| Description of the problem | My 2019 jeep compass has had numerous safety concerns, especially related to the engine and the push-to-start feature. Most recently, i have been in (d) drive, both stationary (i. E at a red light) or in motion (i. E highway, main road, side street, rotary) and both on a city street and highway when the vehicle's dashboard alerts me to shift the car into the (p) park gear. I can feel the car start to decelerate when it send this message. First, i shift the car into the desired gear (p), then brake locks itself so that i am unable to use to push-to-start feature and place the car back into drive. This has happened to me 4x/more. I have had my car in the service center at the dealership twice for the issue and they are unable to find the actual problem. It seems to me that it is the engine/push-to-start feature. In 2017 i had a defective battery and the car acted very similar, so i am thinking it may be the battery again. I filed a claim/case with jeep today. I am awaiting proper documentation from the service center in terms of invoices. My life is at risk due to this huge safety issue. |
