What You Should Do: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the crankshaft or camshaft sensor, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S89. Summary: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2016 Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured May 9, 2016, to July 15, 2016. The crankshaft or camshaft sensor may only work intermittently, causing the engine to stall. I own a 2016 Jeep Compass that is having this exact issue but my VIN is not included in the recall so I had to pay for the repair out of pocket.

Electronic throttle control Vehicle light came on my 2016 jeep compass dash as I was on vacation vehicle would not accelerate and turned off causing us to almost wreck and having to leave it on the side of the road and call a Uber and get a tow. There is many reports of this issue it needs to be a recall.

I recently got the catalytic converter and 02 sensor swapped which removed the check engine light. My vehicle was running perfect. The I drive it today. Made a right turn, next thing you know the vehicle starts shaking and such and won’t go over 20 mph. I take it to the mechanic. They’re telling me the reader isn’t picking up the problem. Invalid data. I looked online and multiple people are having the same problem. My thing is I was overcharged charged 25,000 for this vehicle from Sam at jeep, Chrysler, dodge on route 300 Newburgh New York 2 years ago.

Car starts fine. After the car gets up to operating team the car will just stop running, very dangerous in traffic as it cannot be sterred or hardly stopped. The lightning bolt symbol appears on dash then car just dies. I replaced 2 camshaft position sensors and 1 connector. Car was fine for 2 weeks then started acting even crazier. I scan obd2 but get no codes.

My jeep compass falls under the problems of the S89 recall but my local dealer is stating my vin doesn’t meet the recall. 1 it’s a safety issue 2 I will be going down the road and the engine completely shuts off and I have to coast to the side of the road turn the ignition off. And start it back sometimes I have to wait a few minutes before it’ll start back

The problem happened twice, this month: First incident, waiting at a red light, light turned green, I took foot off of the break and car turned off. Placed hazards on, put car into park and turned car off and then started back up. Reserving out driveway, went to shift from R to D and my car turned off. I placed the gear shift back into park and turned the car back on. There was no warning lights or lamps when this happened. I called the dealership where I purchased the car to confirm if there were any recalls. They asked for my Vin # and stated there was no recall for this type of problem. I found online that other 2016 Jeep compass owners, did have the same issues occur and it was a crankshaft recall. Due to my manufacture date of 10-15, this was not considered a recall problem.

The crankshaft or camshaft sensor may only work intermittently, causing the engine to stall. There’s a recall on my car and the dealership won’t fix it

My car cuts off while driving, I took it to the dealership December 5th, 2024 and they said there’s a recall for the catalytic converter which makes my engine stall! In November 2024 while I was driving, it cut off while I was turning and traffic was heading my way! My wheel started to locked so I had to pressed on my brakes to control the wheel. I made an appointment to the dealership where I financed the car, but they told me they don’t have the part because it is back ordered, but by law since my car is a safety hazard for me and others. I should’ve received a loaner or a new car!

I bought this car year and half ago and I been doing a lot of repairs in it and now the engine light came on and stated the bank 1 and bank 2 sensor camshaft and engine is stalling and car is jerking very dangerous I did allighment new control arms engine mounts I repaired a lot I put new tires I can’t drive it on the high way it starts to jerk left and right and steering is very hard to control seats are horribale and so are the seatbelts.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WERE FAULTY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL . THIS CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IN TRAFFIC.

On Sunday, 4/14 as I was driving, my Jeep suddenly lost power and stalled. I was able to get to a median. I waited a few minutes, started the vehicle and was able to reach my destination. The next day I was driving on the highway at approximately 65mph when the engine shut off again. Fortunately there was not a lot of traffic and I was able to coast to the berm of the road. The check engine light came on. Family members came to help. We started it a few times and tried to drive but would only get a mile or two and the same thing would happen. I had to have it towed to a repair shop near my house. The mechanic drove it the next day to see if it would act the same way. He also lost power and it stalled again. He told me that the code that came up was a crankshaft sensor failure. He replaced the part the next day.

Engine cuts out while driving. Had to pull over to the side and reset by instructions from Google. Took the car to a local garage and he said it was a computer issue. This part was replaced 3-4 years ago and is failing again. A red symbol like a lightning bolt and the check engine light was on.

