2014 Jeep Compass Complaint Log

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE. BACK IN 2017, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR JERKING, CUTTING OUT, AND LOSING POWER. TOOK CAR TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2020, VEHICLE STARTED LOSING ABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY ACCELERATE. CAR BEGAN JERKING, CUTTING OUT, AND LOSING POWER ON THE ROADS AND HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE THROTTLE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THROTTLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. REPORTED TO JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. JEEP DOESN'T CARE AND IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY UNTIL A RECALL HAS TO BE ISSUED.

REPEATEDLY RECEIVING ERROR CODE U0401

ON MARCH 4, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN WARM-UP PHASE AT HOME, IN IDLE, A SHARP SNAP WAS HEARD (LATER DISCOVERED WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY), THEN VEHICLE SET TWO CODES (P0171, P2173), AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO LIMP MODE (TRACTION CONTROL OFF, THROTTLE BODY REDUCED POWER, ABS FOR SLOWING VEHICLE IF BEING DRIVEN ABOVE SLOWER SPEEDS FOR LIMP MODE). WE WERE ON A SCHEDULE, SO VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY AND WE USED OUR OTHER VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT. BOTH CODES WERE RESEARCHED TO DETERMINE BEST REPAIR METHODS. SINCE THE P0171 WAS A REPEAT CODE, AND THE P2173 WAS AN UNFAMILIAR SAE CODE NOT NORMALLY USED ON MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES, A COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY OF THE INTAKE WAS WARRANTED. I AM MECHANICALLY COMPETENT DUE TO TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE AND KNOW MY OWN LIMITS OF COMPETENCY AND TOOLS FOR REPAIR. HERE ARE THE BASICS FOR REFERENCE OF WHAT WAS FOUND. 1. THE PCV VALVE (MULTIAIRE) HAD FAILED AT THE INTERNAL PINTLE, AND WAS ALLOWING CRANKCASE AIR/OIL TO ENTER THE INTAKE AT TOO HIGH A VOLUME. IT WAS REPLACED. THE MAP SENSOR SET THE P2173 CODE, THEN FAILED DUE TO OIL INTRUSION AND WAS REPLACED. THE RAPID SNAPPING OF THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER PRESSURE UNCALIBRATED THE INTERNAL THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS, AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER POSITION WAS REPLACED. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (NEWER DESIGN FOR THE 2.0L I4 WITHOUT THE FLAPPER CONTROLS JUST GUIDE VEINS FOR THE INTAKE AIR) MAIN GASKET HAD SHRUNK IN THE PLASTIC INTAKE SEAT CHANNEL AND WAS ALLOWING OUTSIDE AIR (P0171) TO SEEP PAST THE GASKET ON THE LOWER LIP OF THE GASKET, AND WAS ALSO NOT SEALING BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS (GASES WERE TRANSFERRING BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS). THE THROTTLE BODY GASKET WAS PRISTINE. DURING REPAIR, PRESSURE TESTED INTAKE FOR LEAKS, AND TUBES AND LINES FOR CRACKS. READING SAE CODE P2173 WAS DETERMINED THAT CODE AND SUBSEQUENT LIMP MODE WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD. IT WORKED.*DT CONSUMER STATED THE REASON FOR GASKET NOT SEALING, BLOW BY-GASES FROM ONE CYLINDER TO ANOTHER. CYLINDER HEAD WAS CHECK AND PLASTIC INTAKE FOR WARPING, THEY WERE FINE. Vehicle was just inspected and passed PA State Emissions and is performing properly since the repairs. The PCV valve is still suspected as the culprit to the failures, and they have been difficult to procure in the secondary market, except OEM. Consumer still replacing the valve at 20K miles just to be sure it does not fail in service.*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THROTTLE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, MY VEHICLE THEN LOSES ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS PASS BY WITH MY CAR BEING FINE AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME MY CAR WONT START BACK AT ALL. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHERE I PAID FOR TOWING. VEHICLE WAS LIMP AND WANTED TO STALL. NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW SPARK PLUGS AND THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND THIS THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE ON RECALL ALREADY.

