Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing the persistent warning message "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon," indicating a recurring issue that requires effective resolution. These owners suggest that the warning may be linked to low voltage in the ESS system, potentially involving components such as the battery, alternator, or voltage regulator. Additionally, some have noted fluctuations in battery voltage on the dashboard gauge, which could contribute to the warning. In certain cases, the issue continued even after an alternator replacement, pointing to a faulty voltage regulator. This warning serves as a safety feature, alerting drivers to possible faults in the auxiliary battery that could lead to engine shutdown if not addressed promptly. Some drivers have also reported their vehicles becoming sluggish and shutting off while driving, necessitating intermittent restarts to regain normal operation. Despite normal voltage readings, issues like the "auto start stop not working" message alongside the warning suggest deeper electrical system problems. It is advisable for affected owners to seek a thorough diagnostic check of the ESS system and related components from a certified Jeep technician to effectively resolve these concerns.
