2008 Jeep Compass Engine Problems

BALANCE SHAFT MODULE HAS LEFT METAL IN OUR OIL.IT WENT BAD CAUSING OUR ENGINE TO GO DEAD WHILE WE WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE.

CAR HAS ~79,000 MILES. IT STALLS AFTER FILLING UP EVERY TIME. AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINS OF KEEPING THE IDLE UP BY PUSHING THE GAS THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY. I'VE READ THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS LINE OF VEHICLES (INCLUDING PATRIOT).

WHINING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE OVER 65 MPH. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION BEFORE. DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE JEEP COMPASS. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED TRANSMISSION OIL LIGHT CAME ON. COULDN'T MOVE IN THE GEARS. HAD TO PULL OVER FOR A 1 HR TO LET CAR COOL OFF. LATER DROVE TO MY MECHANIC. NO CODE FOUND. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HE TOLD THAT THESE 2008 JEEP COMPASS HAVE BAD TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND THEY GO OUT AROUND 130,000 TO 145,000. I NEED NEW FLUID, TRANSMISSION COOLER, ADJUSTMENT BUT I OPTED TO JUST GET THE A NEW TRANSMISSION SINCE THAT IS A BAD DESIGN FOR THAT PARTICULAR MODEL. MANUFACTURER SHOULD OPEN A RECALL ON THESE JEEPS. THE LOCATION WHERE I TOOK MINE ALREADY HAD SEVERAL IN FOR REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING AND ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. JUNE 18,2014 DRIVING AND ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. JULY 10,2014 DRIVING AND ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. JULY 29,2014 DRIVING AND ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. AUGUST 6,2014 DRIVING AND ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. AUGUST 16,2014. THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!! I WAS ON A FOUR LANE AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. EVERYONE WAS PUTTING ON BREAKS AND HONKING THEIR HORNS AT ME. I HIT THE EMERGENCY FLASHER FAST HAVING GETTING TO KNOW WHERE IT WAS FROM THE OTHER TIMES I STALLED OUT OF THE BLUE! IT IS A WONDER I WASN'T KILLED. WHAT IS WRONG WITH JEEP ALL OF THEIR CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED PERIOD. THIS IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY AND THEY WILL BE PICKING IT UP. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE! *TR

I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, AT THAT POINT MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. *TR
