2016 Jeep Compass Complaint Log

Vehicle has a slow acceleration ration. I was merging onto the Freeway and pressing on the accelerator, but it does not accelerate. It takes quite sometime to pickup speed, throttle body light has just started coming on along with the check engine light. Purchased Vehicle 8/2021, no acceleration from the beginning. Check engine and Throttle Body light 2-3 weeks ago.

Headrest on passenger side popped without any collision or impact. It just popped. It was very scary. I’m thankful it didn’t cause any injury to anyone. The noise was very loud and happened without warning.

Engine will stall with no warning in the middle of driving it. Has happened multiple times already in the last few days.

This morning (08.20.21) I was driving to work when about 1 mile in I was going 45mph and my car started stalling, causing it to drop to 10mph. The engine light and traction control light are consistently on. The electronic throttle control light is constantly blinking when I have the ignition on. My car has been in limp mode all day and will not go over 10mph. I almost got hit by the car behind me when it happened and almost hit someone else trying to get out of their way. I’ve been looking into it all day and I found that there was a recall “S89” on Jeep Compass 2016 made anytime between May 9, 2016 and July 15, 2016 and which came equipped with 2.0-liter or 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engines. Mine was manufactured July 15, 2016 and is a 2.0-liter.

While backing out of driveway the driver side active head restraint spontaneously deployed hitting my teenager driver in the back of the head.

Vehicle loses power while driving. Has issues with steering, acceleration, brakes.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the engine crankshaft sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The crankshaft sensor was replaced, and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V907000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 60,006

My car is intermittently stalling on idle....

While driving during the work day on a busy street my Jeep Compass stalled out putting myself and others at risk of an accident. No lights or warning signs were visible on the dashboard making this a sudden and scary event. After being it to the dealership they assessed the issue as the crankshaft power sensor, after doing more research I see that this has been an issue as well as a previous recall on other 2016 Jeep Compass’ and feel that now mine should be added to the list as the safety of myself and others were put at risk as a result.

Occasionally, while driving, the vehicle will exhibit catastrophic electrical system failures. I was driving home just last night, and my headlights, turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, dash lights, hazard lights, and cruise control all turned off. I was able to limp it home with the help of someone driving in front of me, because I could not see. Imagine doing 45 mph on a turn at night, in an area with no streetlights, and all of a sudden your headlights and running lights turn off. I'm lucky I didn't hit a tree. No hazards means no one would have seen me on the road waiting for help until it was too late.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly stall with the check engine, electronic throttle control, and other unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the crankshaft position sensor had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V907000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the vehicle was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 28,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED BACK AND FORTH. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS KEEPS STALLING OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS (70,000M). IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES AND JUST STALLS SOMETIME IN THE TOWN AND SOME TIMES ON THE INTERSATE. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY REPLACED ANOTHER KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY (HAD THAT REPLACED ON MY DAUGHTERS 2017 JEEP COMPASS) BUT IT STILL DIDN'T HELP THIS JEEP. REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY TWICE AND THE DEALERS ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO SELL IT. (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON ONCE- AND NO OTHER ALARMS BUT IN A 6 HOUR DRIVE IT HAPPENED 15-20 TIMES. FEARFUL TO PASS A CAR FOR FEAR IT MIGHT STALL AGAIN...

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I TURN ON THE "AIR CONDITIONER" I HEAR THIS AWFUL NOISE COMING OUT OF MY GLOVE BOX AREA, IT WAS SO STARTLING THAT IT TOOK MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AND I HIT A TREE. I HAVE THE SOUND COMING ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CRASHED CAR.

I AM GETTING A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE GLOVE BOX AREA WHEN I TURN ON MY "HEATER" AND "AC" FROM THE CONTROL BUTTON IN THE DASHBOARD AREA. I AM SITTING IN THE CAR AFTER STARTING UP THE CAR AND THEN THERE IS A LOUD CONTINUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. I NEED TO KNOW IS THIS A "RECALL" ISSUE IN THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF JEEP? PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT THIS MEANS IN MY CAR. IS IT DANGEROUS TO ME AS THE OWNER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS IN THIS MATTER.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLING AT A STOP, PARK, GEAR SELECT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE THEN INTERMEDIATELY STALLS

II KEPT MY JEEP COMPASS UP TODATE WITH OLL CHANGES AND BRAKES AND TIRES. I HAVE NOW EXPERINECED A REAL BAD NOISE FROM UNDER THE ENGINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BRAKES OR PULLEY. IT TURNS OUT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A 5 SPEED. I HAVE METAL SHAVING IN MY TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD. I LOVE MY CAR AND NOW IT IS GOING TO COST ME 4000+ TO GET IT FIXED. THERE ARE OTHER WARRANTYS ON THE SAME TYPE OF CARS BUT NOT MINES.

