Six problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have repeated got my car sent to a repair shop for screeching transmission & brakes. Every time no one can find an issue and the next day the noises will come back again. Recently once again my check engine light turned on. I have constantly stated there is obviously something wrong with the engine or transmission since the first month of buying this car, but no one can find anything so everything is good with the car apparently. Its not safe do something & ive filled a complaint before and gotten no response. Recent incident: the car is currently was stationary when I tried turning on my car and the check engine light came on. The past incidents: I was in motion on a 40mph road and the car completely shuts off. The repair shop took a crank piece out but thats not main problem since 2weeks later my car doesnt want to turn on.
While driving, the engine loses power and throttle control, traction control, and check engine lights came on. Vehicle goes into "limp" mode and won't accelerate above 10-15 mph. This seems to be a recurring problem with this vehicle, but there isn't a recall. This is a major safety hazard.
I was driving about 45 mph on a country road, after a curve in the road, my Jeep"s traction control and check engine light came on as well as the electronic throttle control started flashing. My Jeep then went into "limp mode" and I couldn't drive faster than 40 mph. I'm so glad that I was on a country road because if this would have happened on a highway it would have been very dangerous. I was finally able to get my Jeep home and it has been fine since but now I'm constantly worried that this is going to happen again at anytime.
The vehicle shut off while going 70 miles an hour, no warning at all. As soon as it was switched off it re-started??? no codes appearing and no check engine light.
My oil pressure and check engine light kept turning off and on. I contacted the Jeep dealership in regards to the issue, and they advised me it was not dangerous. The problem continued so I attempted to transport my vehicle to my mechanic, and as I was transporting the vehicle I heard a loud "pop!" from under the hood. The car began to decelerate causing me to have to pull safely to the side of the road from three lanes over. The dash board proceeded to light up and a strange smell began to come through the vehicle. My associate and I got out of the vehicle to check under the hood and found that the vehicle was on fire. We quickly grabbed our belongs and moved a safe distance away from the vehicle. The vehicle was engulfed in flames within 15 minutes and remained on fire until the fire department arrived to extinguish it. The car was a total loss and Jeep has denied association with the incident.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that the engine stalled numerous times, while driving. The vehicle lost acceleration and the check engine warning light illuminated, while driving at approximately 30 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the computer software was reprogrammed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
