The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle decelerated and, while releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to a stop, shift into park(P), and restart the vehicle to continue driving. The failure reoccurred and became a persistent failure, and occurred at various speeds or while the vehicle was idling. The check engine warning light was temporarily illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, and metal shavings were found inside the oil pan, which the engine failure. The engine was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact learned that the vehicle was previously included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V552000 (Engine) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired in 2018. The contact called another dealer, Baxter Auto Group (17225 Burt St, Omaha, NE 68118); but the vehicle was not repaired.

The dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced; however, the engine was not replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The vehicle just shuts off while in gear and in motion. Very dangerous. Lights come on (engine light, break light…) for a brief second before it randomly shuts off. It seems like the computer goes out, because on re start, the clock reset to 12:00 and there are no check engine lights on. It has happened several times over the past few hundred miles. An Internet search will show similar problems for other Jeep owners with no resolution. Obviously a defect.

Was driving and the vehicle lost all power just as we were turning to cross a road. We would have made it easily if the power was not cut. The car would not accelerate even when the accelerator was pressed all the way down. We were lucky to avoid being hit. Turns out the throttle body failed. I was told this is a very common problem on Chrysler Jeep 2.0 and 2.4 models

I owned a 2014 Jeep Compass with 63,xxx miles on it. I bought the vehicle brand new. On (3) occasions so far, the engine stalled out immediately after filling the gas tank. It will restart and sputter for 10-15 seconds and then run just fine. On the latest incident, after leaving a gas station after filling up the gas tank, I went to pull out into heavy, busy traffic, the engine stalled out once again. Placing me in a very dangerous situation! Obviously! My research on Jeep forums and other car maintenance websites shows the problem is very likely caused by a bad/defective Rollover Valve. The rollover valve is located inside the gas tank. Apparently, the valve gets triggered off while refilling the gas tank when near full. Noted that the Check Engine Light did not common on. During my research on Jeep Forums and other related Jeep websites, I've noticed the engine stalling issue on many other Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriots.

Vehicle lost oil as a result needs new engine Driver states car shut off during operation would not start Lost oil Had oil change three weeks ago Attempted to put oil in it all ran out

THE ENGINE KEEPS STALLING HAS STALLED WHILE IM DRIVING. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IM AFRAID THAT IM GOING TO HAVE A WRECK.

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 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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE RPMS WOULD GO UP AND DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK, LUNGE FORWARD, AND LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MARLOW HEIGHTS (5060 AUTH WAY, CAMP SPRINGS, MD 20746, (301) 423-5111) WAS CONTACTED AND A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,716.

WHEN IN MOTION, WHEN BRAKING TO ALLOW A VEHICLE IN FRONT TO TURN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE HESITATES AND LURCHES FRONT TO BACK NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE RESUMING ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURS AT HIGHWAY AND CITY SPEEDS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO SENSORS OR ISSUES FOUND.

MY JEEP COMPASS WANT TO STALL WHEN I PRESS THE GAS! IT HAS BEEN DOING IT NOW FOR 2 DAYS AND IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT DID ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK ON A HIGHWAY YESTERDAY! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS AND SIDE ROADS. THE CAR HAS NOT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY BUT IT WANTS TO AND WHEN IN DOES IT CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK AND LOSE SPEED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ABS BRAKING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND AVOID ACCIDENTS. ONCE I'M ABLE TO STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT WILL RESTART AND DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR CODES IN THE COMPUTER THAT IDENTIFY AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK IN ALL TEMPETURES AND CONDITIONS.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE WHEN IT LOST POWER, TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED ANOTHER MOTOR CAUSE 2 CYLINDERS WERE GETTING COMPRESSION WHICH MEANS NO POWER... IT WILL ONLY GET UP TO 2500 RPMS AND LOSES POWER, NO START POWER AND NO POWER UP HILLS AT ALL

DRIVING THE CAR AND IT JUST STOPPED ENGINE JUST DIED THEN RESTARTED
