2018 Jeep COMPASS Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	Vehicle transmission would jerk or bump hard enough for seat belt tension system to jerk you into the seat. Would mostly happen at a constant 30 mph or lower such as a school zone. Although would also happen at higher speeds on acceleration such as on ramp or passing another vehicle. After a few weeks of this and after a touch screen safety update to keep the display from flashing full brightness at night, the vehicle was slowing down to turn into private entry of work (gate that requires rfid badge) and shut off completely in middle of the road without warning. Vehicles had to swerve out of the way to miss from hitting us at only 3500 miles on the vehicle. Lucky we were only doing around 20 miles an hour and had our blinker on. The tech that took 22 days to work on the motor of the vehicle and told us the motor turned it self off after the vehicle oil pressure dropped to 5 psi due to a plastic part in engine clogging. I asked why the low oil pressure light did not come on and he said it is not designed to come on until 3 psi and it will never show cause the engine is suppose to turn off first. This is a big safety issue you have a vehicle that can turn off without warning on low oil level or low oil psi. On nearly any other vehicle on the market if you have an 18 wheeler coming up behind you at high speed and going to hit you and you hear a ding and see you have low oil you can speed up and get to a safe distance to pull over or pull over right then and turn off the motor to keep from messing it up. Jeep has decided that their motor is worth more then the life of the people driving them. You should have a choice for when the vehicle turns itself off in order to be able to drive it safely and to be able to make informed choices. You have low battery alert low fuel alert to let you know when it make turn off and why but they designed it to turn off without alerts

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
