“1.) I own 2024 Jeep Compass Latitude 4x4. Several occasions where rodents have climbed into engine eating away at all the wire components. First time totaling about $4000. No other closely parked cars have been affected since we live in apartment complex. 2.) The automatic emergency braking light keeps illuminating and has activated at least twice during traffic unprovoked and always says to clean all sensors. We have done that but the light still comes on when it wants to.”Owner report · Electrical System,Forward Collision Avoidance · Jan 2026

The vehicle was repaired for the same failure approximately three times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed.

“Vehicle randomly locks up while going down the highway as if I’ve hit something or the emergency parked has turned on. No codes present and when taken to the dealer they are not able to replicate the issue. This vehicle has only 41,000 miles! After searching forums and groups on social media, I have found MANY people experiencing the same issue. This vehicle needs to be recalled for safety concerns. Ask anyone that this has happened to and they will tell you that it is violent when it occurs. This type of thing is absolutely unacceptable and dangerous. Stellantis needs to issue a recall on these cars!”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Dec 2025
