2014 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE MULTIPLE UNKNOWN PARTS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

MY JEEP COMPASS WANT TO STALL WHEN I PRESS THE GAS! IT HAS BEEN DOING IT NOW FOR 2 DAYS AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT DID ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK ON A HIGHWAY YESTERDAY! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS AND SIDE ROADS. THE CAR HAS NOT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY BUT IT WANTS TO AND WHEN IN DOES IT CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK AND LOSE SPEED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT.

I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THIS STRANGE LIGHT LIT AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RACING BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I TRIED GOING AGAIN BUT WITHIN 500 FT AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FRANTIC I PULLED INTO A SHOPPING MALL AND PULLED OUT THE CAR'S MANUAL. I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY LIGHT. I MADE THE TRIP HOME AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SCANNED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REPLACED THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR IS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE WITH 52,363 MILES. I WAS CHARGED $556.54 TO FIX MY NOT YET 5 YEAR OLD CAR!

THERE IS A RECALL THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN BY JEEP AND IT'S THE CATYLICTIC CONVERTER AND ALSO THE THROTTLE BODY JUST WENT OUT.

RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T RUN BECAUSE THE BRAIN WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK FROM LUNCH. THERE'S NO RESPONSE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHER DAY IT COMPLETELY STOPPED DEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. TO TOP MY MATTERS OFF WITH THIS VEHICLE IT'S HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALLED AND REPLACED AND MANY OTHER PARTS IT'S A TERRIBLE VEHICLE. TO TOP MY STRESS WITH IT MY SEATBELT DOESN'T LOCK WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO SO IF I WRECK LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I HONESTLY WISH I COULD AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE MINE I FEEL IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME. I HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT IT WAS DOING BEFORE IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN CAN'T UPLOAD ANY PICTURES BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DO JUSTICE.

2014 JEEP COMPASS LOST SUDDEN SPEED ON INTERSTATE. COULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. 4X4, 'LIGHTENING BOLT' , TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHTS ALL ON. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRANSFER TRUCK.

TAKATA RECALL COMPLAINT - ENGINE, FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL 2014 JEEP COMPASS SPUTTERS AND JERKS, DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING DAILY ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND HIGHWAYS SINCE 2016 UNTIL CURRENT AND NOW SINCE 5/6/209 AND 5/10/2019 THE ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY CAME ON ALONG WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 45 OR 50 MPH..ONLY GAIN SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. I WAS SCARED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER

VEHICLE HAS ISSUES ACCELERATING SPUTTERS AND JERKS BETWEEN 25 AND 45 MILES PER HOUR. HAD A MECHANIC CHECK THIS ISSUE AND SAYS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND WAS JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A DEALER AND HAD A GOOD RATING. VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASE AND HAS BEGUN TO GET WORSE. THIS ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2 ND TO 3 RD.

DRIVING WHEN I LOST POWER, EVEN PUSHING ON THE GAS... THE CAR SLOWED TO UNDER 20MPH. A FEW LIGHTS CAME UP ON DASH (CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, LIGHTNING BOLT) ENGINE STUTTERED AND CARS WERE SWERVING TO GO AROUND ME BECAUSE I HAD NO POWER NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED ON THE GAS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY PASSENGER SEATBELT CLIP BROKE. ALL ON ITS OWN. NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING SHOULD OF CAUSED IT. I HAVE LOW MILES ON THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THIS SEAT BELT CLIP IS GOING TO COST ME MORE THEN $300. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO. NOT FAIR!
