general problems of the 2015 Jeep Compass

I can be driving or at a stop and the vehicle shuts off randomly. No lights come on the dash and no codes or stored codes when hooked to a scanner.

My 2015 Jeep Compass will randomly stall while I am driving. . . Randomly breaking while im driving. Then very frequently it will not let me drive past 20 miles per hour (sometimes slower than this). It randomly acts like this. It always feels like it does not want to accelerate. . . It will sometimes but most times doesn't. I have taken it to both a private service center and to the dealership multiple times. The dealership states each time they see nothing wrong with my car. No codes pop up. Also when this happens nothing pops up on my dashboard. Driving this car has put me at risk multiple times that I refuse to drive it now. The last time I drove it, it was going 10 mph and I was reversing into my driveway and the car randomly sped up while I was reversing then went back to going super slow. I know someone in the same area as me with a Jeep and she said her Jeep has been doing similar things and the dealerships don't know what's wrong with it. The car has a mind of its own and is unsafe to me the driver and the drivers around while it is on the road. Nothing was wrong with my car prior to this. . . This randomly started happening and never stopped months later.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light was illuminated. Additionally, while coming to a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate immediately. The vehicle was taken to the auto zone, where codes p0420 and p0430 (catalytic converter) were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for recall repair: 15v878000 (steering); however, the dealer informed the contact they were unable to perform the recall repair due to a restriction on the vehicle for a rebuilt title. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

It’s been over a year since I’ve experienced stalling problems with my Jeep. At first, it would happen every once in a while. Now, it occurs everyday. There doesn’t appear to be a trigger as it happens while driving on an interstate, highway, while turning, etc. My Jeep will completely shut off and I will lose power steering. This has left me stranded in the middle of roads and on highways numerous times. The only thing I can do is put the car in park, turn the ignition off, put my safety hazards on, and pray no one hits me until it starts back up again. This has been a big mystery as no indicator lights appear on the dash board, nor do any codes appear on the reader when plugged into the vehicle. Many others Jeep owners have experienced this exact same issue and I have not been able to find the root cause of the issue and neither have the Jeep manufacturer dealerships.

My car just stops running when traveling down the road. This is very dangerous. I loss ability to excelerate and I loss power steering. I do not get any warning lights or any thing.

The vehicle has stalled repeatedly while in drive, losing power steering functionality, while driving up to 65 mph.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Compass. The contact’s son stated while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic where it was inspected but not diagnosed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the check engine warning light and the throttle body warning light illuminated. Then, the vehicle decelerated and would not exceed 20 mph. The contact stated that as she continued to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle inadvertently accelerated to 65 mph. The contact depressed the brake pedal and was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring and the vehicle would jerk whenever the warning lights were illuminated while driving. The contact also stated that the failure had increased with intensity and frequency. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

I have had my vehicle for 5 years and the issue is getting worse as the years go by. When my “low oil/change engine oil” light comes on, my vehicle stalls out and the lightening bolt indicator light flashes while driving. The indicator light comes on as I push the gas pedal. When I release the pedal, it goes out. Each time I attempt to accelerate/press the gas pedal, the vehicle stalls as if it’s not getting the gas it needs to accelerate. I had my fuel line and fuel pump checked and it is perfectly fine, I had a tuneup as well. I have this issue every single time that my “low oil/change engine oil” indicator light comes on and I am constantly putting oil in my engine. I am paying out money to have my vehicle checked, constantly. I was informed of the issue and there are class action suits being dismissed for the same mechanical issue that I have been having for 4 and a half years.

This 2015 Jeep Compass has had multiple defects until now: 1. In around mid 2015, the 4 wheels light kept turning on and not able to be turned off, then I sent it to the dealership to fix it, which cost me a few hundreds of dollars. The dealer told me that the electric wire within the engine box was not in good shape and need to be replaced. 2. At the end of 2017, the car was suddenly shaking heavily and jerks while accelerating, and a continuous muffled and hollow sound came out from the engine box. And the engine warning light was on. I sent it to the dealer for a fix, and the fee was paid by the dealer themselves. Later they told me that they replaced the transmission for my car. 3. In the mid of 2020, the car was not able to shift from the park(a shifter stuck in park) when it was in the surface parking of my apartment. So I had to send it to the garage to have a fix, which cost me a few hundred more dollars, and some of its electric wired within the engine box was replaced.

While driving on the highway on two separate occasions now, my Jeep suddenly loses power and decelerates. The engine light, electronic throttle control light and stability control light come on, the Jeep runs very rough and will not accelerate. After pulling over and turning the car off and back on the engine light stays on and the other lights go off but after driving a bit the problem occurs again. When scanned the code is u0401 stating that there is an issue with communication to the pcm. There is only 88700 miles on the Jeep. The power train warranty is good to 100000 but the dealership states that the pcm is not covered under the drivetrain warranty. After researching online there are many reports of this happening to othe Jeep Compasses and patriots. Both times this has happened on the highway it has been a particularly scary situation due to the fact that the Jeep rapidly decelerates and the traffic behind me has had difficulty slowing as quickly. This happened 12/16/18 as well as 12 /6/18 and 12/17/18.

I'm having an issue with my 2015 Jeep Compass (50,000 miles) not only that, the dealership has either no idea how to fix it or they don't want to. If I died, my son would be orphaned. The car is unsafe to drive. On several occasions with no warning my engine has shut down. My car doesn't turn off, it just won't drive anymore . The only light that comes on is the esc activation/malfunction. I have to stop in the middle of the road. Turn the ignition off and turn it back on to get it to go. It has done this at least 10 times now. I nearly got into a accident trying to turn left, and again merging onto the freeway. The steering wheel becomes hard to turn and I can put the gas peddle all the way down, it does not accelerate. No rpms. I have brought it to the dealership to be scanned four times after it has happened. I've been a rental car for three days now. There are no codes in the computer. And they say they need to reproduce the issue in order to fix it. It's a safety issue and I am desperately trying to figure it out.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Compass. After the contact parked and exited the vehicle, she was alerted by someone that the vehicle rolled into the middle of the parking lot. Also, the contact could remove the key from the ignition when the vehicle was not in park. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure; however, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel afterwards when the contact started the engine. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 40,533.

I was proceeding through a green light. A car coming from my left ran their red light at full speed (approx. 30 mph) and crashed into my car. My entire front end was damaged. It was pushed in at least 10-12" according to the responding fire department & emt's my airbag should have absolutely gone off and it did not. I was transported to the hospital for neck pain. Luckily nothing is broken but I have severe neck, back, and head pain almost a full week later. I am starting physical therapy next week.