UNKNOWN my car has less then 50,000miles on it and it keeps stalling usually it starts right back up but twice it took about 5 minutes to start back up it gets regular oil changes

The vehicle stalls while driving. Completely shuts down and locks up the steering wheel and causes dangerous circumstances. Also, turns off at times while stopped. Can happen at all speeds.

Car is showing symptoms of crankshaft failure. Car is shaking when accelerating, low gas performance, and accelerating is sometimes unresponsive. Other 2016 Jeeps of the same year, make and model have been given a recall for the same problem but this vehicle has not been included in the recall even though it has the same problems.

The car just shuts off on me while driving. All lights come on on dash and car shuts off and I have to get it off the road stop it and turn it off wait for about three to five mins. Restart it and it turn back on and goes. This happens quite often check engine light came on and has since stayed on. Im in far of driving it because you dont know when its going to happen and could cause a bad wreck. It also does it when im turning a sharp turn it will just shut off! It also when I park my car and I shut it off and take key out its still running and I have to wIt for it to big out and die for it to shut off. I have not taken it to get looked at yet or fixed or nothing I just bought the car less then thirty days ago.

I bought my car in Oct 2022 and it ran fantastic until this summer (July 2023) when it shut down while drive. The shop told me it was the crank shaft sensor. FIXED it. But that didn't fix the stalling issue. Had my car towed back in and they ran it, ran a lot of test on it. Finally they let it run for 30mins and found out that when the car heats up, it stalls. They told me this has to do with the sensor/engine/transmission and basically since it's hot outside as the car heats up it sends a message to the engine/transmission to shut down.

I purchased the vehicle in dec 2018. The odometer read 40248. I had to replace the alternator 3 times. Last one in 2021. the vehicle would loose power on the road causing a safety hazard. Since I bought the jeep the vehicle would stutter when pressing the gas pedal. 2021 at 100,000 miles Check engine light came on and stalled driving home and had to be pushed out of the lane by police. Diagnosing code said misfiring. Took to a small mechanic and replaced engine. After repair still had the stutter. and a year and a half later stalled on highway. The vehicle code now says misfiring on po302. Parked vehicle for now.

When turning key stalling to start car. Finally car wouldn’t start and I went to auto services and they said I probably needed a new battery. So I purchased a new battery. Now it’s about two months later and car is hesitating/stalling to start again as I try crank the car up.

While driving, our jeep suddenly turned off. We had to immediately pull over to get out of traffic. When we tried restarting it would act like it wanted to start but the engine would never actually start, & we noticed the ETC dash light was lit. Pulled out the manual, followed the instructions with no luck. My husband got out & opened the hood & noticed a burning smell. That is when we decided to call a tow truck. I had driven the jeep earlier that day to & from work & for an errand after work with no problems & no warning lights. The vehicle is @ the dealership now, but since we didn't have an appointment I've been told it may take up to 3 weeks before they can get to it.

Yesterday I had the Crankshaft Position Sensor replaced because of the ongoing stalling while idle and stalling while in motion issues. Today it has stalled 5 times while in motion on surface streets and the highways going over 40 mph and twice in a parking when sitting idle or initial startup. For the times when in motion and it stalled I was able to get off the road and avoid any collisions. This is unsafe, the truck must sit for an unknown period of time before it will restart. I am currently sitting on the freeway with hazards until it restarts. I spoke with Chrysler recall and they say there is nothing wrong with the truck and the information online showing multiple 2016 Jeep Compass stalling issues doesn’t mean anything because it’s not in the Jeep database. In the past when it stalls the check engine light normally does not come on. In my research it shows other owners being told the dealer cans dx anything because no errors. We are supposed to just drive these death traps until one of us dies before Chrysler will do anything. I am not financially able to go to a dealer and pay for diagnostics and repairs. As it stand I paid over $400 yesterday for that one part to be replaced. When will Chrysler be held accountable for these safety issues related to driving a vehicle that stalls and loses power while in motion. Then will not restart for an unknown amount of time. Why do we have to possibly pay with our lives. If this truck actually held value l could trade it in. But I can’t it’s worth 5k on kbb and the note is at 17k. In a previous complaint I got the mileage wrong and stated 116k.

