This is a KL Cherokee forum. You may find more results at a forum dedicated to the Compass. Such as www.myjeepcompass.com

But from what you have mentioned you probably have a failing battery. Start stop is super sensitive to low voltage and a failing battery while it may start the vehicle for now is out of spec for what the start stop system needs. Most auto parts stores can load test a battery for free and advise you on its health.

And I thought only Grand Cherokee owners came here for assistance. Silly me, we'll help everyone, they only have to ask!

The funny part is, some of the issues are common ones.

Hello I have a 2018 jeep compass and it wouldn't start this Evening. Road side came and gave me a jump and apparently my battery is okay but now I have a Stop Start unavailable service system on my dash light up. Any ideas????

Replace the battery -- that's my idea. You needed a jump to get started; what makes you think the battery is "okay"? Don't wait for it to fail again. Preemptive replacements are much more convenient. As you can see from my sig, we have 2018 and 2019 Cherokees, and I've already had both batteries replaced.

After having some body work done, my car now says “Auto Start/stop not available”. Car is running fine. Dealership said I needed a battery as one of the cells was bad. Replaced the battery and still have the error message. Any ideas?

Update: Aux battery fixed it! I have seen so many message boards etc about this same problem so that is what worked for me.

Striker plate and location.

This bulletin applies to 2017-2019 Jeep Compass vehicles. The engine stop/start (ESS) may be inoperative. Customers may experience a MIL on. DTC P152F (engine hood switch 2/engine hood switch 1 correlation) may be set. The customer may also note that the ESS will turn off with a message displayed in the cluster and stay off while driving.

Using a scan tool with the appropriate diagnostic procedures available in Service Library/TechCONNECT, verify that all related systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs or symptoms other than the ESS issue are present, record and repair as needed before proceeding.

1.    Open and secure the hood.

2.    Using a trim stick or equivalent, remove the old striker plate from the hood and discard.

3.    Install a new striker plate by engaging the fastener into the hood.  The new striker plate has an installation position and a locked position. Do not compress the striker pin before installation. Failure to do so will lock the striker plate and it will have to be discarded.

4.    Once the new striker plate has been properly installed, push the striker pin into the striker body to engage the lock.

5.    Close the hood.

6.    Clear all DTCs that may have been set.

A new striker plate is available as P/N 68417561AA.

Why does the Start & Stop of the Jeep Compass not work?

Answer

If the Start & Stop system of the Jeep Compass does not work, it is very likely that the fuse of the relevant control unit has blown. To get the system back up and running, just replace the fuse.

What does it mean when your Jeep says stop

I believe the system monitors battery level, and if insufficient you'll get the message "unavailable". drive a bit battery gets full & start/stop becomes available.

What does it mean to service start

A vehicle start-stop system or stop-start system automatically shuts down and restarts the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
