2012 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP COMPASS SPORT, SINCE JULY 2013 I HAVE BEEN HAVING SPUTTERING, SURGING, ACCELERATION ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER OVER 3 TIMES IT IS IN DEALER CURRENTLY. THEY HAVE PUT A TRACKER ON TO FIND ISSUE AND STILL NOTHING. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND IT GETS BOGGED DOWN AND DOES NOT WANT TO GO ANY FURTHER THIS IS A CONCERN. ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM ENTERING HIGHWAY AND CANNOT GET PAST 59MPH WITH THE CAR. IT FEELS LIKE I AM IN A WINDTUNNEL THE LOW ACCELERATION IS INSANE. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 4-10 MINUTES JUST TO GET TO 60 MPH. I HAVE TO STAY ON THE GAS HARD JUST TO GET IT TO GO ANYWHERE MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE HAD IN DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY JUST SAY WELL WE ARE NOT SURE. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS GETTING ON HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST STAYED AT 59 MPH AND 1.5 RPMS. AND WOULD GO NO FURTHER IT DID THIS FOR 4 + MILES ON HIGHWAY. I HAD HORNS HONKING AT ME AND I WAS JUST WAITING TO GET PULLED OVER FOR GOING TO SLOW. SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND ITS A 4 CYLINDER. BUT IT DROVE GREAT AND WONDERFULLY SMOOTH THE FIRST YEAR, THEN A WEIRD IDLE STARTED TO OCCUR RANDOMLY, THEN A LITTLE SURGE WHEN LEAVING STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS, IT SQUEAKS AND CREAKS WHEN MAKING TURNS AND CREAKS LOUDLY GOING OVER BUMPS. I WANT SOMEONE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO BE IGNORING EVERY COMPLAINT AND CALL I HAVE MADE. I HAVE CONTACT JEEP VIA EMAIL AT LEAST 3 TIMES. NO ANSWERS AT ALL. SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT. I JUST WANT A SAFE VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT WANT TO STALL AT EVERY TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. *TR

I WAS LOADING MY TEN MONTH OLD SON INTO THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE SEAT ON A HOT DAY. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE SUN AND IT WAS 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I PUSHED THE REMOTE START ON MY KEY FOB TO GET THE CAR COOLING OFF WHILE I FINISHED FASTENING MY SON'S HARNESS AND TOSSED THE KEYS ONTO THE PASSENGER SEAT TO FREE MY HANDS. THE CAR DID NOT START BECAUSE I HAD THE DOOR OPEN, HOWEVER THE DOORS DID ALL LOCK. I REALIZED THE DOORS WERE ALL LOCKED WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IMMEDIATELY I RAN BACK INSIDE AND HAD MY MOM CALL 911 WHILE I SPRAYED COLD WATER ON THE CAR WITH A HOSE. EMERGENCY VEHICLES SHOWED UP AND HAD TO BREAK THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IN ORDER TO GET MY SON OUT OF THE CAR. IF THE CAR IS INTUITIVE ENOUGH NOT TO START THE ENGINE WITH A DOOR OPEN IT SHOULD KNOW NOT TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS! *TR
