2014 JEEP COMPASS Engine Problems

Car would turn on all lights in car while driving and shut off, recently the car will not start at all and is having engine issues.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle decelerated and, while releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to a stop, shift into park(P), and restart the vehicle to continue driving. The failure reoccurred and became a persistent failure, and occurred at various speeds or while the vehicle was idling. The check engine warning light was temporarily illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, and metal shavings were found inside the oil pan, which the engine failure. The engine was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact learned that the vehicle was previously included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V552000 (Engine) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired in 2018. The contact called another dealer, Baxter Auto Group (17225 Burt St, Omaha, NE 68118); but the vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to a third dealer, Woodhouse Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Bellevue (7713 S 19th Cir, Bellevue, NE 68147); who determined the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the engine was not replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The car broke down the very first day I got it! The alternator had to be changed I took it back to Auto connection where I got it from and they replaced it. Since then the car has been breaking down, I have had to pay for out of pocket for a new thermostat, another alternator, hoses, fuel pump, and I have only had the car a yr. Now it’s making a loud hissing noise after I just paid for brand new spark plugs and it’s not accelerating and ver 40/45 mph! Which is costing me more money to pay for a uber to work and everywhere I need to go while still making car payments! My insurance doesn’t handle these repairs. I need immediate help please!

Thermostat keeps going to hot or stops working and drops to cold. Replaced thermostat coolant sensor since that’s what the code popped up. Didn’t work it continues to out. Radiator cap is collecting engine oil and not coolant. Engine oil is getting into my radiator hose. I had just got my radiator and stuff replaced by the dealership. I only had it for 6 months and been putting a lot of money in it and I’m still having engine and thermostat and radiator problems. Also it keeps smoking when it already has coolant in it.

I was slowing to make a left turn and the engine began to sound like it was accelerating. A lightning bolt light, skid warning light and check engine light all came on. I needed to get it home, but the car wouldn’t go above 25mph. Googling says that it has a stuck throttle body. Have not attempted to fix yet.

The vehicle just shuts off while in gear and in motion. Very dangerous. Lights come on (engine light, break light…) for a brief second before it randomly shuts off. It seems like the computer goes out, because on re start, the clock reset to 12:00 and there are no check engine lights on. It has happened several times over the past few hundred miles. An Internet search will show similar problems for other Jeep owners with no resolution. Obviously a defect.

The first time the situation occurred we were out of town. Warning lights appeared. The car had sluggish acceleration, noisy, rough ride, hesitating, jerking type movements . We thought it was going to stop. The message appeared "Do not drive the vehicle." My husband took the Jeep to the dealer and they were supposed to have fixed it. He was told it was the throttle. We drove the Jeep and the problem stopped for a while. It occurred again on May 25, 2023 and we had to turn around and go back home and park the vehicle and we have not been able to drive it. I found the following information; 2014 Jeep Compass Among Chrysler Vehicles Recalled for Stall Risk. We have never received a letter about a recall. Warning lights came across the board.

Sudden loss of oil pressure, loud ticking at bottom pulley. Oil in the engine, oil pressure sensor on dashboard.

The Electronic Throttle Control light(steady) and the Electronic Stability Control Activation/Malfunction Indicator Lights came on. There are times the engine light comes on. The vehicle would not accelerate, jerking kind of movement, going 20 miles.

My car stalls while driving often. I’ve also experienced my car shutting off while driving a few times. It sometimes shows a red lightning bolt. I am very scared for my life and the lives of other drivers while I drive this vehicle because I never know if or when my car will stall in the middle of me driving at speeds above 50 miles per hour. The car will usually stall for about 10-15seconds and then power back on, but sometimes the car just shuts off and slows down so I have to pull over because it wont accelerate since the car just shut off. After pulling over, I wait bout 10 minutes and turn the car on and it’s fine. I took it to a mechanic multiple times and they can’t find the issue. They said they can only see what I’m talking about if the dash shows the check engine light but my check engine light is not on. This vehicle is not safe and I’m so afraid of the car shutting off mid driving. This started 2 years ago but the shut offs and stalls have been more frequent this year. Mechanics kept telling me it was probably spark plugs and we’ve changed those and the coils more than 6 times.

