Over the past two days the engine on my 2018 Jeep Compass trailhawk simply stopped and cut off as I was turning into intersections. Thankfully I was able to coast to the shoulder and put the Jeep into park to restart engine. This is such a dangerous issue, and I cannot even imagine it happening on a highway or merging lane going 65 mph. Scheduled an appointment for vehicle, and I noted that other Jeep Compass vehicles from 2018 had a recall due to cracked fuel pump issue, though it seems my particular VIN is not "part" of that recall. Maybe it needs to be. This is a very dangerous issue.

The auto start/stop feature frequently causes the car to stall when starting. Today (12/13/2022), the vehicle would not start for several minutes, which left me stuck in the morning rush hour, blocking a lane of traffic.

Every time I fill up my gas tank the car will stall and shut down in the middle of the road. This is extremely dangerous as I need to put my car in park to restart it.

Daughter was driving. Came to a stop sign, proceeded through after stopping and the the car's accelerator wouldn't work and the car stalled in the middle of the intersection. She had to turn if off and it started back up after a few "weird" sounds. Took it to a shop we trust, they checked it quickly and couldn't find a reason. Checked the battery:fine. Checked the oil: was low, told to return soon for oil. This incident was repeated the next day. She stopped driving it, dropped it off at the same shop. The shop inspected throughly, found to have no oil in the engine. Have been advised to add oil to this car every 1000-1500 miles to keep it safe.

When driving the vehicle will hesitate then stall after refueling. Happen after almost every refueling case. Believe it is a stuck rollover valve that is allowing gas to enter vent lines and causing the stall. When accelerating the vehicle suddenly dies and there is a complete loss of all systems. No power steering to help get off the side of the road. Often there are no check engine lights or other warnings. Obviously if your engine suddenly dies when accelerating this can cause major safety concerns. I had this happen 3 times while trying to merge onto an interstate. Thankfully I was in the right lane and able to get off to the shoulder and avoid an accident. Have not had a mechanic verify but it is a very common problem with these vehicles and the manufacturer needs to address this.

My car uses too much oil and my car keeps shutting off after 3000 miles when I should be getting 5-6000 to an oil change. My engine literally ran out of oil in about 6 weeks and my mechanics stated that it must be a recall issue. I feel like this is a threat to engine safety.

Have replaced cam shaft and crankshaft positioning sensors to no avail. Check engine light will come and go, sometimes with the traction control lights as well if the brake is engaged for any length of time. After these lights come on, the Jeep loses the ability to accelerate, leaving the car in limp mode. Light goes off after each sensor is replaced, will drive fine for a day or so, and then will leave you stuck. All attempts to diagnose, end in codes that have already been fixed.

I owned a 2014 Jeep Compass with 63,xxx miles on it. I bought the vehicle brand new. On (3) occasions so far, the engine stalled out immediately after filling the gas tank. It will restart and sputter for 10-15 seconds and then run just fine. On the latest incident, after leaving a gas station after filling up the gas tank, I went to pull out into heavy, busy traffic, the engine stalled out once again. Placing me in a very dangerous situation! obviously! my research on Jeep forums and other car maintenance websites shows the problem is very likely caused by a bad/defective rollover valve. The rollover valve is located inside the gas tank. Apparently, the valve gets triggered off while refilling the gas tank when near full. Noted that the check engine light did not common on. During my research on Jeep forums and other related Jeep websites, I've noticed the engine stalling issue on many other Jeep Compass and Jeep patriots.

I have been told by my mechanics that there is an issue with my vehicle and its oil consumption. Due to the excessive oil burn, I have had to get my oil changes frequently and sooner than expected. My vehicle has suddenly turned off while driving and now has a warning that the "stop/start unavailable service stop/start system. ".

The vehicle consumes oil at an alarming rate despite being fixed by dealership. The oil pressure light will come on and stall the vehicle while driving, usually while turning. This will shut off the vehicle in the middle of roads.

