Ii kept my Jeep Compass up todate with oll changes and brakes and tires. I have now experineced a real bad noise from under the engine. I thought it was my brakes or pulley. It turns out I need a new transmission. I have a 5 speed. I have metal shaving in my transmission and my car is not even 5 years old. I love my car and now it is going to cost me 4000+ to get it fixed. There are other warrantys on the same type of cars but not mines.

Dangerously dropping into limp mode without warning or ability to override for safety. Early full system transmission failure without no options for repair. Finally died by making whining noise, going into limp mode and staying there. The excessive cost of replacing the transmission makes it not cost effective. Only option is to replace the vehicle altogether.

While driving on the highway the transmission overheat light came on. I had been driving about 45 minutes on hw. The Jeep started making a loud whining noise and slowed down. It would not go over 45. It felt like the transmission was sticking some and had a bit of a shake. I pulled it over and had towed to our mechanic. Once he looked at it the next day there were no codes showing and it drove fine. I see there are recalls on this for other Jeeps, but my VIN was not one of them. Not understanding why this is.

2014 Jeep Compass sport with manual transmission. Transmission was rebuilt in 2017, under warranty by the dealer due to making a lot of noise while driving the vehicle. As of 8/24/19, the same problem has returned. Vehicle now has 122,896 miles on it. Jeep customer service states that even though vehicle transmission was rebuilt in 2017, that this did not extend warranty and I may have to pay for this repair unless Jeep decides to give good will service. I have driven only manual transmission vehicles since I was 14 years old, now 71, and have never had a transmission fail, clutches have been replaced on vehicles in the past at around 150,000 miles, but never a transmission. Apparently Jeep has a problem with manual transmissions?? don't think three transmission in 122, 896 miles is anywhere normal.
Vehicle stops moving randomly at highway speeds and must be restarted to get it to move. Will barely accelerate and rpms are extremely high st low speeds. Vehicle surges and won't accelerate. Horrible whining noises. Vehicle stalls, or won't move when trying to ascend up hill or when entering the highway. I have almost been hit multiple times due to these problems. I have taken this vehicle to ther mechanic twice and had the computer run diagnostics. The cause of these problems is the automatic transmission. There are numerous accounts of this problem regarding this make and model of vehicle. This has been happening for approximately 4 months.

I was driving my vehicle at the speed limit (60-65 on freeway) the tachometer soared to about 3500and the vehicle made a noise. It lost all power and I had no control. I almost hit another motorist trying to get off the freeway. When I turned left or tried to at the top of the exit the vehicle wouldn't move that's when the transmission temp indicator light came on. I finally turned left and the vehicle traveled about 2-5 mph. I stopped at a gas station and looked the light up in the owners manual. According to the manual if you put the vehicle in neutral and idle for a bit the light will go off. We did so and then drove around a bit sending it still wasn't right we then went to a service station who put tranny fluid in it. And we continued to drive home. About 3 hrs later, the vehicle tachometer started to climb again. We pulled over again off the freeway in safe location. I called emergency roadside assistance. Vehicle was towed to Jeep Chrysler dealership. Once the dealership had time to inspect the vehicle I was told the cvt transmission was ruined. This is the first time we took this vehicle anywhere further than 20 mins from home! this transmission is a known problem as the warranty manual stipulated. It's unsafe as and my family lost power and almost hit a car without any warnings. I've called Chrysler and they won't do anything about this issue. On this particular day we were in hilly southern ohio on a hot day. Seriously how is it fair or even legal to sell such a vehicle that won't stand up to typical driving conditions without threatening my life? this tranny is junk it's all over the internet. The dealer we got our rental car from said he wouldn't buy them or sell them because they are a mechanical defect. I want this thing recalled before it fails someone else and someone dies in the accident as I almost did. 06/25/2019.
Transmission temp light came on and car lost speed and made funny whining noise. We had to pull off the road and wait till light went off. It was a warm day, about 94 degrees and driving in wy. Same thing happened again in KS on a warm day. The ac was being used. I've seen may reports of this happening to other cars with the cvt. I want Jeep to replace the tyranny.

I was driving to atlanta on 10/2/2013 & 11/6/2013 and the panel light came on for the transmission overheating. I was driving around 75 mph and I heard a winding noise, I lost power, and my rpm's went to 4/5. I had to pull over due to the fact that I couldn't get my speed over 20-30 mph. The temp outside was 68 degrees so the heat outside did not contribute to this problem. There was a point when it wouldn't even accelerate. My vehicle has around 137,000 on it. I do see many complaints regarding this issue and something really needs to be done.

In June of 2012 I was pulling out of a parking lot and as I merged on to the main road I heard a scraping noise, I pulled over and looked underneath and saw a metal tube hanging from the bottom of the engine, I took it out and noticed it was the transmission filler tube, it had snapped off. I took it to the dealer and they replaced it. The other day[April 2015] I was changing my air filter and noticed that the filler tube was gone again went to the dealer and they told me that it wasn't covered under manufacturer warranty. It is a flaw in the design of the vehicle I understand a sensor going bad but something that is not supposed to break off should be covered.
