2 Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problem of the 2018 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 03/08/2020

I own a manual 2018 Jeep Compass with around 14,000 miles. This has happened twice now. I noticed, and not sure if it is a coincidence or not, after the car has idled a bit. Each time the car makes a terrible rattling noise. The car loses power, has no pick up, goes limp. It is a manual, and when I put it in 1st or 2nd gear, it will not go above 2rpms on the dial. I usually shift when it gets to 3. No warning lights of any kind come on. I managed to get it not to stall on the highway, but both times I have not had to stop at a light or anything. Both times I let it sit overnight, and it was fine in the morning. After the first time I took it to the dealership and they found nothing. I have contacted Chrysler and have a case number.

3 Engine Rattling And Whining Sounds problem of the 2008 Jeep Compass

Failure Date: 09/24/2015

Whining noise coming from engine over 65 mph. Had no problems with transmission before. Did regular maintenance on the Jeep Compass. Driving on the freeway and noticed transmission oil light came on. Couldn't move in the gears. Had to pull over for a 1 hr to let car cool off. Later drove to my mechanic. No code found. Took it to a reputable transmission shop and he told that these 2008 Jeep Compass have bad transmission design and they go out around 130,000 to 145,000. I need new fluid, transmission cooler, adjustment but I opted to just get the a new transmission since that is a bad design for that particular model. Manufacturer should open a recall on these Jeeps. The location where I took mine already had several in for repairs.
