2015 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

BACK IN JUNE/JULY 2018 MY VEHICLE WOULD KEEP BUCKING WHILE DRIVING AND THE THROTTLE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT WAS SERVICED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 53,000 MILES BUT WAS OVER THE WARRANTY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. WILL THIS BE RECALLED. IT COST ME OVER $500.00 TO FIX THIS. LET ALONE THE DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION WITH IT LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROUTE WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE MY POWER WINDOW UNIT REPLACED. IT GOT STUCK WHILE DOWN. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THEY FIXED IT. BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER WARRANTY WAS OVER AND I WAS CHARGED TO REPLACE MOTOR. IS THIS WHY JEEP ONLY GIVES 3 YEAR WARRANTIES BECAUSE THEIR PARTS AREN'T DESIGNED TO LAST MUCH AFTER THAT.

VEHICLE NOT STARTING, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH, IDLING, SHAKING, RADIO UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED WORKING, VEHICLE NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE 'COMPUTER' ECM

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO BE LOOKED AT AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND AT A LOCAL BODY SHOP. BOTH PLACES CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO PICK UP SPEED, IT STALLS. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES WHEN I AM TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE AND I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND MY JEEP WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED AND STALLS AS WELL. I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GET IT SEMI MOVING. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH JEEP COMPASS RECALLS AND I FOUND THIS - "CHRYSLER IS RECALLING AN ESTIMATED 522 VEHICLES, INCLUDING THE 2014 JEEP COMPASS AND PATRIOT, 2013 DODGE AVENGER AND CHRYSLER 200 EQUIPPED WITH 2.4-LITER ENGINES FOR A POTENTIAL LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ENGINE STALL OR ENGINE FAILURE." I FEEL AS IF MY JEEP HAS THIS SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT THE NORMAL SPEED IT SUDDENLY BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN TO A SNAIL PACE. THE THROTTLE LIGHT AND THE STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON

MY CAR STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING, LUCKY ENOUGH I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WORKED FINE. I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMAND THING TO HAPPEN IN JEEP COMPASS.

A RATTLE NOISE IN THE BACK COMPARTMENT WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING BROKEN INSIDE THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE SERVICE ROAD ABOUT TO ENTER ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MY JEEP HAD THREE CAUTION LIGHTS POP UP ON THE DASHBOARD. NEXT THING I KNOW MY RPMS WERE ALL OVER (LIMP MODE) AND MY CARS POWER STARTED TO STALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAS IN A REALLY BAD SPOT THAT HAD NO SHOULDER. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS WAS QUITE A SCARY SITUATION AND HAD ME FEARING FOR MY SAFETY. I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND SEEMS LIKE QUITE AN OCCURENCE. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP SERVICE STATION AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TO PUT ME ON EMERGENCY LIST FOR LOANER VEHICLE (MIND YOU, I LEASE MY JEEP) AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE BACKED UP IN SERVICE. THAT LOCATION TOLD ME IT WAS A PCM CODE ERROR. I CALLED OTHER SERVICE LOCATIONS AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO TOW IT TO MY HOME STATION IN ORDER TO GET A LOANER. THE CAR SAT FOR OVER A WEEK AND WAS FINALLY LOOKED AT TODAY. I AM NOW TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY JEEP HAS VERY LITTLE WEAR AND ONLY HAS 53,000 MILES. THIS ISSUE IS WAY TOO COMMON TO NOT BE CONSIDERED AS HAZARDOUS.

I STARTED MY 2015 JEEP COMPASS SPORT AND TRIED TO SHIFT OUT PARK INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME SHIFT FOR ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS OR SO. I WAS AT THE STORE READY TO LEAVE FOR HOME.

THE DIP STICK TUBE HAS BROKEN OFF. IT WAS MAKING A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING DRAGGING THE GROUND SO I LOOKED UNDER IT & SAW WHERE THE TUBE WAS BARELY HANGING ON. I WAS NEAR MY HOME WHEN I FOUND THIS.