I've recently out of the blue developed problems with my car. For some reason it want crank ( 2), air-conditioner making popping noise as well stopped working, and it also jerks shortly after cranking ( like a hiccup. Please let me know something as quickly as possible if my vehicle has any recalls. I would highly appreciate it.

The throttle body started malfunctioning while driving on the highway. Power was lost and I was unable to accelerate. There were vehicles behind me that had to react quickly in order not to wreck. The etc warning light did not come on at first but as my vehicle kept sputtering the light would flash on and off very quickly. I lost a great deal of speed trying to get up a hill so I could pull over and get out of traffic. After looking up the light in the manual it says to cycle the ignition and I did that. The vehicle was working ok again for a few minutes and then suddenly lost the ability to accelerate again and would go in and out, sputtering. Again thankfully the vehicles behind me were paying attention and were able to immediately slow down. I have only had the vehicle for 3 months and of course as soon as there is no warranty it starts messing up. A mechanic did confirm the issue and yes it’s available for inspection.

After 4 years of driving my 2011 Jeep Compass and hitting 95,000 miles on it, I noticed that there were problems with filling up my tank and my car stalling. If I don't stop the gas pump myself, a few seconds after pulling out of the gas station my car would stall and idle until my engine would just shut off and my wheel and break would lock. This happened while entering a highway, going into a busy intersection, and trying to get out of large mall space. In all of these settings, I was inches away from a car crash. I have brought this up to multiple mechanics who have never heard of this problem and weren't sure what to do. After doing my own research I realized that this is a common Chrysler/Jeep issue with models made between 2005-2015 models. There are no warning lamps, messages, or any signals that my car is going to stall and idle. I could not imagine a larger safety risk to myself, my passengers, and all of the drivers around me. Last week after filling up my tank and intentionally not filling it up all the way, I thought I was safe to drive home but I was wrong. As I was crossing the intersection five-way traffic, my car began to stall as a semi-truck was heading right into me. Thankfully, I shut my engine off and quickly turned it back on to move out of the middle of the road.

My Jeep burns through oil very fast. My oil change sticker will stay I do not need an oil change for 2,000 more miles but my car will shut off while driving and then be hesitant to restart. My engine light will then turn on. I will go to get an oil change and there will be nothing left. I will get an oil change and then everything will be fine again for the most part. There is no recall on my VIN but there needs to be. It is incredibly unsafe because my car has shut off on me while driving and then will not start until after a few attempts.

The Jeep will stall/stop running at various points while in motion, when stopping, when starting. There is no rhyme or reason as when this might occur. I can have the ac running or not, the heater running or not. There is no mechanical process that shows me this will happen. It is completely random. I understand there was a replaced part as part of the Chrysler s89 recall in April of 2017, which is out of warranty according to Chrysler. The problem is still persisting and is a safety issue for me considering it stalls randomly and while in motion. I purchased this vehicle from carmax in June 2021 with no notice of the former recall and issue.

The car has stalled and shut off several times while driving almost causing an accident, while driving the car just slows down and will not accelerate and has left me stranded several times.

I got my 2017 Jeep Compass in 2018 had no issues truly until about a year ago. The check engine light came on and it would jerk a little goin up hill well got a coder and it said O2 so I changed all the spark plugs and O2 and it still is on now the thunder bolt light flashes I loose power and the yellow skid mark comes on I have to turn car off let it reprogram like 10 min and it acts ok for a few min now it's so bad it won't even go 10 miles . I'm goin to have the throttle and sensor changed hopefully that fixes it.

On 2 separate occasions, my Jeep Compass has stalled completely shutting off, emergency brake engages on it's own and the steering wheel locks and the vehicle will not restart immediately. I have been on slight upward grades both times and vehicle starts shifting backwards as I attempt to get it restarted and it would not restart immediately either time. Vehicle had to be put in park, I had to wait atleast a minute if not 2 or 3 to get it to restart. Had I been in higher traffic areas or on a highway, this could have caused a major accident. Jeep dealers near me are backed up on service dates telling me they can't get it in for atleast a month and a half so I took it to a local certified mechanic who said nothing is throwing a code and drove it, but this didn't occur while they had it, so there was nothing they could do for me. I'm scared it will happen again and next time I might be in a higher traffic situation. I've read numerous other complaints like this online after searching the issue but I don't see any resolutions.

