Transmission Not Go Into Gear Problems of Jeep Compass

My vehicle went from not being able to control acceleration or accelerate and making a strange sound while in motion while the rpm was steady going up, to not accelerating at all while in motion, to not shifting gears, to not doing anything in less than 24 hours. I was on the highway when I first noticed all of the problems. I had to pull on side of the road multiple times. It was scary and dangerous being on side of the road as a woman at night with very little lighting in the area. When the vehicle didn't want to do anything at all it was parked.

When the vehicle is parked after being in motion, I often get an error message for the transmission followed by a check engine light. When this happens, the vehicle has a hard time shifting. By this, I mean that whenever I shift into another gear the vehicle stalls then has an abrupt shift that moves the entire vehicle. If the vehicle is not turned off for a minimum of 30minutes, the vehicle will not exceeds speeds of 35 mph. The vehicle also continues to make a noise that sounds like it is being forced into motion.

Car has shut off while driving about 12 times the past 2 years. I noticed started after 6k. My oil is perfectly fine and I keep up with all the oil changes especially since it is a lease and is free with who I lease it through, its very dangerous and I have 4 children!!!!! also sounds a hard knocking sounds while accelerating as it shifts into another gear and jerking of the entire car forward when this happens I had to immediately slam on my brakes as it almost caused huge accident and not to mention shakes me and my children up every time this happens. Why aren't there any recalls on this if there are soooo many complaints?.

While accelerating onto a highway, my vehicle suddenly shut off. I immediately put hazards on, tried to pull to the side, stopped and tried turning the car back on, after 2 attempts it turned back on but I was scared the entire hour long ride home so drove in the slow lane so that I could pull right off the highway if it happened again. I took the vehicle for service and they said it was the hood latch sensor. They replaced it and it worked fine for a month or so then again this happened while driving down the road about 40 mph, car suddenly shut off. Again another scary experience. Took the car back and they said the actual hood latch needed to be replaced. Pulled out of service center and it happened again, pulled back in to service center and a day later they called and said hood needed realignment. Worked again for a few months then today, again driving down the road, oil pressure low warning flashed on my dash then went off, the check engine light flashed on then yet another warning that read switch to p then desired gear. Car then lost almost all power but luckily had just enough power to get me to a side road where I barely made it onto the road before it shut off. I tried turning it back on and after 2 tries it powered on but when I put into drive and hit the gas, it would not move. It was like it would not engage in gear. This is an extreme safety hazard as this vehicle suddenly stop without warning while driving.

Vehicle leased new began to have grumbling, load humming noise coming from transmission at 37mph. Took test drive in another vehicle same noise. Jeep said known issue waiting for update. Took vehicle back to dealer updated transmission and drive line module. Noise still there, if vechile placed in 4x4 or esc turned off noise will disappear. Noise sounds like it can be driveline or transmission not in right gear. Car is not shifting correctly and rpm goes high. Vehicle has stalled out a few times for no reason car was stationary with foot on brake and the auto start off disabled. Heated steering wheel and seats get extremely hot. Shut down on there own at times for no reason. Poor gas mileage is related to engine, transmission and driveline problems.

Entered bank parking to use atm machine, at that time when stepped on brake to stop the car, it accelerated like someone was stepping on gas pedal. At that time I tried to stop the car by shifting into another gear and also tried pulling key out of the ignition. At that time knew I had to get car stopped without hurting anyone, so there was a wooded area behind bank, I ran car into area that had huge rocks which I ran over and therefore hit a tree head on to stop my car. The car was still running would not shut off and would not still charge gears or car would not shut off and the air bags did not deploy (any of them). Not sure if this is a brake, engine, transmission, computer, air bag, or a combination problem.
