Two problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving on both city streets and highway the engine shuts off without any warning. This causes a loss of power steering and abs braking making it very difficult to safely get the car off the road and avoid accidents. Once I'm able to stop and put the car in park it will restart and drive normal again. Before, during, and after the engine shut down there are no lights on the dash or codes in the computer that identify an issue. This happens at least three times a week in all tempetures and conditions.
Dangerous, engine stalling and complete electrical shut down,while driving at any speed, driving straight, turning, or just sitting there. The abs light flashes and then everything shuts down without warning. I sit for a minute, then I can restart and the vehicle runs fine. Except for the fact that the engine stalling will happen again. I took it to the dealer, they said there are no codes indicating a problem. The dealer cannot find what this issue is. There was a recall in Dec. 2013 for the exact same problem, however, Chrysler corp says that my VIN does not fit into vehicles that were recalled. It should be if my 2014 Jeep Compass is having the exact same problem. This is extremely dangerous, stalling in the middle of traffic both on the freeway and in the streets. And with the airbag module not replaced yet by a different recall, it makes it more dangerous if the vehicle stalls in traffic, then a car hits us and no airbag deploys.