While driving the vehicle shut down, I lost all steering. It has a history of stalling while driving, stalling while idle, and not restarting for random periods of time. After getting the vehicle restarted it stalled again two more times while driving. I parked in a parking lot for a shopping center. When I cam out after a period of 30-45 minutes - the vehicle will not start and just turns over and over. I used FIXD to determine the camshaft position sensor was listed as a "major" issue - error P0335. I believe this vehicle is unsafe and it is only a matter of time when I will be injured due to the stalling and non-restarting issues. I also believe Chrysler is responsible for this problem. Considering the vast amounts of user evidence online of other owners having the same issues - Chrysler is just waiting for them to age off the road. I purchased the vehicle from Carmax on 6/18/2022 and feel I was sold a lemon. I have made a complaint on this site before. I have called Chrysler and they say there is nothing wrong with my vehicle - it has been repaired and they did their part. Obviously this is not the case for mine and thousands of other owners across the country. Why are we the ones who have to suffer at the negligence of the automaker? Do I have to die or become severely injured for them to take responsibility for their design and manufacturing flaws? Do others have to suffer irreparable damage also? Why won't the government do something about these unsafe vehicle we were sold? It is not enough to say "well there are no active recalls".

11/9/2022 2016 jeep compass shaking and shuts off randomly, won't reverse , turning off and on engine fix the issue for a few minutes.

Driving on the highway, the check engine light came on as well as the abs, 4wd, and the traction light came on, than the car lost all power, stalled and cut out, try to restart it than it begin to shake very hard.

Vehicle will stall and die while driving for no reason. It happens everyday at least once a day. No check engine light, no warning. It's extremely dangerous to just stop moving in the middle of an intersection. Or on the highway. When I turn the key to try and start it again it gets stuck cranking even when letting go of the key. I have to turn it off to stop the cranking. I've had a mechanic look at it multiple times and they don't know what the fix would be or what is wrong.

My engine is shutting down, sometimes in the middle of me driving. My car will shut done and I will stop in the middle of merging into traffic. Or waiting at a light my car will shut down. I almost got rear ended today because my car randomly shut down. No warning lights are on. I have looked up information and this exact problem is happening with other 2016 keep compasses. The dealer I contacted just told me that there were no codes that could be read so he couldn’t tell me what was wrong. I also took my car to advance for them to check everything and the gentleman there also told me no codes were reading. This has been happening for about a month.

I have taken my jeep to get the thermostat sensor put in for the second time. This jeep has multiple mechanical issues that i have taken into a mechanic shop for fixing now the check engine light on.jeep came from drive time with these issues since I had the car they need to recall these jeep because it's a safety issue for possible accident.the issues have been a problem since 2020 when I got it and every year from then

In May 2020 as I was driving down the road at approximately 50 mph I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate and dropped down to 25 mph immediately. I tried to accelerate, but the vehicle would not go over 25 mph. The check engine, traction control and another light illuminated on the dash. I pulled the vehicle over and shut it off. I waited approximately 5 minutes and restarted the vehicle. All of the lights went off except the check engine light. I started to drive again and it appeared that I had function back with the accelerator. This happened again several days earlier. It seemed to happen most when I needed to accelerate to climb a hill or slight incline. This is not safe, especially when in traffic or with traffic behind you. I brought it to my local garage and it was diagnosed with a bad throttle body sensor. The sensor was replaced in May 2020. I have just begun having similar issues again recently. The vehicle seems to hesitate when the accelerator is pressed as though it is not getting enough gas. I brought it is to the garage again, and again it was diagnosed with a bad throttle body sensor. This is not something that should be replaced twice in 2 years?

Engine would intermittently stall while driving without warning. Some cases the engine would go into limp mode and other cases the engine would completely shut off. Problem occured while driving on city streets as well as driving on highway at highway speeds. Severe risk of collision occurred multiple times to myself and all other vehicles around me. A local repair shop misdiagnosed the problem multiple times as there was no check engine light present. A private mechanic determined that my vehicle needed the Chrysler s89 recall fix. A licensed dealership declined to perform the recall because my vehicle was manufactured in November of 2015. The private mechanic replaced the three electrical terminals that connect to the crank/camshaft sensors which unofficially completed the Chrysler s89 recall fix. Vehicle ran problem free for two weeks with about 300 miles driven before engine stalled again this time with check engine light illuminated as well as an emissions light. Vehicle was towed to a licensed dealership. Licensed dealership found codes C2101 and P2173. Dealership replaced throttle body and a sensor. Between a local repair shop, a private mechanic, a licensed dealership and multiple tow companies I spent over 3,000 dollars (assuming the throttle body failure is a result of the Chrysler s89 recall).

