2016 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND DINGING WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO VEHICLES DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AND RPMS JUMPING UP AND DOWN.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL IS DEFUNCT AND THE CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE. I STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING!

CAR THROWING CATALYTIC CONVERTER CODE. WAS IN SHOP 3 TIMES THIS YEAR WITH ENGINE ISSUES. STALLING OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. MISFIRING ON MULTIPLE CYLINDERS. DRIVING UP HILLS OVERHEATS LOSSES POWER ONLY GOES 40 MPR UP HILLS. CUTS OUT RANDOMLY.

ALL OF MY LIGHTS CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE THEN CAR WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESSES & ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH MY AIRBAGS BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS ON. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 30-40MPH. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME AND BE ABLE TO PARK MY CAR AND I WAS FORTUNATE I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

I WAS IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION ON 9/24/2020. THE CAR IS BEING INSPECTED FOR REPAIRS NOW AND I AM DEALING WITH THE INSURANCE CLAIM AT THIS TIME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF AT A SPEED OF 35-40 MPH, STRIKING THE VEHICLE THAT WAS AT-FAULT, AND THEN A METAL POLE. FORTUNATELY DID NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER WITH ME.

I WAS DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. IT'S LIKE MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BUT I STILL HAD POWER. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OFF ONTO THE SIDE WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED MY CAR HAD JUST SHUT OFF. I TRIED RESTARTING IT THREE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT STARTED. I TESTED IT AND IT WAS RUNNING SO I TRIED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT INSTANTLY SHUT OFF AGAIN THIS TIME THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING AND JUST ROLLED BACKWARDS. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE I HAD SUFFICIENT GAS AND OIL. MY CAR GETS SERVICED REGULARLY AND I'VE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL NOW. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE I HAVE FOUND OTHER RECALLS ON THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL FOR ENGINE FAILURE! WHERE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO OTHERS.

ON TUESDAY, 9/15/2020 I WENT TO TURN ON MY JEEP COMPASS FROM MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD NOT START. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LATER THAT EVENING I TRIED STARTING MY JEEP AGAIN, IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW OFF. ON FRIDAY, 6/18/2020 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ADVANCED AUTO WHERE THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER - ALL 3 ITEMS CAME BACK GOOD. ON MY WAY HOME FROM ADVANCED AUTO I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON SOUTH RAILROAD STREET IN PALMYRA, PA. 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. ON 9/23/2020 I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM KELSEY. SHE STATED THAT SHE SPOKE TO CHRYSLER, THEIR WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND ALSO MVP, ALL OF WHICH DECLINED RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THE PART.