I WAS GOING WEST ON FAIR VIEW AVENUE IN TUCSON, ARIZONA WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE INTO SOMETHING BELOW DRIVE. IT STARTED SHIMMYING BACK AND FORTH AND WOULD NOT PROCEED. I WAS COMING UPON A 4 WAY STOP, SO I FINALLY GOT THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE; IT SEEMED OK. I DROVE VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT--MAYBE 4 OR 5 BLOCKS. HOWEVER, WHEN I TURNED INTO MY GARAGE, THE GEARSHIFT SHIFTED BELOW AGAIN AND MY CAR SHIMMIED OUT OF CONTROL BACK AND FORTH AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR WAS BADLY SCRAPED, AND THE LEFT TAILLIGHT CRACKED. SO, THE FIRST TIME I WAS BRIEFLY STATIONARY WAITING FOR THE CARS AHEAD OF ME TO MOVE, BUT THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN MOTION BUT MOVING VERY SLOWLY TO NEGOTIATE THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARAGE, SO ALMOST STATIONARY. THE GARAGE WAS NOT DAMAGED. I DO NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE THAT CAN TAKE PHOTOS AT THIS TIME, BUT I HOPE TO SECURE A CELL PHONE. THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS INSPECTS MY CAR FOR ITS REGULAR SERVICE, SO THEY MUST HAVE RECORDS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASSES TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AT 96000 MILES. IT HAS THE 2.0L I4 WITH THE CVT, ITS FWD. I WAS TRAVELING AT 35MPH WHEN IT FAILED.

MY CAR POWER TRAIN WENT OUT AS I ONLY HAVE THE CAR FOR 11 MONTHS AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING WELL I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR RPM WAS GOING TO 6

VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND LEAVES MOTORISTS STRANDED. ENGINE STALLS AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RESUME NORMAL POWER BUT HAS A SERIOUS LAG BETWEEN POWER GIVEN AND POWER ACCEPTED BY ENGINE (2-5 SECS). POSSIBILITY FOR COLLISION IS GREAT AND POSSIBILITY FOR BEING LEFT STRANDED IS GREAT. BATTERY AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED.

CAR LOST POWER THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. TWICE WHILE DRIVING, ONE OF THOSE TIMES WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE THIRD TIME WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE ROADWAY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,500.

RADIO STOPS WORKING WHEN IT WANTS AND THEN COMES BACK ON, BUT ONLY A FEW STATIONS END UP WORKING THEN AFTER. ONLY WANTS TO WORK 40% OF THE TIME. HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER SHIP YET. ALSO THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THERE IS AN ACTUALLY PASSENGER IN THE SEAT SAYS THERE IS NOT AND THE JEEP DINGS THE WHOLE CAR RIDE, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BUCKLED UP. THE CAR THINKS THAT THEY ARE NOT.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, PULLED OVER TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES TURNED MY VEHICLE BACK ON JUST CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. AFTER WORK THAT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF... RPMS HAD BEEN FLUCTUATING RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT A WEEK.. GOT IN MY CAR THIS MORNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND TRACTION CONTROL COMES AND GOES. NUMEROUS VEHICLES MADE BY FCA THAT HAVE THE 2.4 ENGINE ACROSS THE BOARD HAVE MULTIPLE THROTTLE BODY ISSUES CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN.

ALL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND DINGING WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO VEHICLES DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AND RPMS JUMPING UP AND DOWN.

ALL OF MY LIGHTS CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE THEN CAR WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE WIRING HARNESSES & ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH MY AIRBAGS BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS ON. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT ABOUT 30-40MPH. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME AND BE ABLE TO PARK MY CAR AND I WAS FORTUNATE I WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. IT'S LIKE MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BUT I STILL HAD POWER. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OFF ONTO THE SIDE WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED MY CAR HAD JUST SHUT OFF. I TRIED RESTARTING IT THREE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT STARTED. I TESTED IT AND IT WAS RUNNING SO I TRIED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT INSTANTLY SHUT OFF AGAIN THIS TIME THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY STEERING AND JUST ROLLED BACKWARDS. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE I HAD SUFFICIENT GAS AND OIL. MY CAR GETS SERVICED REGULARLY AND I'VE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL NOW. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE I HAVE FOUND OTHER RECALLS ON THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL FOR ENGINE FAILURE! WHERE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO OTHERS.