Friday 06/17/22 Parked care to go to excise class for 1 hour, when returned the car was running/had been started , I thought maybe the key control hit another set of keys in my pocket however, when I arrived home, and cut car off, and went in house the car started again and this happen several times that day.06/18/22 went to Walmart and parked car, when returned to car and unlocked the car door ,the car automatically locked it self, I unlocked it and it locked itself again.then when got home locked the car and went inside the house, the car then started up and was running again. also, the Radio AM/FM stations not working , only the Sirius radio stations are.

tHE CAR HAS STALLED AND SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST SLOWS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES

THE JEEP WILL STALL/STOP RUNNING AT VARIOUS POINTS WHILE IN MOTION, WHEN STOPPING, WHEN STARTING. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS WHEN THIS MIGHT OCCUR. I CAN HAVE THE AC RUNNING OR NOT, THE HEATER RUNNING OR NOT. THERE IS NO MECHANICAL PROCESS THAT SHOWS ME THIS WILL HAPPEN. IT IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A REPLACED PART AS PART OF THE CHRYSLER S89 RECALL IN APRIL OF 2017, WHICH IS OUT OF WARRANTY ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. THE PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTING AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME CONSIDERING IT STALLS RANDOMLY AND WHILE IN MOTION. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM CARMAX IN JUNE 2021 WITH NO NOTICE OF THE FORMER RECALL AND ISSUE.

While driving 2016 Jeep Compass vehicle jerks suddenly and feels like it is going to stall. Nothing changes on dashboard. This happens during acceleration or even just driving down the road or highway. Took it to dealership back in 2020 and the catalytic converter was replaced. The jerking stopped until now. Took it back to same dealership and the mechanic could not duplicate the problem. No codes thrown. Even though I have many witnesses hat have been in the vehicle while it occurred. Picked jeep back up and it started jerking while driving again within a 1/2 mile of driving away from the dealership. Repair not done. Feels unsafe to drive. I’m afraid it is going to stall and cause an accident. Mileage in 2020 incident 65000. Mileage this incident 76000

When I’m at a stop and I go to push the gas the vehicle stalls out, or Whalen I slow down and then push the gas to merge onto interstates/highways it completely stalls out and has potentially killed me more than once.

Engine will stall with no warning in the middle of driving it. Has happened multiple times already in the last few days.

This morning (08.20.21) I was driving to work when about 1 mile in I was going 45mph and my car started stalling, causing it to drop to 10mph. The engine light and traction control light are consistently on. The electronic throttle control light is constantly blinking when I have the ignition on. My car has been in limp mode all day and will not go over 10mph. I almost got hit by the car behind me when it happened and almost hit someone else trying to get out of their way. I’ve been looking into it all day and I found that there was a recall “S89” on Jeep Compass 2016 made anytime between May 9, 2016 and July 15, 2016 and which came equipped with 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engines. Mine was manufactured July 15, 2016 and is a 2.0-liter.

My car is intermittently stalling on idle....

While driving during the work day on a busy street my Jeep Compass stalled out putting myself and others at risk of an accident. No lights or warning signs were visible on the dashboard making this a sudden and scary event. After being it to the dealership they assessed the issue as the crankshaft power sensor, after doing more research I see that this has been an issue as well as a previous recall on other 2016 Jeep Compass’ and feel that now mine should be added to the list as the safety of myself and others were put at risk as a result.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS KEEPS STALLING OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS (70,000M). IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES AND JUST STALLS SOMETIME IN THE TOWN AND SOME TIMES ON THE INTERSATE. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY REPLACED ANOTHER KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY (HAD THAT REPLACED ON MY DAUGHTERS 2017 JEEP COMPASS) BUT IT STILL DIDN'T HELP THIS JEEP. REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TWICE AND THE DEALERS ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO SELL IT. (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON ONCE- AND NO OTHER ALARMS BUT IN A 6 HOUR DRIVE IT HAPPENED 15-20 TIMES. FEARFUL TO PASS A CAR FOR FEAR IT MIGHT STALL AGAIN...

