Four problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2015 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2015 Jeep Compass stalls and loses power steering with no warning. It has happened at low speeds in my neighborhood as well as on the highway. The rpms will suddenly drop and then shoot back up and the engine will die. The power steering goes out when the engine dies. No check engine light comes on. No codes given. Sometimes will start immediately others you have to wait a while to restart.
Vehicle started stall without warning when driving. No error code is recorded in car. No check engine or other lights appear on the dash. There are many blogs on the internet about this problem and when I contacted fiat (Jeep) they had no solution. It is dangerous and some type of response from Chrysler is needed with a solution. The problem is random and has been happening for three months.
2015 Jeep Compass latitude 4x4 with a 2. 4l engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle only has 80,000 miles on it. About a week ago we were driving down the road in our neighborhood when the car went into limp mode, no power to the wheels and the enging started chugging. Came to a complete stop and the rpm's were at 1500 at idle. Check engine light, throttle control light, abs, and traction control light turned on. I shut off the engine and waited a couple seconds and turned it back on. All the lights turned off and the vehicle seemed fine. I drove it home and hooked up my scan tool and there were no codes so I had no idea what to look for. Two days later we were driving down the highway and it happened again in a construction zone with no shoulder and no exit! the car would not accelerate and chugged to a stop, had to hold up traffic to turn the car off and back on to get moving again. Two miles later it happened and we had a shoulder to pull over onto. I stopped the car and tried to scan the engine and again no codes but the dash was lit up like a christmas tree. After turning it back on the car was stuck in limp mode and would not move. Had to have it towed to the shop. After throwing a bunch of money at it we finally found it was a faulty throttle body. The pedal sensor and the throttle body were not communicating. It cost us $719. 67 to have it fixed not to mention the tow. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
I was driving on the service road about to enter onto a major highway and my Jeep had three caution lights pop up on the dashboard. Next thing I know my rpms were all over (limp mode) and my cars power started to stall. I had to pull over and was in a really bad spot that had no shoulder. I restarted the vehicle and the check engine light was lit. I was able to drive it into a parking lot. This was quite a scary situation and had me fearing for my safety. I looked up this problem and seems like quite an occurence. I had my truck towed to the nearest Jeep service station and was told they had to put me on emergency list for loaner vehicle (mind you, I lease my Jeep) and was told they were backed up in service. That location told me it was a pcm code error. I called other service locations and was told I needed to tow it to my home station in order to get a loaner. The car sat for over a week and was finally looked at today. I am now told the throttle body needs to be replaced. My Jeep has very little wear and only has 53,000 miles. This issue is way too common to not be considered as hazardous.