Turned vehicle on. Going down the road about a mile from home vehicle turned off while in motion. Manage to turn car on after a minute and move to a safe area. After inspection, car had thought half an inch of oil. Car is inspected with regular oil changes. No prior signs that vehicle has loss oil.

Since purchasing my vehicle the fuel saver feature has caused my car to stall at stop signs or red lights. I have taken it in many times for service for them to put a temporary update on the computer and say im good to go. Yet again this past weekend we go to stop at a red light, the fuel saver kicks on, and all of sudden the car stalls, warning messages start popping up stating engine service, transmission service, auto start/stop disabled, and the car starts rolling backwards as we were on a hill. Luckily we put our hazards on and turned the car off and back on and was then able to accelerate forward but the warning signs continue to show. To say this vehicle is going to kill someone is an understatement yet there are no active recalls for this vehicle. I have read countless articles on consumers having this exact issue for this same car with nothing being done.

On at least three separate occasions, without warning, the coolant sensor suddenly goes in to a false coolant temperature alarm as if the temperature has climbed to maximum heat. While the alarm is active, you are unable to accelerate and have no power steering. After a second, the alarm vanishes and coolant temperature gauge shows temperature back at normal operational level. This has happened while driving 65 mph on a highway. This also happened while trying to make a left-hand turn at a busy intersection. This is quite frightening and if this were to occur at the wrong moment could easily result in an accident. Other owners of the same model vehicle have reported this exact same issue in online forums such as myjeepcompass. Com. In all reported cases, dealers and mechanics are unable to determine the problem after replacing the coolant sensor and trying every possible solution. I believe this is a software or firmware issue causing a false coolant temperature alarm to trigger. I reported this to Jeep and they only recommended bringing the vehicle to a local dealer.

In April my vehicle started stalling when I would turn the corner. Then it died when my son and I were going down the highway at full speed. It just stopped running I had no power to move anymore. Then it would not sure off so I could start it again, now it is hit or miss if it will start I had to buy a jump box so I could go to the store or work. Today the auto start light came on, I am in fear for my families safety. I have reported it to Chrysler multiple times, taken my vehicle to two different dealerships all refusing to help the second dealer refuses to look at it to determine what the issue could be without me paying them first. I am scare we are going to stall again in the highway and get killed. Please help.

I purchased this vehicle in July 2021. I drive it 2-3 times per week. Each week I put in between $15-$20 in gas to bring the fuel level back up to the full mark. The Jeeps does not have good fuel economy. It definitely does not reach 22-25mpg. I drive it about 30minutes each way; with a few stops in between at about 40mph. Also, the Jeep makes a lot of noise to climb steep hills. The noise almost sounds like when you put the car in a lower gear and the car is trying to rev up to the next gear.

The contact's son owns a 2011 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while his son was exiting the parking lot and driving at 15-25 mph, the vehicle inadvertently stalled and the steering wheel locked. The contact did not know whether there were warning lights illuminated. The contact's son was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact stated his son was able to restart the vehicle and drove to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle and drove to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the roll over bent valve in the fuel tank was not closing properly leaking fuel into the evap system causing the vehicle to stall and lock the steering wheel. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. A case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

My car is intermittently stalling on idle. . . .

I have had my vehicle for 5 years and the issue is getting worse as the years go by. When my “low oil/change engine oil” light comes on, my vehicle stalls out and the lightening bolt indicator light flashes while driving. The indicator light comes on as I push the gas pedal. When I release the pedal, it goes out. Each time I attempt to accelerate/press the gas pedal, the vehicle stalls as if it’s not getting the gas it needs to accelerate. I had my fuel line and fuel pump checked and it is perfectly fine, I had a tuneup as well. I have this issue every single time that my “low oil/change engine oil” indicator light comes on and I am constantly putting oil in my engine. I am paying out money to have my vehicle checked, constantly. I was informed of the issue and there are class action suits being dismissed for the same mechanical issue that I have been having for 4 and a half years.