I WAS GOING WEST ON FAIR VIEW AVENUE IN TUCSON, ARIZONA WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO SOMETHING BELOW DRIVE. IT STARTED SHIMMYING BACK AND FORTH AND WOULD NOT PROCEED. I WAS COMING UPON A 4 WAY STOP, SO I FINALLY GOT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE; IT SEEMED OK. I DROVE VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT--MAYBE 4 OR 5 BLOCKS. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURNED INTO MY GARAGE, THE GEARSHIFT SHIFTED BELOW AGAIN AND MY CAR SHIMMIED OUT OF CONTROL BACK AND FORTH AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR WAS BADLY SCRAPED, AND THE LEFT TAILLIGHT CRACKED. SO, THE FIRST TIME I WAS BRIEFLY STATIONARY WAITING FOR THE CARS AHEAD OF ME TO MOVE, BUT THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN MOTION BUT MOVING VERY SLOWLY TO NEGOTIATE THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARAGE, SO ALMOST STATIONARY. THE GARAGE WAS NOT DAMAGED. I DO NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE THAT CAN TAKE PHOTOS AT THIS TIME, BUT I HOPE TO SECURE A CELL PHONE. THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS INSPECTS MY CAR FOR ITS REGULAR SERVICE, SO THEY MUST HAVE RECORDS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN FOR ME TO GO, I WENT TO RELEASE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF - IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY DEAD, NOTHING WAS WORKING. I THEN WENT TO PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE BRAKE, AND I FELT PRESSURE UNDERNEATH THE BRAKE THAT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO COMPLETELY PRESS IT DOWN. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TURNING MY KEY AND RESTARTING THE CAR, AND IT TURNED BACK ON AND I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. ON MONDAY, 9/21/2020 I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO LADD-HANFORD IN LEBANON, PA. ON 9/22/2020 KELSEY SHELLEHAMER CALLED ME FROM LADD-HANFORD TO INFORM ME THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS FAULTY, THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS FOR THE SAME MODEL BUT JUST NOT MY YEAR, SO SHE WAS GOING TO CALL CHRYSLER AND SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT ANYWAY.

AGAIN THIS AM, I HAD CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65 MPH - CAR STALLED NO WARNING!. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY CAR - NOTHING!! WOULD TURN BUT NOT START, WAITED APPROX 1 MINUTE AND TRIED AGAIN, SAME THING WOULD NOT START. WAITED ANOTHER MINUTE,TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED AND NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I DROVE TO WORK AT 55 MPH WITH FLASHERS ON - TOTALLY UNSAFE ON THE PA TURNPIKE. I CALLED MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE FOR THE SERVICE MGR AROUND 3AM THAT THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. HE ADVISED TAKE TO AN AUTO ZONE TO HAVE THE CODE CHECKED SINCE THEY DO FOR FREE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR-I DRIVE ALMOST 2 HRS TO GO TO WORK I AM SO SCARED OF THIS CAR AND AFRAID I AM GOING TO GET KILLED ON THE TURNPIKE BECAUSE OF THIS.

MY JEEP COMPASS 2016 HAD BEEN TO THE MECHANIC IN 2 DIFFERENT GARAGES. FOR 60 DAYS I'VE EXPERIENCED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO ENGINE LIGHT. NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THIS SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 4 WAY INTERSECTION, IT WOULD SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY. STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF AT STOP LIGHTS. I WAS AFRAID OF DRIVING MY CAR BUT I HAD TO GET TO WORK WHICH WAS 30 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. 2 MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE ON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING SHOWED NO CODES, THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY RESEARCH AND AGREED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED ON 2016 COMPASS JEEP BUT MY VIN WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL (WHY) AFTER THIS SENSOR WAS REPLACED THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY, NO MORE STALLED ENGINE AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BELEIVE THAT JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS AND THEY HAVE FIXED OTHERS. I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP OR CHRYSLER. MOST SCARY CAR PROBLEM I EVER ENCOUNTERED. I AM A 55 YEAR OLD DRIVER, HAVING DRIVEN OVER A MILLION MILES IN MY LIFE TIME. TO HAVE A CAR SHUT OFF ITS ENGINE IN MID FLIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS JEEP IT COULD EASILY BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AS IT IS UNPREDICTABLE WHEN IT WILL STOP, ENGINE DIES. I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO MECHANIC NUMBER 2 FOR A SECOND EVALUATION. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IF NO PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $117 FOR THE HOUR THEY WOULD PUT THE MECHANIC ON IT TO CHECK IT.

