2025 Jeep Compass problems

“Car was shaking violently and was steadily getting worse. Automatic light dimmer had malfunctioned resulting in several instances of being pulled over. Luckily never got a citation. Started chewing the rear tires off from the first 3k miles dealer never would address the problem. Had to voluntary surrender the vehicle cause we couldn’t pay for it and not have a driving vehicle”

“I bought my jeep brand new in 2025. I have had multiple occasions where my breaks lock up when on the highway or main roads. The collision detection settings are all "OFF" since my first experience of this happening. I have taken my vehile in the jeep facility a couple of times now and they tell me they do not see anything coming out bad on their end when checking the system. It is still occurring. And I am taking my car back in to get it looked at again. When this happens there are no chimes, signals or anything that tells me "something is in front of me". Also when this happens there won't be a car or anything in the roadway. I could be driving a clear road at 50-60mph and it feels as if I hit a brick wall for a moment then my car just continues. Jarring me forward. I am afraid if someone is ever behind me when this happens with myself and my family in this vehicle I could get rear ended and cause a horrible accident. I'm especially fearful when driving on the highway for this to happen when someone is behind me. At this point I want a new vehicle to let me feel safe again. This should not be happening especially when I have all sensors for this turned "OFF".”

“Several safety warning lights continue to appear while driving. Car slows down on its own at times. Media screen glitches as well. Dealer has worked on the car about 4-5 times. Currently, the car is with the dealer for a 3rd straight week and they claim to not have any loaners. Dealer has continuously stated that the sensor needs to be kept clean, but this is just a distraction. These cars are not safe on the road and should all be recalled as lemons. The manufacturer is using subpar systems and master technicians have been unable to completely fix the issue. These issues began to appear before car had 8k miles. This issue is frustrating and scary.”

“The problem is reoccurance in short periods of time. I had an alignment done at 14,000 miles, then at about 20,000 miles when the tires were replace. Now, the car has 34,000 miles and requires another alignment due to excessive tire wear on the inner portion of the tire. The car has only been driving under normal driving conditions for the area; 95% highway driving. There haven't been any impacts to anything which could cause the alignment to fail this horribly so frequently. This is the only car I have ever owned that has ever needed an alignment three times in a one year timeframe. Independent service centers reproduced the first two times. The first time the mechanic informed me that it was mechanically impossible to get the car within Jeep's aligment specifications without aftermarket parts. Aftermarket parts were installed to get the vehicle within Jeep's aligment specifications due to the tires being replaced. I can personally visually inspect the tires and confirm excessive wear on 80,000 mile tires that I bought in April of 2026. The car will be taken into a dealership this time. This issue can cause the car to walk across the lane, harder than normal…”

“See attached document for complaint.”

“The contact rented a 2025 Jeep Compass. While the contact’s husband was driving approximately 70 MPH, there was a burning odor and an abnormal sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road, and the contact and her husband observed whitish gray smoke that eventually turned black coming from the engine compartment. The hood was opened and immediately there were flames coming from the engine compartment. The contact and her husband removed personal belongings from the vehicle. During the failure, three sheriffs pulled up behind the burning vehicle. A Police report was filed. The Fire Department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.”