I WAS IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION ON 9/24/2020. THE CAR IS BEING INSPECTED FOR REPAIRS NOW AND I AM DEALING WITH THE INSURANCE CLAIM AT THIS TIME. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF AT A SPEED OF 35-40 MPH, STRIKING THE VEHICLE THAT WAS AT-FAULT, AND THEN A METAL POLE. FORTUNATELY DID NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER WITH ME.

ON TUESDAY, 9/15/2020 I WENT TO TURN ON MY JEEP COMPASS FROM MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD NOT START. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LATER THAT EVENING I TRIED STARTING MY JEEP AGAIN, IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW OFF. ON FRIDAY, 6/18/2020 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ADVANCED AUTO WHERE THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER - ALL 3 ITEMS CAME BACK GOOD. ON MY WAY HOME FROM ADVANCED AUTO I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON SOUTH RAILROAD STREET IN PALMYRA, PA. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN FOR ME TO GO, I WENT TO RELEASE MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF - IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY DEAD, NOTHING WAS WORKING. I THEN WENT TO PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE BRAKE, AND I FELT PRESSURE UNDERNEATH THE BRAKE THAT WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO COMPLETELY PRESS IT DOWN. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TURNING MY KEY AND RESTARTING THE CAR, AND IT TURNED BACK ON AND I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. ON MONDAY, 9/21/2020 I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO LADD-HANFORD IN LEBANON, PA. ON 9/22/2020 KELSEY SHELLEHAMER CALLED ME FROM LADD-HANFORD TO INFORM ME THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS FAULTY, THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS FOR THE SAME MODEL BUT JUST NOT MY YEAR, SO SHE WAS GOING TO CALL CHRYSLER AND SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT ANYWAY. ON 9/23/2020 I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM KELSEY. SHE STATED THAT SHE SPOKE TO CHRYSLER, THEIR WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AND ALSO MVP, ALL OF WHICH DECLINED RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THE PART.

CAR WILL NOT START, HAS POWER BUT NO TURNOVER, NO CRANK. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, HAVE HAD BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED, IGNITION AND KEYS BUT NO CODES KICKING OUT. DEALER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE HOWEVER NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. THERE ISN'T A SPECIFIC TIME OR REASON IT JUST HAPPENS. SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST SHUT IT OFF AND TRY AGAIN AND IT STARTS AND SOMETIMES IT LETS ME SIT FOR 15 - 30 MIN BEFORE IT STARTS. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE NO CLUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER I PUT GAS IN THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WE CHECKED EVERYTHING CANNOT FIGURE OUT ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON SO WE TOOK THE BATTERY OUT PUT IT BACK IN AND RESET THE LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT. ROUGHLY 3 OR 4 DAYS AFTER THAT IT WAS MORNING IT WAS MISTY THE ROADS WERE WET I WENT ABOUT 5 BLOCKS TOOK A RIGHT TURN WENT ANOTHER 5 BLOCKS TOOK A LEFT TURN AND ALL THE SUDDEN ANTI SKID LIGHTS CAME ON THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR HAD NO POWER. SOI PULLED IT OVER AND WE HAD IT TOWED HOME I HAD A DIAGNOSTICS TEST IN IT'S C1221 I BELIEVE WAS THE CODE WE HAVE NOT DRIVE IT SINCE.

THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING FIVE TIMES WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 8-24-20 AND 8-30-20.THE RPM'S WENT TO 0 AND NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I SPOKE TO TYLER AT LA PORTE CHRYSLER IN LA PORTE, IN AND SET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. A S89 RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED, BUT AN INCOMPLETE RECALL HAD BEEN PERFORMED. ONLY TWO OF THREE WIRING HARNESSES HAD BEEN REPLACED. THEY STILL HAVE MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT NOT KNOWING WHEN OR WHERE IT MAY STALL. IT STALLED UNDER A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, BUSY THOROUGHFARE OR AT THE ATM.

SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING THEN DIFFICULT STARTING AGAIN

TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS AND THEN STALLS OUT WHEN IT IS WARM OUT. THE DEALERSHIPS I HAVE GONE TO SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP COMPASS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ACT UP FOR THEM. NORMALLY MAKE IT 45 MINUTES IN SUMMER BEFORE IT OVER HEATS. CANT KEEP CAR OVER 2,000 RMP IN SUMMER OR TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT EVEN FASTER. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MANY TIME OVER THE LAST 2 SUMMERS. NON-DEALERSHIPS WONT LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY SAY THAT THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO FIX IT.