Was driving and the vehicle lost all power just as we were turning to cross a road. We would have made it easily if the power was not cut. The car would not accelerate even when the accelerator was pressed all the way down. We were lucky to avoid being hit. Turns out the throttle body failed. I was told this is a very common problem on Chrysler Jeep 2.0 and 2.4 models

I owned a 2014 Jeep Compass with 63,xxx miles on it. I bought the vehicle brand new. On (3) occasions so far, the engine stalled out immediately after filling the gas tank. It will restart and sputter for 10-15 seconds and then run just fine. On the latest incident, after leaving a gas station after filling up the gas tank, I went to pull out into heavy, busy traffic, the engine stalled out once again. Placing me in a very dangerous situation! Obviously! My research on Jeep forums and other car maintenance websites shows the problem is very likely caused by a bad/defective Rollover Valve. The rollover valve is located inside the gas tank. Apparently, the valve gets triggered off while refilling the gas tank when near full. Noted that the Check Engine Light did not common on. During my research on Jeep Forums and other related Jeep websites, I've noticed the engine stalling issue on many other Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriots.

1.Electrical: the touch screen, which is used for the radio & backup camera, is completely shot. One day in May, I was driving my car & the screen went from working to a fuzzy image & then to it going completely black. The radio stopped working as well. The lights around the screen (connected to the buttons) work but tend to flicker every now & then. This is a safety risk for myself & my family because I don’t have the extra support & awareness to backup with confidence or warnings. It hasn’t been looked at by anyone & there were no warnings prior to failure. It has been a consistent failure since then. 2. Engine: Jeep keeps overheating. Has been since April. It was inspected by a mechanic & also paid to have it “fixed” however the problem persists. It is a safety issue because my car could overheat & stop working & cause issues with other drivers. I also have a 5 yo & we have to drive around with the windows down & heat on no matter the weather. Sometimes we get home & her face is bright red. Sometimes the warning light comes on & the fluid is at the appropriate level. 3. Tire pressure in at least one of my tires is always low. I receive a warning light almost every time I drive. These are brand new tires. After I fill up the tire, it is only “fixed” approx 1 day before the light comes back on. It was checked by mechanic & he stated there were no issues he could find. This has been ongoing since December 2021. This is a safety issue because I could get a flat tire & crash into other vehicles or cause an accident. Jeep is available for inspection upon request for all issues.

Vehicle lost oil as a result needs new engine Driver states car shut off during operation would not start Lost oil Had oil change three weeks ago Attempted to put oil in it all ran out

While driving, car completely shuts off. All lights and signals will blink for a quick second, then shuts off. Keyhole will not turn to turn car on, no clicking sound that car is attempting to turn on, unable to turn on emergency lights, can't move to neutral or turn steering wheel, everything locks. Happened twice in the middle of the street. After a few mins (20 mins or more) car turns on again for a few mins before turning off again. Full gas, battery and transmission checked and still working. Vehicle was up to date with oil changes and recalls.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH and accelerating, the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate as needed. The contact pulled off the road and heard a high-pitched noise from the engine. The contact saw that the RPM gauge had moved into the red and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact turned the vehicle off and upon restarting the vehicle was able to drive at a normal speed however, the failure recurred. The contact drove the vehicle to her residence and had not taken the vehicle to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000.

MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAULT INDICATOR, STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE (WITH EXCLAMATION POINT) INDICATOR ARE ON WHEN ENGINE STARTS. WITHIN 15 SECONDS OF ME DRIVING, ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS BRIEFLY TURN OFF. THAT IS FOLLOWED BY A ~5 SECONDS OF MY CAR STALLING WITH THE STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR BLINKING. SHORTLY AFTER, ALL LIGHTS TURN BACK ON. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT I HAVE TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK. I AM WORRIED TO TAKE MY CAR OUTSIDE OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE AS OPPOSED TO SELF-INFLICTED. NOTE: I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE ISSUE REMAINS. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 75,000 MILES.

