Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)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.
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.
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.
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.
ENGINE, FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL 2014 JEEP COMPASS SPUTTERS AND JERKS, DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING. RANDOMLY CAME ON ALONG WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 10 OR 15 MPH..ONLY GAIN SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. TOWED TO DEALER- THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED,I PURCHASED AS USED VEHICLE, LEFT ME STRANDED ON 1ST DAY.
I'VE TRIED REFUELING MY KEEP. AND NUMEROUS TIMES THE FUEL HAS SHOT BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPILLED ON THE FLOOR AND ALL OVER ME. THOUGHT IT WAS ME AND ASKED A MECHANIC AT ANNADALE SERVICE CENTER IN STATEN ISLAND TO HELP AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. SO OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SERVICE AT ISLAND JEEP CHRYSLER. A DIAGNOSIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FILLER TUBE.
AT 75000 MILES, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SWITCH SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY, LEAVING THE CAR FUNCTIONING IN LIMP MODE, IF YOU TRIED TO GO FASTER THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR IT WOULD BUCK AND KICK AND GOING UP SMALL HILLS YOU WOULD LOOSE ALL POWER. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIS. WAS ON HIGHWAY DOING 60-65 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPPED TO 10
