Service Engine Light On Problems of Jeep Compass

While driving approximately 50 mph with the cruise control on, the engine light came on and said "service engine", the engine shut off and shortly after restarted on it's own. When it restarted it did not allow me to reach the previous speed and would not allow me to restart the cruise control system. It did finally let me reach a decent speed. I parked the car and then later started the car, it appeared to be normal, the cruise control worked again. At home I was able to reset the service engine light. This was dangerous because if there was a vehicle close behind me there would have been an accident.

I took in my vehicle about a month ago to get a fix on a service engine light issue. It seemed to be a problem when I had my ac on and the transmission light and service engine light would turn on. I wouldn't be able to accelerate and it would make a jerking movement when I put my car into drive. I took my vehicle in about a month ago and they said that the problem had been fixed. Well today I get in my car to drive on the highway in the dmv and as I'm leaving the street I live on my car stops with no warning. I let it rest for a few minutes and then turn it on again; it hesitates to turn on making a weird sound then turns on about 10 seconds later. I put it in drive and it starts to drive but then jerks and completely stops. I bought this car in the beginning of the year and if I knew I would have all these issues with it and be fearful that I could've gotten into a crash or worse on the highway- I would not have bought it!.

My wife and her aunt were driving at 70-75, then it felt like when a governor kicks on. If that makes sense. At the same time the check engine light came on. Since I was already going that fast I couldn't really tell, but I thought it felt like I couldn't accelerate. Then after they stop for groceries and began driving again they couldn't get it to go over 30. Drove on the shoulder to the next exit. It felt like it wouldn't shift out of first gear to accelerate. I even tried sport mode to manually do it & it still wouldn�t. Then they pulled over and let cool briefly it was working again. When my wife finally made it home I plugged in my portable code reader to see what tripped the service engine light and the code was for transmission control module. I bought this vehicle last year with 5000 miles on it, currently it has 25,000. This is absolutely ridiculous!! and then reading the other issues people are having this vehicle sounds like a death trap waiting to happen! my family and friends will never purchase Dodge products again, junk.

When driving, the vehicle will suddenly stop, check engine, check transmission, service engine soon all light up and the car will not restart. The vehicle has had an oil and filter change at 5,000 miles. The error codes are: p3506 and p2af5: cylinder misfire fault detected, throttle position sensor, sensor reference volatage circuit low, crankshaft position sensor, engine oil pressure sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor circuit 1 low. The vehicle is 16 months old and has 7,000 miles. This has happened at least 7 times, the last 3 yesterday. All city driving, once in the driveway. Sometimes vehicle won't turn off, but you cannot move forward. If you wait about 5-10 minutes, all returns to normal until the next event. Maybe in a week, maybe in 5 minutes.

The vehicle was in motion on highway 180. The vehicles service engine light, transmission light, electronic parking brake, and service hill holder turned on. I stopped the vehicle in the sholder. I checked the transmission and engine oil and both were good. I tried putting the vehicle on drive and the electronic parking light came on and stopped the vehicle from going on drive. The light stayed on for the electronic braking service. I was able to take it off the brake still with the service lights on. I was going to shift it into drive when it made a strong popping and screeching sound on the transmission when placed on reverse. I moved it to drive and it did the samething. I tried giving it gas and the d for drive would just blink and the vehicle would not move. I waited 30 minutes and tried moving it but nothing happened. I switched the gear from parking to drive hearing the popping sound as I shifted from the p r n d. I was able to drive it for 10-15 minutes and the transmission started heating up from 180f to 192f. While leaving the vehicle stopped for a while the transmission temp did cool off but I will have it serviced since I am still stopped at the highway with my family while writing this.

My car continually shut downs while driving! this is very unsafe and happens while I am driving on the PA turnpike cruise control set. No warning no sound, the car does not over heat. The car just shuts down. I immediately called my local Jeep dealer first time it happened, at approx 3:15 am in the morning and left a message. I dropped my vehicle off 2 days later (I believe) and by that time it was jumping as well when increasing speed or coming around corners. They stated they could not replicate the issue. I went to the dealership and went out with the service mgr and replicated the issue. Car did not stall at that time and I was told with no codes, or not being able to replicate the issue they cannot determine the cause. Spark plugs replaced $300 later no jumping but car is still stalling!!!!!!! this is a very unsafe situation. My car is continuing to stall while driving to work in the early am 3am on the PA turnpike. I could be killed by tractor trailer. Again this am, I had cruise control set at 65 mph - car stalled no warning!. Thankfully I was in the right lane and coasted to the shoulder. Put my car in park, turn the key to off and attempted to restart my car - nothing!! would turn but not start, waited approx 1 minute and tried again, same thing would not start. Waited another minute,tried again and the car started and now the service engine light is on. I drove to work at 55 mph with flashers on - totally unsafe on the PA turnpike. I called my dealer immediately and left another message for the service mgr around 3am that this happened again. He advised take to an auto zone to have the code checked since they do for free. I have no confidence in this car-I drive almost 2 hrs to go to work I am so scared of this car and afraid I am going to get killed on the turnpike because of this. Will go to autozone call joe,and attempt to get home to dealer.

Front display panel flashes off and screen goes completely black then service engine light comes on and engine stalls. Then a multitude of service alerts go across the screen and the display screen continues to flash on and off. Have to transition the car out of drive and back into park in order to restart the car. Happens more when car is at a stop light.