ON MARCH 4, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN WARM-UP PHASE AT HOME, IN IDLE, A SHARP SNAP WAS HEARD (LATER DISCOVERED WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY), THEN VEHICLE SET TWO CODES (P0171, P2173), AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO LIMP MODE (TRACTION CONTROL OFF, THROTTLE BODY REDUCED POWER, ABS FOR SLOWING VEHICLE IF BEING DRIVEN ABOVE SLOWER SPEEDS FOR LIMP MODE). WE WERE ON A SCHEDULE, SO VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY AND WE USED OUR OTHER VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT. BOTH CODES WERE RESEARCHED TO DETERMINE BEST REPAIR METHODS. SINCE THE P0171 WAS A REPEAT CODE, AND THE P2173 WAS AN UNFAMILIAR SAE CODE NOT NORMALLY USED ON MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES, A COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY OF THE INTAKE WAS WARRANTED. I AM MECHANICALLY COMPETENT DUE TO TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE AND KNOW MY OWN LIMITS OF COMPETENCY AND TOOLS FOR REPAIR. HERE ARE THE BASICS FOR REFERENCE OF WHAT WAS FOUND. 1. THE PCV VALVE (MULTIAIRE) HAD FAILED AT THE INTERNAL PINTLE, AND WAS ALLOWING CRANKCASE AIR/OIL TO ENTER THE INTAKE AT TOO HIGH A VOLUME. IT WAS REPLACED. THE MAP SENSOR SET THE P2173 CODE, THEN FAILED DUE TO OIL INTRUSION AND WAS REPLACED. THE RAPID SNAPPING OF THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER PRESSURE UNCALIBRATED THE INTERNAL THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS, AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER POSITION WAS REPLACED. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (NEWER DESIGN FOR THE 2.0L I4 WITHOUT THE FLAPPER CONTROLS JUST GUIDE VEINS FOR THE INTAKE AIR) MAIN GASKET HAD SHRUNK IN THE PLASTIC INTAKE SEAT CHANNEL AND WAS ALLOWING OUTSIDE AIR (P0171) TO SEEP PAST THE GASKET ON THE LOWER LIP OF THE GASKET, AND WAS ALSO NOT SEALING BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS (GASES WERE TRANSFERRING BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS). THE THROTTLE BODY GASKET WAS PRISTINE. DURING REPAIR, PRESSURE TESTED INTAKE FOR LEAKS, AND TUBES AND LINES FOR CRACKS. READING SAE CODE P2173 WAS DETERMINED THAT CODE AND SUBSEQUENT LIMP MODE WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD. IT WORKED.*DT CONSUMER STATED THE REASON FOR GASKET NOT SEALING, BLOW BY-GASES FROM ONE CYLINDER TO ANOTHER. CYLINDER HEAD WAS CHECK AND PLASTIC INTAKE FOR WARPING, THE

I HAVE A 2014 KEEP COMPASS WITH A 2.0L ENGINE AND FOR SOME TIME NOW IT HAS BEEN STALLING OUT REALLY BAD AND ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WANTING TO START BUT TODAY ON DECEMBER THE 9TH AT ABOUT 5:30PM OR SO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT A HIGH SPEED OF ABOUT 80MPH WHEN I HAD NOTICED MY CAR WAS TRYING TO GET KINDA HOT SO I TURNED MY HEATER ON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD DROP THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOWN ANY WHICH MIND YOU IT DID NOT BUT INSTEAD I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND ALSO ACCELERATION AS WELL AND WHEN I WOULD GIVE GAS IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT RISE MY RPMS TO EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL SO THE ONLY THING I KNEW TO DO WAS GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WHAT'S CONCERNING ME THOUGH IS THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT WITH A 2.4L ENGINE NOT THE 2.0L BUT WHEN I WAS READING THE RECALL FOR SAID ENGINE TYPE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS APPLIED TO WHAT MY CAR DID TODAY SO I'M WONDERING IF THAT RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE 2.0L ENGINES AS WELL.

WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING BELT FELT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER CARS I HAD DRIVEN AND THAT IT WAS MORE UP TO DATE. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR HAD AN ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHILE DRIVING MONTHS AGO MY CAR LOST ALL CONTROL OF THROTTLE, ALL CONTROLS SHUT DOWN, AND I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GOT THE CAR CHECKED, IT APPEARED TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. HAD THE SENSOR COMPLETELY REPLACED, IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE REPLACEMENT, AND THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, ALL CONTROLS SHUT OFF, AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, CAUSING ME TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHARP CURVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE IGNITION TO OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP AND DROVE FINE. I ALSO HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WHEN ACCELERATING WHERE IT HAS A HARD TIME CHANGING GEARS, AND IT GIVES A SLIGHT JERKING IN THE THROTTLE WHERE IT WON'T CHANGE. THIS MORNING AFTER MY INCIDENT THE CAR HAS STARTED VIBRATING WHILE IN DRIVE AND IDLES AT 1000 RPM. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE VIBRATION STOPS, BUT IMMEDIATELY STARTS BACK ONCE I REMOVE IT OUT OF NEUTRAL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST COMPLETE POWER. LIGHTENING BOLT SYMBOL TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. EVENTUALLY REGAINED POWER, BUT CAR CONTINUED TO STUDDER GOING DOWN THE ROAD. AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS. DIAGNOSES: THROTTLE BODY FAULTY. 92,000 MILES. NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND NOW $700 PLUS DOWN DRAIN.

