general problems of the 2013 Jeep Compass

This vehicle before had the cvt transmission replaced as it was over heating/inoperable. Complete replacement. Flash forward not even a year I was driving and thr transmission made a noise and basically locked up causing the driver to hit curb at high rate of speed along the freeway. The vehicle again is disabled with a transmission defect and requires replacement. 2nd transmission failure and will need replacement and caused injury during collision with curb at high rate of speed without any indication lights of a mechanical issue prior to impact.

Jeep first issues was at 89k, not shifting. Second issues was at100k transmission over heated. Dealer/ warranty had me changed the fluid and filter for transmission. Third issue, 130k transmission made a whining noise and stopped. Jeep was towed to the shop. After doing some research, turns out that the transmission on several these Jeep’s have same issue. The transmission should be on manufactured recall.

I purchased this Jeep a year ago very low mileage. About 2 weeks into it the Jeep started heating up. Long story short this vehicle at its 100k miles needed a transmission replacement that cost me over 3000. 00 with such little mileage I believe this is a manufacture error. , ive heard several of these Jeep Compasses needing transmissions under 100k miles.

2013 Jeep Compass latitude. Cvt trans heard up and stops all power. Have to pull over and let cool and repeat process every 10 miles or so.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle steering wheel seized. The contact mentioned that extra strength was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle felt like the transmission down shifted while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the outer tie rod needed to be replaced, the vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic test or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN number was not included. The failure mileage was 110,000. Dr.

Traveling at 70 mph, the transmission over heating light came on. The Jeep lost all power. After about 30 minutes the light went off. We pulled to safe location. Jeep still didn't have much power. Transmission sounded awful. Jeep was taken home on a flatbed. Now I am being told because it has 101340 miles the warranty is over. Dealership is saying because the code light is off they can't do anything.

Engine cutting out and stalling, not getting above 45 without jarring and trying to stall out. I have had kendall auto group in soldotna, alaska trying to diagnose and repair since March 2019. They have had star cases opened with Chrysler technicians. It's been a guessing game. They have returned the car to me several times saying it was fixed. Only to have it stall out on me. Once having to get it towed back to there facility. At times it was over a month before any communication to be.

Cvt overheats at approximately 45 minutes of highway driving causing the vehicle to quickly loose power and become undriveable. This then strands the driver for nearly 30 minutes until it cools enough and the warning light goes off and then can then be driven again.

In the summer of 2016, the cvt transmission started overheating. It was a very dangerous situation, as the car would lose power on the highway. You would have to coast to the shoulder and sit there for 20 minutes for the car to cool down. However, when we would take it to the dealer it would not show any error codes. This happened many times. We finally took it to another dealer and they had heard of this issue. It would happen very oftenon days with high outside temps. The other dealer replaced the cvt transmission last summer under warranty. However, this may as soon as it started to heat up outside, it started again. Again no codes when they check. This is happening every day. Now the dealer refuses to help. From what I have found on the internet, this issue is way to common on this transmission.

It is dealing witj the trasmission temperature. Driving with or without the air conditioning on for a period of time of a speed of 60. The light comes on the car begins to make a whining noise and the car begins to lose speed or power. I than have to cut on the heater at a high temperature to help with circulation to the area. I have to pull over cut vehicle off. For 5 or more minutes tham continue on until it starts over again.

Transmission overheating while moving on cruise control for a long period of time that speeds between 65 and 75 miles per hour. Problem appears intermittent when ambient temperature is over 80 degrees fahrenheit. Dangerous shift to low-power mode making vehicle incapable of maintaining speed.

The vehicle was in motion going uphill 3 separate times, once in a 30 minute drive (70 mile round trip), the other 2 times, both 3. 5 hours in( 300 mile trip one way) and the transmission light came on. The car began to decelerate rapidly and on the 30 minute trip, I had to turn around and start going down hill as the car would no longer go up hill. The 2nd time, I happened to be by a walmart, after a 3. 5 hour drive, going uphill for about 15 minutes after decelerating to about 30 mph in a 70 (3-5 degree grade), and bought some transmission fluid and added it to the transmission. It appeared to do the job ( the rest of the trip was downhill), but on the return trip home 3 days later, 3. 5 hours in and going uphill 3-5 degree grade, the car started to decelerate and would not go above 50 mph for the remainder of the trip (5 hour total trip one way). After making it within 30 miles of being home, I started running into surface street traffic and during the stop and go the car would accelerate very slowly and showed very little power. The car has 76k miles and I would not expect this to happen to a relatively gently used car still under warranty.

