I was driving approximately 10 miles an hour in a parking lot and my engine stalled and began to smoke. I reached out to the dealership where I purchased my vehicle first and no one would return my car. There is an additional recall that impacts my vehicle which has to do with the hijacking of the vehicle navigational system/blue tooth. I cannot get resolution from the dealership. State line Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealer #45636/45636.

Vehicle was driven at 60 mph on interstate. Vehicle's engine stalled causing sudden drop in speed to 25 miles mph. Vehicle was then pulled to a complete stop, placed in park, then turned off. Once the vehicle was restarted engine light was illuminated. Vehicle was then driven off of interstate where it stalled an additional 4 times within 10 minutes of operation.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while traveling 75 mph, the engine suddenly stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue. The failure and current mileages were unavailable. The VIN was not available.

We purchased our 2011 Jeep Compass in December of 2011. Approximately 3 months later my wife experienced an engine stall in the middle of making a left-hand turn going approx. 20 mph. There was no warning light or indication that the engine was no longer running. The power steering locked up and became very difficult to maintain control of the vehicle since happened in the middle of a turn into on-coming traffic. Within a month later it happened to me and again while making a slow left-handed turn. My wife notified the dealership where we purchased the Jeep and they said to bring it in next time it happened. It happened a 3rd time with my wife in June 2012 -again while making a left-handed turn. We then took the vehicle to the dealership for scheduled maintenance and to investigate the problem. They kept it for a week and said the computer diagnostics reported no issues. They said until it happened with them they couldn't isolate the problem. Today, July 18th, 2012 it has happened again with my wife for the 4th time making a left-handed turn again. This is an extreme safety hazard and upon researching other customer complaints, it is quite common. In fact, I am finding that 25-50% of the customer complaints about the 2011 Jeep Compass are related to this engine stall out while driving. We have returned the vehicle to the dealership as we were instructed and I left them copies of the research I did and customer complaints so they have no reason to say it is isolated to just my vehicle because there is a definite trend that warrants a safety recall in my opinion. At this time it is in the hands of Chrysler to bring this to a resolution. The vehicle only has about 8000 miles and lots of warranty left so I am hoping to see Chrysler stand behind their reputation and do the right thing.

Car engine stalling and impossible to accelerate, took to dealership for a tune up 11//09. Dealer changed couple of plugs but nothing else was needed. 1/10 car towed to dealer. Dashboard lights were acting up, engine started stalling and couldn't accelerate, car simply died in middle of the road. Dealer said it was a bad coil. Asked me if I had washed engine, answer was no. Dealer replaced coil and stated problem was fixed. Car started acting up again. While driving on 1-16 (GA), car would stall, couldn't accelerate, even though pedal was to the car floor. Emergency lights on dashboard acted up, (one of my tires had 10 air pressure, pulled over and tire had 35 air pressure). Same issues than before, I thought car would die in the middle of hwy(7/11/10). Took to dealer 7/14/2010 and contacted Chrysler (was assigned a case). Dealer wanted to charge me $75 to run diagnostics, refused to pay, same issue as before. Dealer ran diagnostics free of charge, however Chrysler states there is no assurance problem will be covered. This is a serious safety issue, my car could die in the middle of hwy with my two kids inside ,cause a serious accident. I paid for the tune up, car was under warranty first time but nothing was said or fixed then. Problem persists and now car is out of warranty, and I need to pay for the repairs? dealer failed to find problem twice before. Chrysler and dealer should be held accountable for putting my life and my kids life in danger. Also held accountable for not repairing an issue that is very common among these cars of the same year. Recall was issued on speed pedal, but mine never received a letter. I feel very unsecure while driving car. Chrysler states dealer and company are acting in good will by running diagnostics for free. They are manufacturer of car, which has serious safety issues. Dealer failed to repair car twice while under warranty. Act is not good will, its their responsibility!.

I own a 2007 Jeep Compass that was purchased new in June of 2006. Beginning in may of this year the car began suffering both low and high speed engine stalls, where the warning 'bell' sounds, all of the dash warning lights come on, and the engine completely shuts down. This car is driven by my college age daughter and represents a major safety hazard to both her and those around her. Most recently this condition occurred on I-85 south of atlanta in a major construction zone while she was going 60 miles an hour. Two weeks ago the opelika Jeep dealership did the 'software upgrade' recommended by a technical service bulletin, but obviously it did not resolve the problem. At the time the dealer could not 'recreate' the problem. The vehicle is currently at a dealership in union city, GA where it was towed. In past failures the car was able to be restarted after remaining turned off for several minutes. With the latest occurrence the car was completely dead and the engine would not start at all. In fact it acted as if the transmission interlock was engaged because turning the key produced absolutely nothing. This car represents a major safety hazard to the driver and those on the road around her.