Mileage: 92,000

MY JEEP CONSTANTLY STALLS WHEN DRIVING IT. I CAN BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE ONCE IT TURNS GREEN AS SOON AS I START MOVING IT STALLS. IF I'M ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO SPEED UP TO PASS SOMEONE IT STALLS. I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS JEEP AFTER PURCHASING IT WITH 9,000+ MILES ON IT IN 2015. I WAS DRIVING IT ON THE NJ TURNPIKE WHEN IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING. MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR AND IT FRIGHTENED BOTH OF US AS ON COMING CARS WERE DODGING US. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUSE. THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE SAME HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS, THE BRAKES THE ROTORS ALL FOUR TIRES FUSES ALTERNATOR AND NOW A BRAKE SWITCH. THE JEEP STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD TO MAKE SURE IT'S STILL ACCELERATING SO THAT I DON'T HAVE A SCARE LIKE I DID THE TIMES WHEN THE FUSES BLEW. I'VE WRITTEN SEVERAL LETTERS TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE IN REGARDS TO HAVING SO MANY ISSUES AND BASICALLY I WAS TOLD THAT I DRIVE THE JEEP TOO MUCH. FIRST OF ALL I THOUGHT PEOPLE BOUGHT VEHICLES TO DRIVE THEM. IN ANY EVENT I WAS TOLD TO READ THE CONSUMER REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE AND REALIZED THE STALLING MAY NOT BE FROM THE FUSES AND WHATEVER MAKES THEM BLOW OUT. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE FUSES IN THE BEGINNING ONE OF THE MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL SAID TO ME A CAR IS A MACHINE AND SOMETIMES MACHINES DON'T OPERATE THE WAY THEY SHOULD. I PRETTY MUCH GAVE UP ON THAT PLACE AND JEEP AS A WHOLE. I PURCHASED A LEMON AND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE COULDN'T CARE ANY LESS.

Mileage: 68,000

THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL WOULD NOT ALLOW MY JEEP TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND AS SOON AS THE IT GOT UP TO 2500 RPM IT WOULD NOT SHIFT. I HAD TO LET OFF OF THE GAS AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT STARTED REVING ALL OF THE WAY UP TO 7000 RPM IN ORDER TO SHIFT. THE LIGHTING BOLT SYMBOL CAME ON DURING ALL OF THIS AND STAYED ON. I TRIED THEN TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND IT DID IT ONCE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STALLED COMPLETELY. THE JEEP WOULD GO AS LONG AS I DIDN'T GO PAST 2500 RPM. AS SOON AS I GOT SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ON THE SAME STREET. I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT AND IT ENDED UP COSTING AROUND 530 USD. NOW I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS BEFORE THE LAST TIME THE UNIT BROKE.

WHILE GETTING OFF OF PM SHIFT, AROUND 2330, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ONLY 3 MILES INTO DRIVING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MILES AN HOUR IN A 40MPH ZONE. THE LIGHTNING BOLT FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS FLASHING, THEN STOPPED, THEN MY CHECK ENGINE AND MY ANTI SKID(?) WAS LIT UP. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET, PUT IN PARK ONLY TO HAVE MY ENGINE IDLE AT 2K RPM. THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY PHONE AND A FRIEND WITH SOME CAR KNOWLEDGE. TOLD ME TO LEAVE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. TURNED ON AND ONCE I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME THAT TOOK ME 45MIN BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN 15. A DRIVE THAT USUALLY WOULD TAKE ME 15 MINUTES TOOK MUCH LONGER. GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT HIT 2X BY 18 WHEELERS COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS ONLY 27 DEGREES OUT (WITHOUT THE CHICAGO WIND CHILL)AND WOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT PROBABLY 30+ MINUTES FOR A TOW OR RIDE TO PICK ME UP HAD IT NOT RESTARTED. BEYOND LIVID THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND NOTHING BEING DONE. GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS FIX, RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AWESOME!

THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FROM THREE LANES OVER. THE DASH BOARD PROCEEDED TO LIGHT UP AND A STRANGE SMELL BEGAN TO COME THROUGH THE VEHICLE. MY ASSOCIATE AND I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WE QUICKLY GRABBED OUR BELONGS AND MOVED A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES AND REMAINED ON FIRE UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO EXTINGUISH IT.

