Car Will Not Accelerate Problems of Jeep Compass

2015 Jeep Compass latitude 4x4 with a 2. 4l engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle only has 80,000 miles on it. About a week ago we were driving down the road in our neighborhood when the car went into limp mode, no power to the wheels and the enging started chugging. Came to a complete stop and the rpm's were at 1500 at idle. Check engine light, throttle control light, abs, and traction control light turned on. I shut off the engine and waited a couple seconds and turned it back on. All the lights turned off and the vehicle seemed fine. I drove it home and hooked up my scan tool and there were no codes so I had no idea what to look for. Two days later we were driving down the highway and it happened again in a construction zone with no shoulder and no exit! the car would not accelerate and chugged to a stop, had to hold up traffic to turn the car off and back on to get moving again. Two miles later it happened and we had a shoulder to pull over onto. I stopped the car and tried to scan the engine and again no codes but the dash was lit up like a christmas tree. After turning it back on the car was stuck in limp mode and would not move. Had to have it towed to the shop. After throwing a bunch of money at it we finally found it was a faulty throttle body. The pedal sensor and the throttle body were not communicating. It cost us $719. 67 to have it fixed not to mention the tow. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

I was driving on the PA turnpike approximately 65 mph, when I stepped on the gas and the car would not accelerate. My car was basically coasting as cars and tractor trailers were flying by me at 70+ mph. I managed to get off the road safely, and all the lights on my dashboard were going crazy. Had the car towed to the dealership and they told me it's the "throttle body" - regulates the flow of fuel to the engine - electrical failure.
