2015 JEEP COMPASS Vehicle Speed Control Problems

ABS and anti-slip Lights they are on

My 2015 Jeep Compass will randomly stall while I am driving... randomly breaking while im driving. Then very frequently it will not let me drive past 20 miles per hour (sometimes slower than this). It randomly acts like this. It always feels like it does not want to accelerate... it will sometimes but most times doesn't. I have taken it to both a private service center and to the dealership multiple times. The dealership states each time they see nothing wrong with my car. No codes pop up. Also when this happens nothing pops up on my dashboard. Driving this car has put me at risk multiple times that I refuse to drive it now. The last time I drove it, it was going 10 mph and I was reversing into my driveway and the car randomly sped up while I was reversing then went back to going super slow. I know someone in the same area as me with a jeep and she said her jeep has been doing similar things and the dealerships don't know what's wrong with it. The car has a mind of its own and is unsafe to me the driver and the drivers around while it is on the road. Nothing was wrong with my car prior to this... this randomly started happening and never stopped months later.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while she was driving at approximately 35 MPH, the throttle body warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the warning light went away and then illuminated again while pressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that she was unable to drive over 20 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who informed the contact of a recall on the catalytic converter. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact stated that after one week, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the diagnosis was that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The contact was provided a cost for the repair however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the check engine warning light and the throttle body warning light illuminated. Then, the vehicle decelerated and would not exceed 20 MPH. The contact stated that as she continued to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated to 65 MPH. The contact depressed the brake pedal and was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring and the vehicle would jerk whenever the warning lights were illuminated while driving. The contact also stated that the failure had increased with intensity and frequency. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

Mileage: 92,000

I PURCHASED MY 2015 JEEP COMPASS SPORT JANUARY OF 2020. SUMMER OF 2020 I HAD TO REPLACE MY CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND MY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR BECUASE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND WOULD NOT START. THIS YEAR JANUARY OF 2021 I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH WHILE IT WAS SNOWING HEAVILY AND MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND SLOWED THE POWER OF MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT MY CAR READ AND THE CODE CAME BACK AS P0365. I HAVE HAD THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY THIS MONTH AND I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. AGAIN ON MY HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND SLOWED DOWN MY CAR. I TOOK THE BACK ROADS HOME AS I DID THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I DROVE MY CAR WOULD RANDOMLY ACCELERATE ON ITS ON AND HESITATE TO PICK UP SPEED ONE I HAD STOPPED OR PRESSED MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDAL.

THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED, REPLACED THE BATTERY, HAD THE THROTTLE SENSOR CONTROL REPLACED, HAD THE CRANKSHIFT REPLACED, AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER AND EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THE CAR STILL SHUTS OFF, AND THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY. THE DEALER STATED THAT NO CODES ARE COMING UP SO THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS NOW, MY JEEP SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES. THE ENGINE LIGHT, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COME ON, THE JEEP RUNS VERY ROUGH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE OTHER LIGHTS GO OFF BUT AFTER DRIVING A BIT THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. WHEN SCANNED THE CODE IS U0401 STATING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH COMMUNICATION TO THE PCM. THERE IS ONLY 88700 MILES ON THE JEEP. THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IS GOOD TO 100000 BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE PCM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHE JEEP COMPASSES AND PATRIOTS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT HAS BEEN A PARTICULARLY SCARY SITUATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE JEEP RAPIDLY DECELERATES AND THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME HAS HAD DIFFICULTY SLOWING AS QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENED 12/16/18 AS WELL AS 12 /6/18 AND 12/17/18

I HAVE HAD MY 2015 JEEP COMPASS FOR 2 YEAR AND 8 MONTHS. I BOUGHT IT USED. SINCE THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES. MY CAR WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR IMMEDIATELY WHEN I MAKE TURNS. JUST RECENTLY THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. AS OF TODAY THE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 20 MPH AND THEN I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. AS SOON AS I MADE A U-TURN THE LIGHT COME BACK ON. I PLAYED WITH THE DIFFERENT DRIVE SETTINGS AS A COASTED BACK HOME. ONCE I MADE IT HOME (6 MINUTES) THE THROTTLE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

Mileage: 105,590

TAKATA RECALL THE THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR CAME ON AND THEN I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF AND COME BACK ON RANDOMLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE TWO SENSORS THAT HAVE BEEN KNOW TO GO BAD ON JEEPS AND ONE IF NOT BOTH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS NO WARNING JUST LOST ALL ACCELERATION CAPABILITY GOING 60MPH IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.
