WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ABS BRAKING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND AVOID ACCIDENTS. ONCE I'M ABLE TO STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT WILL RESTART AND DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR CODES IN THE COMPUTER THAT IDENTIFY AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK IN ALL TEMPETURES AND CONDITIONS.

ETC LIGHTS COMES IN AND THE CAR THE LOOSES POWER. IT GOES LIMP AND WANTS TO STALL. IT LOSES CONTROL OVER THE THROTTLE.

TAKATA RECALL OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS WAS INVOLVED IN A 5 CAR ACCIDENT 3/4/2019 IN HENDERSON NV. PROCEEDING EAST BOUND ON I-215, A WHITE HYUNDAI WAS STALLED IN THE CENTER LANE IN THE BEGINNING OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. A RED TOYOTA TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH STRUCK THE REAR END OF THE HYUNDAI CATAPULTING THE HYUNDAI ACROSS LANES INTO THE PASSENGER DOORS (FRONT AND BACK) OF OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS DESTROYING THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR WHERE MY 12 YEAR OLD SON WAS SEATED CAUSING INJURY TO HIS SHOULDER NECK AND ARM. AT NO TIME DID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE, WERE DESIGNED TO DO OR MARKETED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. IN ADDITION THIS CRASH WAS AFTER FULFILLING THE REQUESTED TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WORK AND RETURNING OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS TO CHAPMAN CHRYSLER JEEP SERVICE CENTER FOR RECALL WORK SPECIFICALLY ON THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER . THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED BETWEEN 12/10-13/2018. OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS WAS ALSO EAST BOUND ON I-215 TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND WAS JUST PASSING IN THE LEFT FURTHERMOST LANE THE STALLED HYUNDAI WHEN THE TOYOTA REAR ENDED THE HYUNDAI CATAPULTING THE HYUNDAI INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR JEEP COMPASS.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD, AFTER A CURVE IN THE ROAD, MY JEEP"S TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL STARTED FLASHING. MY JEEP THEN WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I COULDN'T DRIVE FASTER THAN 40 MPH. I'M SO GLAD THAT I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD BECAUSE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY JEEP HOME AND IT HAS BEEN FINE SINCE BUT NOW I'M CONSTANTLY WORRIED THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANYTIME.

I'VE TRIED REFUELING MY KEEP. AND NUMEROUS TIMES THE FUEL HAS SHOT BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPILLED ON THE FLOOR AND ALL OVER ME. THOUGHT IT WAS ME AND ASKED A MECHANIC AT ANNADALE SERVICE CENTER IN STATEN ISLAND TO HELP AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. SO OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SERVICE AT ISLAND JEEP CHRYSLER. A DIAGNOSIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FILLER TUBE.

WHEN GOING OVER 30MPH OR UPHILL MY TRANSMISSION STARTS SPUTTERING. I CANNOT ACCELERATE. FREQUENTLY HAPPENS WHEN ON HIGHWAYS. THERE IS A SUDDEN SHIFT ALMOST LIKE IM SWITCHING GEARS. RPM SHOOTS UP BUT CAR WILL NOT GAIN SPEED. HEADLIGHTS WILL GET VERY DIM, INSIDE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER. WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE ITS LIKE IT ALMOST DOESNT WANT TO START. FRONT WINDOW MOTORS WORK WHEN THEY PLEASE

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE WHEN IT LOST POWER, TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED ANOTHER MOTOR CAUSE 2 CYLINDERS WERE GETTING COMPRESSION WHICH MEANS NO POWER... IT WILL ONLY GET UP TO 2500 RPMS AND LOSES POWER, NO START POWER AND NO POWER UP HILLS AT ALL

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR KEEPS RANDOMLY POPPING UP. I WAS DRIVING & A LIGHT SIGNALING AIRBAG POPS UP.
