2012 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, CARS ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WOULD TRY TO START IT, SOMETIMES IT WOULD START BACK UP AGAIN I WOULD DRIVE IT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF AND SLOWLY STOP MOVING. CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ENGINE CODE P0335 AND P0339 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTION/INTERMITTENT. WITHIN THE SAME WEEK OF HAVING IT REPLACED, NOW I'M HAVING ISSUES FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. GAS PUMP STOPS FILLING EVERY 0.2 GALLONS AND CLICKS. TRIED MOVING THE GAS PUMP IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS BUT STILL WON'T FILL. GAS ENDS UP BUBBLING AND OVERFLOWS EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS ONLY AT A QUARTER TANK. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH JEEP COMPASSES. IT'S EITHER THE FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE OR NEED TO GET THE WHOLE GAS TANK REPLACED.

VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE IN DRIVEWAY.*DT CONTACT STATED THE INSPECTOR WHO INSPECTED THE JEEP SAID FIRE WAS DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD CONTINUE TO CLICK OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PORT JEFFERSON JEEP (RT 347, PORT JEFFERSON, NY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TRANSFER LINE AND FUEL TANK WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I PUT GASOLINE 1DOLLAR AND STOP LIKE FUELING BUT NO REAL .. FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE MAY CAUSE STALL

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. COMPONENT ENDED UP BEING A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CAR DID NOT THROW ANY CODES FOR APPROX 4 MONTHS TO HELP DETERMINE THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE RECREATED EASILY. EVENTUALLY A CODE SHOWING A FAILED COMPUTER AND FAILING TRANSMISSION CAME UP. FURTHER RESEARCH SUGGESTED REPLACING THIS COMPONENT.

TWO HOURS INTO HIGHWAY DRIVING, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 MPH. TOOK THE NEAREST EXIT AND COOLED DOWN AND MADE THE REST OF THE TRIP WITHOUT PROBLEM.

UPON DOING A TOTAL FILL UP OUR JEEP, IT IS NOW STALLING AND I END UP WITH NO STEERING. THIS DOES IT AT LEAST 4/5 TIMES EACH TIME WE FILL FUEL TANK UP. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS UNABLE TO STEER AND ENTIRE ENGINE SHUTS DONE. THIS HAS DONE THIS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER GETTING FUEL, IF NOT LESS, AND TURNING ONTO A BUSY STREET WHERE JEEP STOPPED RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BOTH TURNING ONTO BUSY STREET AND WHILST DRIVING ON BUSY STREET.

THE VEHICLE JERKS ON ACCELERATION OR LOSES POWER AND THE ENGINE BUCKS AND SPUTTERS WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN ROLLING UP WINDOWS WHILE STATIONARY THE LIGHTS DIM OR ENGINE SPUTTERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. ONLY RECENTLY HAS IS SCARED ME BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT TO PULL OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IN CHANTILLY, VA THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. MY PASSENGER SEATBELT GETS STUCK AFTER BEING ENGAGED. I HAD IT REPLACED IN FALL 2012 AT A DEALERSHIP IN WOODBRIDGE, VA. I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THE NEW DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT ALREADY WAS IN 2012.

WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED DURING HOT WEATHER AND A/C ON THE TRANSMISSION OVER TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN. I PULL OFF THE PAVEMENT TO ALLOW THE TRANNY TO COOL. TRUCKS AND CARS JAM TO THE LEFT LANE TO OBEY THE LAW. CARS JAMB UP AND SOMETIME A TIRE SQUEAL HAPPENS. I TALK TO JEEP AND THEY SAY BECAUSE THAT CONDITION IS DESCRIBED IN THE MANUAL IT DOES NOT WARRANT A FIX BY THE ADDED WARRANTY COMPANY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND MY SAFETY NEXT TO THE STALLED CAR IS DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, ALWAYS WHEN DRIVING DURING HOT WEATHER ON HIGHWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.