DANGEROUS, ENGINE STALLING AND COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN,WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, DRIVING STRAIGHT, TURNING, OR JUST SITTING THERE. THE ABS LIGHT FLASHES AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. I SIT FOR A MINUTE, THEN I CAN RESTART AND THE VEHICLE RUNS FINE. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE ENGINE STALLING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE ARE NO CODES INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND WHAT THIS ISSUE IS. THERE WAS A RECALL IN DEC. 2013 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER, CHRYSLER CORP SAYS THAT MY VIN DOES NOT FIT INTO VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. IT SHOULD BE IF MY 2014 JEEP COMPASS IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AND IN THE STREETS. AND WITH THE AIRBAG MODULE NOT REPLACED YET BY A DIFFERENT RECALL, IT MAKES IT MORE DANGEROUS IF THE VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC, THEN A CAR HITS US AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 BEARINGS, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WENT COMPLETELY OUT DURING BIG SNOW IN 2016, THE RUTTER VALVE HAD GONE BAD(WHICH COSTS OVER $400., HAVING TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR, AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS... THIS JEEP HAD BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN SINCE I'VE HAD IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. THEY ARE JUNK AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP COMPASS SINCE JULY 2014 IN THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT , IT HAS LOST POWER AND STOPPED FUNCTIONING AS I WAS DRIVING BETWEEEN 55 AND 65 MILES/ HOUR 4 TIMES ON A VERY BUSY 5 LANE HIGHWAY. 1 OF THOSE TIMES I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED . THE OTHER TIMES AFTER LEAVING IT SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES, IT WOULD RESTART.THE TIME IT WAS TOWED, THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND IS THE BATTERY WAS LOW SO THEY REPLACED IT. ANOTHER TIME AT 33,000 MILES, THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING SO THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. LAST MONTH , IT DIED AGAIN IN THE SAME BUSY HIGHWAY AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK WHILE TRYING TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I LET IT SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AGAIN JUST LIKE THE OTHER TIMES. I TOOK IT TO WALLACE JEEP IN STUART FLORIDA WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT ON THE HIGHWAY NOW FOR WEEKS BECAUSE I FEAR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN AND AM AFRAID OF BEING HIT IN TRAFFIC. IT NOW HAS 66000 MILES ON IT SO THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE ON IT AS THE ORIGINAL DID. I A OPENED A CASE WITH JEEP AND CAN NEVER GET THEM TO CALL ME BACK I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AS LONG AS I LIVE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT! SO NOT FAIR THAT I AM STUCK WITH THIS DEATH TRAP! I PREVIOUSLY OWNED 3 DIFFERENT GRAND CHEROKEES WITH NO ISSUE , BUT THIS COMPASS IS A WORTHLESSS, DANGEROUS, POLE OF JUNK! I LOATHE THIS VEHICLE!

I BOUGHT MY CAR 2/5/14, BRAND SPANKING NEW (ONLY 35 MILES ON IT). I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AT NIGHT FAR AWAY FROM MY HOME WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAS ABOUT 365 MILES ON IT. THE CAR JERKED A FEW TIMES BUT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF, LIKE IT WAS SHIFTING BY ITS OWN. CAR DID NOT RPM. IT STOPPED JERKING HOWEVER HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW SECONDS LATER. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAD TO PRESS ON THE GAS FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE THE CAR DECIDED TO MOVE OR EVEN SHIFT INTO A GEAR. CAR WOULD MOVE BUT ONLY IN 1ST GEAR, IT RPM'D ALL THE WAY TO 4. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED THAT THE CAR GOT HOTTER THAN USUAL. ONCE I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK, I IDLED INTO A ANGLE PARKING SPOT AND BY THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE ANYMORE - SOLID ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE I GOT A HOLD OF THE DEALER THEY GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOWING. AS SOON AS THE CAR WAS PUT ON THE FLATBED TOW TRUCK, ALL YOU COULD SEE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT LOOKED LIKE BLOOD, EVERYWHERE. THAT HAPPENED ON 2/12/14. IT IS 2/25/14 - CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING TO BE FIXED, APPARENTLY PARTS ARE NATIONAL BACKORDER AND I AM ANGRY. I HAD MY CAR FOR 8 DAYS; DEALER HAS HAD IT GOING ON 13 DAYS NOW. AT LEAST, THOUGH, I AM THANKFUL IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR WHAT NOT. I COULD HAVE DIED.
