One problem related to cruise control has been reported for the 2011 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When driving vehicle would lose power and could not accelerate. While on rt 90, massachusetts turnpike I had to get across traffic to crawl off highway to garage. They looked at it and said weren't sure, perhaps transmission. After a while when I restarted was able to crawl home on local roads. It seemed better until another time on rt 91 I was in dangerous situation when auto started slowing down and would not accelerate and I was almost his by tractor trailer truck. Luckily I crawled back home again. It was very dangerous situation. Few days later I was going to take to garage and in middle road it stopped and would no longer drive at all. It sat in middle street until I had it towed to repair. They could help at my usual repair garage and I had to have towed again to Jeep dealership where they informed me transmission was blown and it would cost almost $6500 to replace transmission, throttle body and maniverter. My sister had a 2015 Jeep that had same problem year after she bought and she was also in dangerous situations on highway same as mine. Hers was recalled. My car is only 8 years old and this kind of repair is outrageous. I have had it towed 3 times and cannot move it at all. It seems to have messed up cruise control which few months previously stopped working before transmission quit all together. Research has showed me this is a chronic and dangerous problem with Jeep vehicles as mechanics have also informed me. This had been ongoing problem for some months until it stopped driving at all. Jeep needs to recall these dangerous vehicles. I have statement from lia Jeep of northampton, MA stating necessary repairs but my printer is not working so I cannot upload.
