Four problems related to throttle control warning light on have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Multiple issues with throttle body resulting in a loss of power and control of vehicle. Back in 2017, I had an issue with the car jerking, cutting out, and losing power. Took car to a Jeep dealership and throttle body had to be replaced. Again during the summer of 2020, vehicle started losing ability to consistently accelerate. Car began jerking, cutting out, and losing power on the roads and highway. The vehicle throttle light, stability traction control, and engine light illuminated. Dealership confirmed throttle needs to be replaced again. Reported to Jeep corporate office with no resolution. Severe safety issue. Jeep doesn't care and is claiming no responsibility until a recall has to be issued.
The connection from the gas to the throttle appears to be failing. The car will stay on while driving but will no longer accelerate or will randomly accelerate. After it happens, the throttle light and check engine light will come on.
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!.
Last year I had to pay for a new throttle and now my airbag sensor light will not go out on a city street.