The vehicle will jerk and lose power when accelerating

I HAVE A 2014 KEEP COMPASS WITH A 2.0L ENGINE AND FOR SOME TIME NOW IT HAS BEEN STALLING OUT REALLY BAD AND ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WANTING TO START BUT TODAY ON DECEMBER THE 9TH AT ABOUT 5:30PM OR SO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT A HIGH SPEED OF ABOUT 80MPH WHEN I HAD NOTICED MY CAR WAS TRYING TO GET KINDA HOT SO I TURNED MY HEATER ON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD DROP THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOWN ANY WHICH MIND YOU IT DID NOT BUT INSTEAD I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND ALSO ACCELERATION AS WELL AND WHEN I WOULD GIVE GAS IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT RISE MY RPMS TO EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL SO THE ONLY THING I KNEW TO DO WAS GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WHAT'S CONCERNING ME THOUGH IS THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT WITH A 2.4L ENGINE NOT THE 2.0L BUT WHEN I WAS READING THE RECALL FOR SAID ENGINE TYPE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS APPLIED TO WHAT MY CAR DID TODAY SO I'M WONDERING IF THAT RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE 2.0L ENGINES AS WELL.

THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM, HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL

I WAS DRIVING 35MH WHEN PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED FORWARD FOR NO REASON. NOW I AM VERY WORRIED THE DRIVER'S SIDE COULD DEPLOY FORWARD WHILE DRIVING AND RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE AND DROVE TO HER DESTINATION. THE CONTACT STATED SHE HAD EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUNTINGTON BEACH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 16701 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92647, (714) 841-3999, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,629.

MY 2014 COMPASS HAS CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE/THROTTLE BODY AND OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. 3/2019 HAD A USED CC PUT ON WITH LOCAL MECHANIC (OUT OF POCKET $)- 5/2019 NEW THROTTLE BODY COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY/ 9/2019 INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS REPLACED (OUT OF POCKET $) 12/2019 CC REPLACED PER RECALL PLUS IGNITION COILS REPLACED (OUT OF POCKET $). IT APPEARS AS THOUGHT THIS VEHICLE HAS CONTINUOUS ISSUES RELATED TO THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM.. THROTTLE.. ETC. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER.. SLUGGISH THROTTLE AND RANDOM TIMES, SMELL OF FUEL OR EXHAUST AND JERKING MOTIONS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. THESE ISSUES ARE THE SAME ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE VEHICLE OVER THE YEARS WHILE ADDRESSING THE ABOVE REFERENCED ISSUES. WHILE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.. THE ISSUES HAPPEN MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE PRESENTED MY VEHICLE AT A GENERAL MECHANIC AND A TRANSMISSION SHOP (BOTH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES) AND WITHOUT A FAILURE CODE.. OR AN APPARENT ISSUE AT THE TIME OF ARRIVAL.. RECREATING THE ISSUE IS DIFFICULT. I AM REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE.. AS I AM A SINGLE MOTHER TRYING TO REBUILD MY LIFE AFTER EXPERIENCING JOB LOSS DUE TO COVID19. I AM EMPLOYED AND RELY HEAVILY UPON MY TRANSPORTATION.. CAN I HAVE SOME INSIGHT AS TO WHAT QUALIFIES A VEHICLE FOR CERTAIN RECALLS? I SEE THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED WITH ANY CURRENT RECALLS.. BUT THE ENGINE AND OR FUEL SYSTEM IS DOING THE SAME THING AS PRIOR TO REPAIRING THE CC AND OTHER COMPONENTS THAT WERE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. THE VEHICLE ITSELF WILL EXPERIENCE THE "DRAGGING" ENGINE WHILE AFTER STOPPING AND THEN STARTING AGAIN.. IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND CROSSING INTERSECTIONS. I AM VERY AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL STALL OUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS IT HAS NEARLY HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS.. AS I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF SOME HELP RIGHT NOW.

HAD GOT VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP TRANSMISSION FAILED 1 MONTH AFTER THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION AT NO COST NOW AFTER 14000 MILES TRANSMISSION MAKING NOISES AGAIN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 14000 MILES

FIANCE WAS DRIVING AND BECAME UNCONSCIOUS AND HIT TREE/BUSHES HEAD ON AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DATE OF ACCIDENT 8/27/2020 EST TIME 5PM-5:30PM*DT*JB

THE ACTIVE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT DEPLOYED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF - THE PLASTIC CLIPS INTENDED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE IN RESTING POSITION SNAPPED AND THE HEADREST IS UNABLE TO BE RESET. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME.

PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH NOBODY IN THE VEHICLE. UNABLE TO RESET AS THE CLIPS ARE BROKEN, AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY SPEED WITH THE PEDAL FLOORED. THE CAR STARTED MAKING LOUD NOISES FROM ENGINE AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH IS THE MIL LIGHT, ALSO THE ESC LIGHT,I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE OF IT DRIVING FINE SPEED LIMIT AND THEN DOWN TO LESS THAN 5 MPH ON A VERY BUSY STREET AND INTERSECTION. THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE AS I HAD IT IN THE SHOP A MONTH AGO FOR ANOTHER MALFUNCTION. I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH AND SUDDENLY IT JUST LOST ALL COMPRESSION TO LESS THAN 5 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY PULL OVER TO AN AREA THAT HAD NO SHOULDER SO I WAS HALF IN THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. READ THE MANUAL AND SAID TO CYCLE THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE IF BETTER. IR WASN'T BETTER,AND NOW TRYING TO GO INTO REVERSE, PEDAL TO THE GROUND IT CREEPS 1 TO 2 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR LOST SPEED TO 20 MPH. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER GOT OUT MY MANUAL AND IT SAID TO PUT IN PARK AND TURN OFF CAR. CYCLE? IT AND TRY TO START AGAIN. IT WORKED FOR THE NEXT 5 MILES AND DID IT AGAIN. AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED PUTTING OUT COOL AIR. I DROVE HOME AT 20 MPH

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW AND I THOUGHT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. NOW I'M HAVING MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT SHOWING AND MY CAR JUMPS AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE WHEN I'M AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. IT ALSO JUMPS WHILE I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS GOTTEN DRASTICALLY WORSE OVER TIME AND I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE LOOKED INTO.

AS I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY MY VEHICLE JUST RANDOMLY STALLED OUT ON ME AND AFTER SEARCHING I FIND THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT LEAD TO A RECALL. MY VEHICLE AT TIMES WILL SHUTTER/HESITATE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT WHICH IS ALSO DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS ISSUE WAS PROPERLY RESOLVED WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER SUPPOSEDLY HAD IT FIXED

WHILE DRIVING THE ESC MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND LOSS OF POWER. HAPPENED AGAIN AND ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER FOR ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP CONTINUES TO STALL AND STUTTER AND GIVES OFF MULTIPLE ERROR CODES. I GET MY 4 WHEEL TURNED ON, ABS, FUEL PUMP, AND AN ELECTRICAL CODE THAT IS A LIGHTING BOLT IN A SET OF PARENTHESIS. THIS IS HAPPENING EACH TIME I AM DRIVING AND THE CAR SLOWS TO ABOUT 10 MPH THEN BEGINS TO STOP DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE REPEATEDLY GOT MY CAR SENT TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR SCREECHING TRANSMISSION & BRAKES. EVERY TIME NO ONE CAN FIND AN ISSUE AND THE NEXT DAY THE NOISES WILL COME BACK AGAIN. RECENTLY ONCE AGAIN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I HAVE CONSTANTLY STATED THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF BUYING THIS CAR, BUT NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING SO EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH THE CAR APPARENTLY. ITS NOT SAFE DO SOMETHING & I'VE FILLED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND GOTTEN NO RESPONSE. RECENT INCIDENT: THE CAR IS CURRENTLY WAS STATIONARY WHEN I TRIED TURNING ON MY CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PAST INCIDENTS: I WAS IN MOTION ON A 40MPH ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THE REPAIR SHOP TOOK A CRANK PIECE OUT BUT THAT'S NOT MAIN PROBLEM SINCE 2 WEEKS LATER MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO TURN ON.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR.*JB

THE CONNECTION FROM THE GAS TO THE THROTTLE APPEARS TO BE FAILING. THE CAR WILL STAY ON WHILE DRIVING BUT WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE OR WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE. AFTER IT HAPPENS, THE THROTTLE LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE SOUND DISAPPEARED. A DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

BOTH ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT. APPEARS TO BE UNDER INVESTIGATION ON OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS IS ONE OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL OWNED VEHICLES. I AM THE FLEET SPECIALIST FOR LOUDOUN COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. *TR

