Seven problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car has been repeatedly stalling when going into a turn or coming to a stop. Low oil pressure light will flash at times while driving. Stalls and low oil pressure warning flash sometimes occur at the same time, sometimes do not. Car recently stalled while going 35mph on a highway. Requires stopping car, putting into park, and then restarting, which takes 10-15 seconds for starter to get engine to turn over. When at idle in park, throttle does not respond to gas pedal.
Car stalled 4 times in the last 4 months while at stop lights. I was stopped at light and when I went to move again the car stalled-all panel lights flashed and car would not turn on again. After multiple attempts the car finally started. After the most recent occurrence I drove immediately to the nearest midas because oi was afraid to drive it any farther. They ran diagnostics and could not find a definitive answer. The battery was fine.
The stop/start battery had to be replaced. Within 2 months the car battery had to be replaced. This was because the stop/start engine died various times. The car would not start for over 10 minutes. A month after fixing it , it stalled again. I am 65 years old and this is very unsafe. I stop at a stop sign and start to go and it dies. It seems that the stop/start engine has to be stopped for a period of time before you can go.
My vehicle has 15562 miles on it and is 400 miles from it's oil change. When driving vehicle on neighborhood streets it would randomly stall and shut off causing a loss of power steering and vehicle acceleration. When we arrived home we did a once over on the engine and the oil dip stick was bone dry. We called our local dealership and they mentioned that they had seen several Jeep Compasses with the same issue.
Takara recall. I woke up in the am to go to meet my friend, stated Jeep, it was running funny. So I put in reverse and pukked out of driveway, got to a stop sign, Jeep would not go, no gas or just like it was running out of gas. Parking brake went on had to shut it off and start it again. Than pulled on to hywy 65 and it like stalled, no gas power att all, steering was hard ,could not turn the wheel. And check engine lite went on,! and checked the oil because that keeps going on to. (just got an oil change)had too put in 2 quarts of oil. It is going somewhere? if there was alot of traffic I would have been killed. There are days my radio has a mind of it's own? it will just change channels or freeze up. My passenger window has a mind of it own somedays it will role downbeat ok , next day or hours it wont work again? all thede malfuntions makes my anxiety off the charts. It is sad when it is your vehicle and your scared to drive it. I have 4 recalls and no one told me ,I had to look them up to get them. That is horrible peoples lives are in danger! I hope that someone else doesnt have to be scared to dive there Jeep. Like me.
