Nine problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2016 Jeep Compass keeps stalling over the past six months (70,000m). It will not accelerate at times and just stalls sometime in the town and some times on the intersate. I have had it at the dealer twice and they replaced another known issue with the throttle body (had that replaced on my daughters 2017 Jeep Compass) but it still didn't help this Jeep. Replaced the throttle body twice and the dealers only suggestion was to sell it. (check engine light only came on once- and no other alarms but in a 6 hour drive it happened 15-20 times. Fearful to pass a car for fear it might stall again. . .
On Tuesday, 9/15/2020 I went to turn on my Jeep Compass from my driveway and it would not start. However the check engine light came on. Later that evening I tried starting my Jeep again, it started with no problem, and the check engine light was now off. On Friday, 6/18/2020 I took my vehicle to advanced auto where they checked my battery, alternator, and starter - all 3 items came back good. On my way home from advanced auto I was stopped at a traffic light on south railroad street in palmyra, PA. When the light turned green for me to go, I went to release my foot off of the brake and the vehicle just completely shut off - it was just completely dead, nothing was working. I then went to put my foot back on the brake, and I felt pressure underneath the brake that wouldn't allow me to completely press it down. After a few minutes I tried turning my key and restarting the car, and it turned back on and I was thankfully able to drive it back home. On Monday, 9/21/2020 I called a tow truck and had it towed to ladd-hanford in lebanon, PA. On 9/22/2020 kelsey shellehamer called me from ladd-hanford to inform me that the crankshaft sensor was faulty, that there had been recalls for the same model but just not my year, so she was going to call Chrysler and see if they would pay for it anyway. On 9/23/2020 I received another call from kelsey. She stated that she spoke to Chrysler, their warranty department and also mvp, all of which declined responsibility for fixing the part.

About 2 weeks ago after I put gas in the car the check engine light came on we checked everything cannot figure out anything wrong with it then the airbag lights came on so we took the battery out put it back in and reset the lights. The check engine light came on the next time I drove it. Roughly 3 or 4 days after that it was morning it was misty the roads were wet I went about 5 blocks took a right turn went another 5 blocks took a left turn and all the sudden anti skid lights came on then the airbag light came on and then the lightning bolt light came on the car had no power. Soi pulled it over and we had it towed home I had a diagnostics test in it's c1221 I believe was the code we have not drive it since.
While merging onto the 110s from the 10e, the engine turned itself off. I was going almost 60 mph. The steering column was completely locked into place as the vehicle began to slow, preventing me from being able to steer effectively. I had my two children in the car - my 1 year old daughter and my 7 year old son. Luckily, I was not involved in an accident. I wasn't able to get onto a shoulder completely as I couldn't steer. I turned the key into the engine off position, waited a few seconds and turned the engine over. It started with no problem. However the check engine light turned on. The engine light was no longer on when I started the car several days later - I didn't drive it for obvious safety reasons. I took the vehicle to a mechanic for a diagnostic who told me that the vehicle is in need of a new crank shaft sensor and two cam shaft sensors - that all three should be replaced at the same time. I called Jeep, after a friend sent me a recall notice on 2016 Jeep Compasses with this same issue. I was informed that my car's VIN did not match the vehicles that were recalled despite experiencing the same dangerous mechanical malfunction.
While riding this evening my engine suddenly stalled while driving on a 3 lane road. This is the 3rd time this has happened. After stopping the car started after about 10 minutes. I took it to a auto shop because the check engine light came on this time. The code said it was the camshaft sensor. When I made it home I entered my VIN on vehicle history. Com and it started recall campaign 16v907000 for my car however on the NHTSA website it says there is not. Im going to contact a Jeep dealer in the morning to see if it can be fixed.
For a while now when my car accelerates between 3 and 3. 5 rpms the throttle control sensor goes off, and when that happens traction control turns off check engine light goes on and I cant go over 20mph.
Crank shaft sensor , car stalls, first started in July 2018. . . Check engine light came on and threw back code for crank shaft sensor.
