general problems of the 2014 Jeep Compass

Thermostat keeps going to hot or stops working and drops to cold. Replaced thermostat coolant sensor since that’s what the code popped up. Didn’t work it continues to out. Radiator cap is collecting engine oil and not coolant. Engine oil is getting into my radiator hose. I had just got my radiator and stuff replaced by the dealership. I only had it for 6 months and been putting a lot of money in it and I’m still having engine and thermostat and radiator problems. Also it keeps smoking when it already has coolant in it.

I owned a 2014 Jeep Compass with 63,xxx miles on it. I bought the vehicle brand new. On (3) occasions so far, the engine stalled out immediately after filling the gas tank. It will restart and sputter for 10-15 seconds and then run just fine. On the latest incident, after leaving a gas station after filling up the gas tank, I went to pull out into heavy, busy traffic, the engine stalled out once again. Placing me in a very dangerous situation! obviously! my research on Jeep forums and other car maintenance websites shows the problem is very likely caused by a bad/defective rollover valve. The rollover valve is located inside the gas tank. Apparently, the valve gets triggered off while refilling the gas tank when near full. Noted that the check engine light did not common on. During my research on Jeep forums and other related Jeep websites, I've noticed the engine stalling issue on many other Jeep Compass and Jeep patriots.

While driving on a busy street, the engine lost power and throttle control, traction control, and check engine lights came on, my vehicle then loses ability to accelerate. A couple of weeks pass by with my car being fine and then it happens again except this time my car wont start back at all. Took it to a mechanic where I paid for towing. Vehicle was limp and wanted to stall. Now have to pay for new spark plugs and throttle body replacement. Mechanic said this is a common safety hazard issue with Jeeps and this throttle body needs to be on recall already.

After fueling up the Jeep and driving away, the car starts jerking and acts like it wants to stall. This has happened after trying different gas stations so I doubt it is the fuel itself. Both times this has happened it didn't do the jerking/stalling after turning the car off and letting it sit for a few hours.

I was driving on the expressway & all of a sudden my vehicle just started stalling. I couldn't drive any faster than 30mph. I could've been in an accident with my kids in the car with me. How is this not included in a recall? I've seen several other vehicles with the same issue. Plus there was a recall done in 2013 for this same issue with the engine stall so why isn't my vehicle included in this recall.

The check engine light came on 11/15/2019, prior to that when turning the vehicle on there was a bad fuel odor coming from the engine. Suddenly today the engine was very quiet to the point of not knowing it was on. After the check engine light came on I took the vehicle to autozone for a diagnostic scan. The code that came up was catalytic converter. I see there is a recall on Chrysler cars and I would like my car to be fixed due to this manufacturer error in producing a efficient vehicle for safety and emissions.

The vehicle stalls without warning in all temperatures. Most often when accelerating after braking. Vehicle also looses power and runs rough without warning. At no time have any fault codes tripped.

Engine, fuel propulsion system, vehicle speed control 2014 Jeep Compass sputters and jerks, difficulty accelerating. Randomly came on along with the electronic throttle light. Unable to accelerate above 10 or 15 mph. . Only gain speed when going downhill. Towed to dealer- throttle body was replaced,I purchased as used vehicle, left me stranded on 1st day.

I was driving, and my car started to get hot. The hot engine light started to beep. I was on the highway so I tried to get to a safe area to pull over. Before I could even do that I heard and felt the car shake and all of the sudden the temperature drops to cold and the check engine light and the throttle control light turned on. Drove it home and in the morning the check engine light is 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.

2014 Jeep Compass sport lost power while driving on the highway this vehicle went from going 65-70 miles per hour to barely being able to get up to speed of 30mph that is with pressing accelerator all the way to the floor. Once exiting off of the highway the vehicle continued to lose power when pressing accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The vehicle will start, but barley has any power to drive. This is very life threatening and dangerous! this problem has been noted and should have been recalled way before now. I have seen reviews about this happening to other Jeep Compass owners. Please fix ASAP! before lives are taken. .

There is a recall that is supposed to happen by Jeep and it's the catylictic converter and also the throttle body just went out.

