Two problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When filling the gas tank all the way up. The car locked up steering was uncontralloble brakes were locking on and off like jumping and almost hit an oncoming car. Car shutoff and went turn back on until 5 minutes in was in full motion going 55mph on a city street. Scariest time I've ever been driving. Now that I have researched there is numerous complaints of the same instance happening to others. Having to do with when the fuel tank is all the way full. Literally could have died. Someone will get badly injured or death if this is not corrected.
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!.
