Eight problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 2012 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have had constant problems already reported with this vehicle. The transmission overheats and dies on me or gets sluggish on the highway traffic. Today it completely died on me. After pulling over giving a minute it started back up. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves. So many ppl are reporting this same issue. They need to recall these cheap poorly made transmisdionscthat they already no are faulty. This is the 100th time this vehicle does this while in traffic im terrified to drive to work and have to leave hours early because of this.
While driving at highway speeds, suddenly unable to apply gas or control steering and vehicle slowed as if gas pedal was not depressed at all. A second time, after coming to a stop sign the engine shut down. The radio and other electronics remained on but vehicle would not restart. Had vehicle towed to independent service shop and unable to duplicate problem or locate any error code.
The stick shift does not move out of park. It stays locked in that position. I have to keep pulling on the shift handle and pumping the brake to get it to unlock. The vehicle is in stationary mode. I am unsure what us causing the problem.
This is the second time that this Jeep has not let me accelerate in hwy traffic. Over 40 mph and then just dies on me. . The transmission overheat light comes on and I cant drive because it dies shortly after that. . I thinking there is possible an upcoming vehicle recall for transmission. . It is currently at the dealership which the first time nothing was found for the same problem.
After I pumped gas into the car, as soon as I exited the gas station and entered on the street the car engine goes off, no power steering, no acceleration. I pull over to the right and put the car on park and restart the car. It was ok. I was hesistant to get on the freeway so I drove to a empty lot to see if it happen again and sure enough as soon as I travel a few yards, the engine goes off again. Scary if it happens in the middle of the freeway with lots of traffic.
Computer ecm fails tractions light on etc.