Takata recall complaint - engine, fuel propulsion system, vehicle speed control 2014 Jeep Compass sputters and jerks, difficulty accelerating daily on all types of roads and highways since 2016 until current and now since 5/6/209 and 5/10/2019 the engine light randomly came on along with the electronic throttle light. Unable to accelerate above 45 or 50 mph. . Only gain speed when going downhill. I was scared and had the car towed home I was on the freeway my life was in danger.

Driving when I lost power, even pushing on the gas. . . The car slowed to under 20mph. A few lights came up on dash (check engine, traction control, lightning bolt) engine stuttered and cars were swerving to go around me because I had no power no matter how much I pushed on the gas. This is the second time this happened to me, I was on the highway.

I've tried refueling my keep. And numerous times the fuel has shot back out of the filler neck and spilled on the floor and all over me. Thought it was me and asked a mechanic at annadale service center in staten island to help and the same thing has happened to them. So off to the dealership for this service at island Jeep Chrysler. A diagnosis was an issue with the filler tube.

I was driving down the road doing 40 with 2 of my children when I lost all power control of my vehicle in 90 degree weather. I ended up on someones lawn and pulled up on my emergency brake to stop my car, only way. I ended up being towed home. Car started next day. Took to dealership they said it was throttle control sensor which they stated wasn't covered under warranty. Just this week I took to get its first inspection since purchasing and it failed for emissions. I was told by inspector this make and model had been failing for fuel system failure and to contact dealership. I contacted dealership who stated this is the first they're hearing of this issue and I wasn't able to schedule an appointment until next week and said that there may be a charge for me to fix???? I have also had to replace both rear hub bearings. I called the Jeep manufacturer who was absolutely useless as well and said certain things are covered under warranty and this may be one that isn't. This is absolutely ludicrous that I have a 4 year old car that failed its first inspection. I have a claim with them.

2014 Jeep Compass sputters and jerks, difficulty accelerating, the engine light randomly came on along with the electronic throttle light. Unable to accelerate above 45 or 50 mph. . Only gain speed when going downhill!.

Car does not want to go over 20 can push on the gas and will not go faster.

April 15, 2018 vehicle only has 58k miles on it and is still under powertrain warranty. Pulled out onto highway in busy traffic and vehicle shuddered and lost power. I was unable to accelerate over 20mph. Oncoming car narrowly missed hitting me. Lightning bolt, check engine light, and abs warning lights all flashed on drivers panel. Brought car to dealer to be inspected and diagnosis codes are that I need a new throttle body converter. Vehicle doesn't even have 60k miles on it and the engine is still under warranty, however, dealer says warranty does not cover throttle body. :/ very dangerous problem that I've discovered a lot of other people are having problems with. :/ looks like Jeep made a faulty part that can result in a serious accident if someone loses power at the wrong time.

While getting off of pm shift, around 2330, I was driving and all of a sudden my car began to slow down only 3 miles into driving. I could not accelerate more than 15 miles an hour in a 40mph zone. The lightning bolt for electronic throttle control was flashing, then stopped, then my check engine and my anti skid(?) was lit up. I pulled over to a side street, put in park only to have my engine idle at 2k rpm. Thank goodness I had my phone and a friend with some car knowledge. Told me to leave in park and restart my car. Turned on and once I shifted out of park it happened again. He stayed on the phone with me for the rest of my drive home that took me 45min because of not being able to accelerate any faster than 15. A drive that usually would take me 15 minutes took much longer. Glad my kids weren't in the car because I almost got hit 2x by 18 wheelers coming off of the highway. Not to mention it was only 27 degrees out (without the chicago wind chill)and would have had to wait probably 30+ minutes for a tow or ride to pick me up had it not restarted. Beyond livid that there are numerous complaints about the same thing and nothing being done. Going to have to pay out of pocket for this fix, right before christmas, awesome!.

At 75000 miles, the electronic throttle switch shorted out internally, leaving the car functioning in limp mode, if you tried to go faster than 10 miles an hour it would buck and kick and going up small hills you would loose all power. Had to be towed to dealership for repais. Was on highway doing 60-65 and all of a sudden dropped to 10.

Squeaky brakes and excelertion problems. When I have a need for speed, the car down shifts and then excelerates is the best description I can give.