While driving 70 mph down i4 the automatic transmission light came on, vehicle would not accelerate anymore and was forced to pull over and had the vehicle towed. This has happened twice with the vehicle since buying it brand new in 2013. The issue happened with 36k miles on the car. Jeep continues to say that they cannot replicate the issue.

Recurring problem- transmission fluid temperature light has gone on and vehicle slows or stops abrubtly during 1 hour or longer trip on highway. Had the car in Jeep dealer 3 times. Contacted Jeep corporate directly , they didnt return last calls. No progress. Port jeff Jeep dealer (where we purchased 6 months ago) is servicing vehicle. Concerned about the inability to accelerate as problem occurs on highway- sudden drop in speed poses a danger. Dont want to wait till rear endeded. 4 events on 11/19/2016, 11/30/2016 and 12/12/2016.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Compass. While driving 75 mph, the automatic transmission warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle independently shifted from high gear to a lower gear. The contact stated that the transmission overheated. The contact turned the vehicle off and back on; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000. The VIN was not available.

There is a severe problem with the electronic throttle control. This started as a minor annoyance and now I cannot drive my car. Driving on the highway the red lightening light starts flashing and I lose all ability to accelerate my car. It is very dangerous driving 70mph and having to abruptly slow and pull to the side of the road. This now happens everytime I drive my car. I will be driving around town and will continuously have to pull over to turn my car off. Now I cant even turn my car on without the electronic throttle control light on. The car idles rough and the handbook say to turn the car off immediately when it does this. This almost left me stranded in the middle of the night from driving over the pass. This is a serious issue that I have come across and it is unsafe to drive with out being able to aaccelerate with the flow of traffic.

While driving 70 mph down i4 the automatic transmission light came on, vehicle would not accelerate anymore and was forced to pull over to wait for the vehicle to cool down. This is the 4th time this has happened with the vehicle since buying it brand new in 2013. The issues starting in April 2015, with 35000 miles on the car. Jeep continues to say that they cannot replicate the issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Compass. While driving approximately 70 mph, the transmission warning light illuminated and the contact heard a whining sound emerging from the transmission area. The contact had to merge to the side of the highway to a complete stop. The contact let the vehicle cool down for approximately 15 minutes and it resumed normal operation. The failure recurred three other times before the contact reached his destination. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Early morning. Going n on I-75, exiting on exit 22 (glades parkway). Slowing down to exit, my daughter perceived a burning odor inside thecar, I tried to keep reducing the speed but the car accelerated by itself and the steering wheel locked, the exit curve was in front of us and thanks god we crashed into the sidewalk border, where the car went over the grass with the front right wheel, scratched the underneath and that allowed us to get out of the grass and stop the car. I am truly scared of gettig into that car again. As a mater of fact, just thinking what may have happened, I do not want that car anymore, so I want to know what options do I have. Axle, suspension syste, rack & pinnion, bearings, wheel, engine supports, and more damaged.

I already filed a complain about this incident. My purpose now is to notify the incredibly bad customer service and interest the Chrysler corp took regarding this incident. To start, they played every excuse to avoid going to the body shop to inspect the Jeep, and I kept telling them there was a burning smell right before the accident happened and the Jeep started malfunctioning and speeding on its own. When they finally got to the shop, I understand the review was a very superficial one and of course, their conclussion was that nothing was wrong with the car. In a word, they did not bother trying to find out why the burning smell, if some electrical or circuit was bad, they just did not care. This lack of interest from them about the possibility of avoiding future accidents that may result in loss of human lives or bad injuries got me very upset to a apoint that as soon as the Jeep got out of the body shop and was repaired, I traded it for a reliable vehicle, and I surely do not recommend anyone I know to buy a car mnanufactured by the Chrysler group.