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP COMPASS SPORT 2.0. I PURCHASES IT IN 2016 USED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AMONG HEAVY TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOP IMMEDIATELY. THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. NOW, THE SHOP IS SAYING I NEED A CVT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAT 6 YEARS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY ON THE INTERSTATE. PLEASE HELP!!! MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT OR HAD AN ACCIDENT FROM IT STOPPING LIKE IT DID.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. I WAS GOING DOWN A 45MPH ROAD AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION METER NEEDLE RISES AND THEN DROPS TO 0. MY CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. I TRY TO TURN IT ON BUT IT MAKES A SOUND WITH NO START. EVENTUALLY AFTER ABOUT 5MIN IT STARTS UP AGAIN & I HIT THE GAS PEDDLE TO ONLY GET SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY COMES ON. THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME & I RECENTLY GOT IT CHECK BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS FINE BUT I KNOW ITS NOT MY GUT IS SAYING THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL JEEP HAD DOWN ON THIS CAR BACK IN 2014. THERE ARE ARTICLES ALL ABOUT IT AND I TRIED EXPLAINING TO THEM BUT I GUESS CAUSE ITS A LOT OF WORK AND MONEY NO ONE WANTS TO OPEN THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING SOUND DETECTED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR, CROSS MEMBER, FRONT END, AIR CONDITIONING CONDUCTOR, BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR AND BOLTS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED KIRKWOOD AUTOWORX (7321 ROSEVILLE RD #9, SACRAMENTO, CA 95842) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) AND POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN

AFTER FUELING UP THE JEEP AND DRIVING AWAY, THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO I DOUBT IT IS THE FUEL ITSELF. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED IT DIDN'T DO THE JERKING/STALLING AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS.

HEADREST POPPED LOOSE WITHOUT IMPACT

I WAS DRIVING GOING ABOUT 45 WHEN MY JEEP OUT OF NOWHERE STOPPED AND WOULDN'T GO FAST THEN 20MPH. SO THEN I GOT A CODE READER AND IT SAID IT WAS THE POWERTRAIN. WHICH MAKES THEN ENGINE NOT WANT TO GO.

I BOUGHT THIS 2014 COMPASS IN DECEMBER 2019 THE TREAD ON THE VEHICLE'S GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRES ( 205/70R/16 LOOKED GOOD BUT FROM THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT I WAS CONSTANTLY PUTTING AIR IN BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I BOUGHT THE COMPASS AS IS FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO OF COURSE THEY WOULD CHECK THEM AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS OR WHATNOT BUT FOR A RIDICULOUS PRICE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I DO HAVE A WARRANTY THAT I BOUGHT BUT COVERS VERY LITTLE, EVEN HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GALLON OF GAS IF I RUN OUT BECAUSE IT ONLY COVERS THE CALL OUT TO BRING ME A GALLON. ANY WHO, I CANNOT AFFORD NEW TIRES OR THE AMOUNT TO HAVE A PLACE TO LOOK AT THEM, SO I WAS VERY ANAL ABOUT CHECKING MY TIRES LIKE A CRACKHEAD LOOKING FOR CHANGE ON THE GROUND. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO SEE THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT SO I AIRED IT UP AT THE HOUSE AND PROCEEDED TO CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH THE OL SOAPY H2O AND FOUND A SMALL LEAK ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE, I CHECKED TO SEE ABOUT REPLACING IT AND AFTER I FINISHED HYPERVENTILATING AT THE PRICE, WHICH BTW WAS MORE THAN MY CAR NOTE, I PUT FIX A FLAT IN IT TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE SO THAT I COULD SAVE UP TO REPLACE 1 SINGLE TIRE INSTEAD OF SELLING MY KIDNEY ON THE DARK WEB. WELP AS SOON AS I GOT THAT DONE THE BACK TIRE DECIDED TO BE A JERK AND KEEP DEFLATING EVERYDAY. GOT THE SOAPY H2O AND FOUND NOTHING JUST LIKES TO GO FLAT. I STARTED LOOKING AT THE TIRES SO THAT I COULD SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE ME TO SELL A KIDNEY IN ORDER TO REPLACE 2 TIRES NOW AND I NOTICED THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE MULTIPLE BUBBLES ON THE OUTSIDE SIDE WALLS. TOOK EACH TIRE OFF CHECKING FOR SEPARATION OF BELTS AND YEP IT'S NOT ROCKET APPLIANCE, ALL 4 TIRES ARE BUBBLING. YET I'M SURE JUST BY SEEING THE MANUFACTURER'S REPLIES( THERE AREN'T ANY) AND THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS GET THE POOP END OF THE STICK THAT I WILL BE SELLING MY KIDS KIDNEY'S TOO JUST TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES.