CAR WILL NOT START MAKES CLICKING NOISES. HAVE ALL POWER, LIGHTS, RADIO, AIR CONDITIONING BUT WONT CRANK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT MIGHT BE THE KEY FOB SO GOT A NEW ONE. WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND IS STARTING AGAIN. THE AUTO START WILL START IT BUT WHEN I PUT THE KEY ON AND PUT IT IN THE ON POSITION IT SHUTS DOWN. IF I LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT IT STARTS.SOMETIMES IT DOESNT HAPPEN FOR A WEEK OR TWO, SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. I DONT WANT IT CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING THE BUSY ROADS I HAVE TO TRAVEL ON.

THE CAR HAS BEEN TO MULTIPLE JEEP DEALERSHIPS AND IT KEEP STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN BUT NO PROBLEMS FOUND. IT HAS SHUT DOWN IN TRAFFIC! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE DAYS. WE HAVE CHECKED RECALLS AND NONE APPLY TO THE JEEP. I HAVE TWO SMALL A KIDS AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

THE SEAT BELT LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGE TO PROPERLY RESTRAIN. IT COMES UNDONE WITH VERY LITTLE FORCE OR PULLING.

WHEN THE VECHILE IS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE MOTOR WILL JUST STALL WE WILL HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN START IT AGAIN AND IT WILL BE FINE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT I HAVE HAD IT A YEAR AND IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND WE JUST HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING IT

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE 110S FROM THE 10E, THE ENGINE TURNED ITSELF OFF. I WAS GOING ALMOST 60 MPH. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED INTO PLACE AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW, PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO STEER EFFECTIVELY. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR - MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND MY 7 YEAR OLD SON. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET ONTO A SHOULDER COMPLETELY AS I COULDN'T STEER. I TURNED THE KEY INTO THE ENGINE OFF POSITION, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED THE ENGINE OVER. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR SEVERAL DAYS LATER - I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF A NEW CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND TWO CAM SHAFT SENSORS - THAT ALL THREE SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. I CALLED JEEP, AFTER A FRIEND SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE ON 2016 JEEP COMPASSES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR'S VIN DID NOT MATCH THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED DESPITE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT WORK WHEN MY HEADREST JUST EXPLODED AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. I HADN'T HIT ANYTHING OR STOP SUDDENLY I WAS JUST PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I HEARD A POP AND THEN GOT HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM THE HEADRESTS.

THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING SOMETIMES. THERE WASN'T ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANYTHING. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE CRANKCASE SENSOR. I SAW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHERE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

OUR VEHICLE ACTS AS IF IT HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, RADIO NO LONGER WORKS BUT CLOCK DOES, ENGINE CRACK SHAFT MAKES IT HARD FOR VEHICLE TO START. CAR WAS CHECKED FOR BATTER, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER AND CHECK OUT ALL GOOD. IT STRUGGLES TO START JUST STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO. IT TAKES ALOT TO BUILD SPEED SOMETIMES AND STALLS SOMETIMES ACTING AS IF IT WANTS TO CUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS NOTIFIED WHILE IN A STORE THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INTERVIEWED THE CONTACT AND FILED A REPORT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE WRECKAGE WAS TOWED AWAY TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. *DT

ABS 4WHEEL DRIVE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAY ON AND WON'T COME OFF AND SINCE THEY POPPED UP I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH MY ACCELERATION. IT'S BEEN CAUSING MY CAR TO RANDOMLY STOP ACCELERATING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. MY 4WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT POPS ON A FEW MINUTES AFTER I START DRIVING BUT THE OTHER 2 LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

THE CAR IS AUTOMATIC BUT STALLED AS IF IT WERE MANUAL. WHEN I COME TO A SUDDEN STOP IT WOULD STALL OUT & SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MOSTLY HAPPENS AT STREET LIGHTS & STOP SIGNS. IF I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION FOR EX: TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR TO GO AT A GREEN LIGHT. IT JUMPS AS IF NOT BEING ABLE TO CATCH A GEAR SHIFT. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE MACHANIC, THEY DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG UNDER THE HOOD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017. I'M WORRIED IT WOULD CAUSE A CRASH.
