One problem related to engine failure has been reported for the 2016 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving up a mountain highway doing about 55 miles an hour and my car completely stalled out. It's like my car just completely shut off but I still had power. I was able to drift off onto the side where it was confirmed my car had just shut off. I tried restarting it three times with no success. I waited a few minutes and tried to restart it and it started. I tested it and it was running so I tried to get back on the highway where it instantly shut off again this time the engine shut off again and I lost control of my steering and just rolled backwards. No warning lights came on. I had to have it towed back down the mountain. I would like to note I had sufficient gas and oil. My car gets serviced regularly and I've had no other issues with it until now. I would also like to note I have found other recalls on this exact make and model for engine failure! where the exact same thing happened to others.