IT TAKES 20 MINUTES TO PUT A FEW GALLONS OF GAS IN. THE GAS PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED, AND THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT CANNOT BE SERVICED. MILEAGE APPROX. 40,000. DEALER SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN 2 UPDATES/REDESIGNS OF THE GAS TANK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT PROVIDE REPAIR ASSIST BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

THIS CAR I BOUGHT ON 9-/14/2019 HAD AN OPEN RECALL ON IT FOR A CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS COMPLETED. I NOW FIND OUT IT IS NOT AND THE CAR WILL NOT HO OVER 20MPH. I HAVE AN APPT WITH THE DEALER WHO IS OVER 30 MILES VIA INTERSTATE AND IT HAS TO BE TOWED I DONT HAVE TOW INSURANCE AND IT WILL COST OVER200 TO GET IT THERE WILL I BE REIMBURSED.

ENGINE OVERHEATING, SLIDING TURNS, BRAKES MAKE NOISE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY & ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED STALLING. I COULDN'T DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN 30MPH. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. HOW IS THIS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL? I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLUS THERE WAS A RECALL DONE IN 2013 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALL SO WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

MY ETC LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS LSITTING AT A STOP LIGHT .COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, LET IT SIT FOR A MINTUE AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. BUT THEN AFTER A FEW MORE MINUTES OF DRIVING IT HAPPENED AGAIN

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 11/15/2019, PRIOR TO THAT WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THERE WAS A BAD FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. SUDDENLY TODAY THE ENGINE WAS VERY QUIET TO THE POINT OF NOT KNOWING IT WAS ON. AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON CHRYSLER CARS AND I WOULD LIKE MY CAR TO BE FIXED DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR IN PRODUCING A EFFICIENT VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND EMISSIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR MY JEEP COMPASS LOSS POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT, ETC LIGHT ESC LIGHT ALL CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS IN TURN IMMEDIATELY DROPPED MY SPEED DOWN TO 20 MILES PER HOUR.

MY TRUCK STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON I-75. I TRIED TO RESTART IT, AND IT CAME ON BUT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SIGNAL AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SIGNAL WAS FLASHING. THE TRUCK WOULDN'T GO OVER 20 MPH, AND THE SIGNALS NEVER WENT OFF.

DRIVING ON I70 & I81 GOING 70MPH ENGINE LOSES POWER. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED SEEMED FINE BUT DOES THIS OUT OF THE BLUE AND DEALER CAN'T MIMIC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. RIVER FRONT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (200 HANSEN BLVD, NORTH AURORA, IL 60542, (630) 907-1700) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 80 IN THE PASSING LANE MY 2014 JEEP COMPASS LATTITUDE 2.4L SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT STOPPED. I TURNED OFF THE KEY AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES SO FAR. THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT SOMETIMES IT GOES WEEKS WITHOUT HAPPENING.

DIFFERENT VIN ON LABELS WHICH IS [XXX] AND ON THE BODY UNDER SEAT WHICH IS [XXX].*DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*JB

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. IT LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF PLASTIC BROKE AND IT SPURN APART

PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING.

2014 JEEP COMPASS SPORT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT IN 2017, UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER DUE TO MAKING A LOT OF NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AS OF 8/24/19, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. VEHICLE NOW HAS 122,896 MILES ON IT. JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT IN 2017, THAT THIS DID NOT EXTEND WARRANTY AND I MAY HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR UNLESS JEEP DECIDES TO GIVE GOOD WILL SERVICE. I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD, NOW 71, AND HAVE NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION FAIL, CLUTCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON VEHICLES IN THE PAST AT AROUND 150,000 MILES, BUT NEVER A TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY JEEP HAS A PROBLEM WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS?? DON'T THINK THREE TRANSMISSION IN 122, 896 MILES IS ANYWHERE NORMAL.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN ALL TEMPERATURES. MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER BRAKING. VEHICLE ALSO LOOSES POWER AND RUNS ROUGH WITHOUT WARNING. AT NO TIME HAVE ANY FAULT CODES TRIPPED.

PASSENGER HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT PROVOCATION WHILE SITTING IN A DRIVEWAY.CLIPS BROKEN SO CANNOT RESET.