2016 JEEP COMPASS RECALL - THE POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF AND RESTART. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A WHILE AND AFTER A COUPLE OF ENGINE STARTS, THE LIGHTS GO OFF. WHEN IT LOSES POWER, PUSHING ON THE GAS, THE CAR DOESN'T GET ANY POWER TO MOVE FORWARD. IT'S ONLY COASTING ALONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. VERY SCARY, I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND TURN IT BACK ON TO CONTINUE. I'M AFRAID EVENTUALLY IT WON'T TURN BACK ON. IT STARTED HAPPENING AROUND MAY 2018.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS HAS STALLED OUT TWICE WITHIN APPROXIMATELY A 7-WEEK PERIOD. ONCE IN A PARKING LOT (2/8/2017) AND TODAY (3/29/2017) A STALL-OUT OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. TODAY, I WAS STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN. TRAFFIC WAS BACKED-UP, SO WHEN IT BEGAN TO MOVE, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE TURN, AND THE JEEP STALLED. I PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL, AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED. HOWEVER, THIS WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. BETWEEN THE STALL-OUTS, THE VEHICLE WILL "JERK" PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HAVING TO ACCELERATE. THESE HARD "JERKS" HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND ARE OCCURRING ON A DAILY BASIS. BOTH ISSUES APPEAR TO OCCUR WHEN SPEED IS LOWER AND/OR HAVE TO DECELERATE OR ACCELERATE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, IF THE VEHICLE HAS SAT OVERNIGHT OR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. NO LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD DURING THESE "JERKS" OR STALL-OUTS. TODAY WILL MAKE THE 4TH TIME WITHIN THE SEVEN-WEEK PERIOD I WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN ONE YEAR. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 11,500 MILES ON IT.

ON DECEMBER 9, 2016 I RENTED A JEEP COMPASS AND ON THAT DAY I HAD A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY. VERY LOW TRAFFIC AREA. BEFORE APPLYING THE BRAKE, I WAS DRIVING AT A SAFE SPEED FOR THE ROAD CONDITIONS - FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MPH ON FRESH SNOW AND SOME PACKED SNOW OVER A PAVED ROAD BASE. AT ABOUT TWENTY TO TWENTY FIVE FEET BEFORE A STOP SIGN I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE DID NOTHING. THERE WAS CLICKING NOISES AND THE COMPASS SEEMED TO ACCELERATE. I CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKE AS I ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP AREA FOR THE STOP SIGN. THE PAVED ROAD ENDED AT THE STOP SIGN AND TURNED INTO A DIRT ROAD BASE. AT THIS POINT I TURNED THE WHEEL AS THE MOMENTUM CONTINUED. I WAS HOPING THE DIRT ROAD BASE WOULD PROVIDE GRAB FOR THE TURNED FRONT TIRES AND STEER THE COMPASS TO THE DIRECTION OF THE DIRT ROAD. THERE WAS NO GRAB AND THE COMPASS CONTINUED TO DRIVE ACROSS THE DIRT ROAD FOR ABOUT ANOTHER TWENTY FEET AS I CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE FOR ABOUT FORTY-FIVE FEET WHEN I SEE THE TEN FOOT DROP DITCH AHEAD OF ME. THE COMPASS DIDN'T SLOW, EVER. IT SEEMED TO ACCELERATE. IT WOULDN'T BE DIRECTED BY STEERING IT. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. AT THIS POINT I DID ALL THAT I COULD THINK OF TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I LOOKED AT THE DITCH AND KNEW THAT THE SUV AND I WOULD RECEIVE DAMAGE. THE COMPASS ROLLED INTO THE DITCH. WHEN THE SUV FINALLY STOPPED I WAS UP SIDE DOWN. FOR ME TO BEST DESCRIBE THIS JEEP COMPASS IS THAT IT WAS A "TERMINATOR". IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. ONCE I APPLIED THE BRAKE, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. *TR