While in motion or idling vehicle intermittently jerks, shakes, or stalls. Rpms fluctuate, throttle sensor warning and mil illuminate, dtc of p0121 and p2135 are stored. Vehicle has suddenly lost power on interstate while in motion at 70 mph throttle position warning and mil illuminated. Vehicle stalled while in motion at 55 mph on highway, throttle position warning and mil illuminated. Both instances have occurred multiple times and are intermittent and without warning. All instances have occurred in moderate to heavy traffic creating an immediate threat to life and limb. Manufacturer has not issued any recalls for this issue despite numerous consumer complaints. Vehicle has 66545 miles.

My vehicle has nearly killed my entire family multiple times now, stalling out on the highway going 75 miles an hour, shutting off because I turned a corner, rarely starting and having to buy a jump box because my vehicle doesn't want to start due to have a bad pcm according to u87 recall that my VIN isn't included in. I have been lied to by your staff every single time I have called, I am hopeful to get the class action lawsuit that so many states have going on in missouri as well. My vehicle is extremely dangerous and going to kill my family it will be your fault it, I will ensure that an attorney is well aware of the lack of empathy, the lack of action your company has done, and downright refusal to do the necessary repairs to make my vehicle safe.

Since I bought the car is having problem with the oil I sent to the place where I bought they said is all cars 2018 Jeep Compass having a problem with the oil need to be change every 1000 mile (it does it couple of times) when I drive the car on highways or on the road car began to slow down in its own, then I have manually restart the vehicle after a few minutes, starts normally.

My 2016 Jeep Compass keeps stalling over the past six months (70,000m). It will not accelerate at times and just stalls sometime in the town and some times on the intersate. I have had it at the dealer twice and they replaced another known issue with the throttle body (had that replaced on my daughters 2017 Jeep Compass) but it still didn't help this Jeep. Replaced the throttle body twice and the dealers only suggestion was to sell it. (check engine light only came on once- and no other alarms but in a 6 hour drive it happened 15-20 times. Fearful to pass a car for fear it might stall again. . .

Car suddenly shut down on me automatically while pulling onto highways at 60mph it engaged parking brake and displayed a message on screen that stated "place shifter into park and restart". I headed for the dealership instantly. After oil consumption test it was determined that the engine would be replaced. Engine was replace mid November 2020. Not even 3000 miles on the new engine it once agian stalled out and engaged parking brake. Oil is not low. "check engine light" is on and car bogs down when accelerated. Can not drive in normal traffic. Almost like transmission is going. I have two children under 2yrs old an its our only car! I expressed my concerns about the saftey of the Jeep and it definitely is not 5here at all! my wife and I do not trust driving this vehicle one more mile.

2015 Jeep Compass stalls and loses power steering with no warning. It has happened at low speeds in my neighborhood as well as on the highway. The rpms will suddenly drop and then shoot back up and the engine will die. The power steering goes out when the engine dies. No check engine light comes on. No codes given. Sometimes will start immediately others you have to wait a while to restart.

I was driving down the road on route 73 in cinnaminson NJ at 930 pm with my 15 year old daughter. All of a sudden, without warning - the engine shut off and my car had zero power. The power steering was locked up and we almost got rear ended by a huge truck. It was terrifying. I called road side assistance and had to wait in a dark car with no heat. This is horrible.

Vehicle only had 25000 miles and had electric issues, acceleration issues, stop and go would stall in the middle of driving putting me and my child in danger. Only going a high of 50 on the freeway then slowing. This has happened multiple times, plus replacing 2 batteries a year since having the car. I have sent information to corporate. Items have clearly been documented but nothing done to solve the issue that continues.
