Starter problems of the 2016 Jeep Compass

Two problems related to starter have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Starter problem

Failure Date: 06/11/2020

Our vehicle acts as if it has an electrical problem, radio no longer works but clock does, engine crack shaft makes it hard for vehicle to start. Car was checked for batter, alternator and starter and check out all good. It struggles to start just started a few weeks ago. It takes alot to build speed sometimes and stalls sometimes acting as if it wants to cut off.

2 Starter problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2019

Jeep will not start with key. Then I had to press on gas to get car to start, now it doesn't start at all with key. I have to use my automatic starter to get my car to start then put my key in. This should be recalled. This is not safe, and obviously a Jeep problem. I have researched this, and so many Jeep owners have this problem.
