Jeep compass 2009, Car shuts off as soon as it is put into gear. Can someone point me in the right directions as to why it is doing this?

Thanks for answering. When the car starts it turns over fine, when put I. Gear the motor stops running, no clunking just stops. First time it happened I was driving down the road & it died.

This just happened to me while driving (the car was not stopped). Going through a roundabout and at the exit of the roundabout the car just shut off. The odds of another jeep compass behind me and stopping and pulling over and coming to my aid and telling me he had the same issue happen to him...... He said when it happened to me I hit the battery clamps with a hammer and it turned back on. He had a hammer in his car and repeated it to my car and voila car turned on. The amount of people having this issue is absurb and a Huge surprise that Chrysler had not done anything. From all the replies on here and numerous other places what the hell are they waiting for. I contacted 3 different dealerships and they claim they have never heard about this issue. We all know now to never trust this brand... Disgusting
