my car as I am unable to read the screen or properly use my infotainment center for directions and such. My safety and safety of others is extremely important and currently at risk each time I drive my car. There were a few messages that came up when I first bought my car that stated something about my screen needing service so I took it back to the dealership the next day (the message came up same day I bought my car) and they said that it was find and that nothing needed to be done. I am reporting this because my Jeep is impacted with this defect and I am needing it fixed as it is extremely dangerous as well as I bought my car new and expect the basic amenities to work properly. I do have an open case directly with Jeep but they are extremely hard to get ahold of.

Instrumentation not bright enough during daylight. Per NHTSA campaign ID number 23v058000. Mine was not included in the recall. They say they can-??t repair Jeep engineering working on it. How did they fix the recall cars?
The car is supposed to turn off and on when making stops because of the eco mode. There are times where the car will turn off at the red lights and will not turn back on automatically. Other times the car will just completely shut off when coming to a stop. The engine is killed. A complete restart to the car has to happen in order to make it work again. This issue is not identified through the Jeep dealership. They asked to record it next time it happens because their computer isn-??t reading any issues to the

Middle cluster of dashboard is extremely dim and unresponsive to attempts in settings to alter/fix it. We have 2 additional 2022 Compass models in our family, and all three have this issue. We are submitting separate reports for each VIN.
Dash lights, hazard button, radio stuck in night mode. Fuel gauge, speedometer, engine temperature and check engine/ tire pressure gauge are not visible in daylight. Creates a hazard when unable to see viable information like a flat tire, engine overheating, or low on gas. Tried to get it fixed but was told jeep currently has not issued a solution to fix it.
The cluster display on my vehicle is dim too non visible in full sunlight, daylight operating conditions. Automatic display functions turned off and manual brightness adjusted full, yet the dim to non existent backlight does not change. I been told this is a problem and FCA engineers are looking at, but at what priority. It seems that more and more of these complaints are showing up. There needs to be a recall to fix.
Screens in vehicle have dimmed and are unable to brighten. It-??s impossible to see while driving during the day. I have run out of gas on the highway, and almost caused an accident. My vehicle also automatically breaks and sounds an alarm as if I have had a collision, and almost caused another accident from being rear ended. Thankfully, one of the issues has been resolved and the dealership is fixing it (although my VIN number was not included in the recall at this time). I-??ve developed a fear of driving on the highway now so be cautious of purchasing until all these issues have been resolved.
Backlighting in dash cluster not working and makes it very difficult to see my fuel gauge, and temperature gauge, cruise control, and other items shown in gauge cluster.
The display, where the speed and other pertinent information is displayed, is in dark or night mode. It is very if not impossible to see during daylight hours. It is very distracting not to be able to see the information that you should be able to this vehicle.
While driving down the radio, my infotainment system began flashing on and off, failing to properly load. This can cause a distraction in the vehicle, leading to an accident. The dealer stated could not duplicate.
Upon start up of my vehicle I noticed my center display for speed, etc had turned itself to Spanish, but my radio was still in English. My forward collision warning, Lane keep assist, auto emergency braking, and front collision avoidance had all turned themselves off, and my auto park brake had turned itself on. After contacting a dealer they stated they had several complaints and to just turn them back on/off. Having these safety features turn themselves off can provide a fall sense of safety and cause accidents.
