VEHICLE STARTED STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHEN DRIVING. NO ERROR CODE IS RECORDED IN CAR. NO CHECK ENGINE OR OTHER LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH. THERE ARE MANY BLOGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WHEN I CONTACTED FIAT (JEEP) THEY HAD NO SOLUTION. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SOME TYPE OF RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER IS NEEDED WITH A SOLUTION. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THREE MONTHS.

THIS 2015 JEEP COMPASS HAS HAD MULTIPLE DEFECTS UNTIL NOW: 1. IN AROUND MID 2015, THE 4 WHEELS LIGHT KEPT TURNING ON AND NOT ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF, THEN I SENT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT, WHICH COST ME A FEW HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE ELECTRIC WIRE WITHIN THE ENGINE BOX WAS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. 2. AT THE END OF 2017, THE CAR WAS SUDDENLY SHAKING HEAVILY AND JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING, AND A CONTINUOUS MUFFLED AND HOLLOW SOUND CAME OUT FROM THE ENGINE BOX. AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. I SENT IT TO THE DEALER FOR A FIX, AND THE FEE WAS PAID BY THE DEALER THEMSELVES. LATER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOR MY CAR. 3. IN THE MID OF 2020, THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT FROM THE PARK(A SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK) WHEN IT WAS IN THE SURFACE PARKING OF MY APARTMENT. SO I HAD TO SEND IT TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE A FIX, WHICH COST ME A FEW HUNDRED MORE DOLLARS, AND SOME OF ITS ELECTRIC WIRED WITHIN THE ENGINE BOX WAS REPLACED.

WHEN RIDING CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY ENGINE SOMETIMES JERK AND STALLS. NO WARNING AND NO LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPEN OVER 10 TIMES IN THE LAST FIVE MONTHS. CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS REPLACED AUGUST 2018 DUE TO ENGINE STALLING AND WOULDN'T CRANK.

CAR STALLS\STOPS WHILE DRIVING WHETHER DRIVING STRAIGHT OR MAKING TURNS. VERY DANGEROUS.

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 WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 ON CHRISTMAS EVE WITH MY PARTNER AND OUR DOG WHEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT IT WAS TERRIFYING DUE TO THE ABRUPTNESS OF THE STALL AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND US STILL GOING A NORMAL SPEED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS PRIOR AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE CPS. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED ON CHARGING $305 FOR THE PART AND LABOR. OVERALL, THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH JEEP DUE TO THE TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE PRICE GOUGING BY THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL BE WORKING TO SELL THIS JEEP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING AS OF THE LAST WEEK. LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. IT HAPPENS AT A COMPLETE STOP OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS ENTERING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE THIS WAS PURCHASED AS THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. BUT WHEN THEY RAN MY VIN THEY TOLD ME THEY MADE A MISTAKE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE!!! MY DEALER MADE THE ISSUE EVEN WORSE, FINALLY THEY SUPPOSEDLY MADE SOME UPDATES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THINKING THE ISSUE WAS ALL SET. WRONG THE FOLLOWING DAY I HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. HOW DO I GET MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP COMPASS. AFTER THE CONTACT PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, SHE WAS ALERTED BY SOMEONE THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT. ALSO, THE CONTACT COULD REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AFTERWARDS WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,533.

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.
