The engine stalls while driving. i've read this issue is present in other dodge and jeep compass models of this year, however, the recall that exists for those vehicles doesn't appear to exist for my vehicle. this is incredibly unsafe as the engine immediately stalls as i'm driving the vehicle down the road and i'm afraid of crashing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep compass. while driving 40 mph, the vehicle hesitated and the electronic throttle controller warning indicator illuminated. the contact stated that the failure persisted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact was concerned that the failure was related to nhtsa campaign number: 16v907000 (engine and engine cooling). neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified. the failure mileage was 57,000.
I bought a 2016 jeep compass brand new from the dealership. after only three years (72,500 miles), the transmission completely failed while i was driving on a major highway. the jeep, which is a manual 5 speed transmission, would not shift into any gears. it made horrendous grinding noises as the vehicle failed and failed to shift into gear. prior to it completely dying, it was stalling out on me and slipping out of second gear while driving it. this is a safety concern, not to mention how disappointing that a car which is only three years old would have a transmission that completely failed on it. the jeep was well-maintained and garage kept. it was never driven anywhere except main roads and highways.
Etc, air bag, tracking indicator lights come on randomly. have had to go to jiffy lube twice to have sensors reset with one remaining. eventually indicators come back on again. they come on while driving. hard to get jeep to move, "jerky" until i reach 20 mph. have to pull over to turn car off then turn back on, continue for a mile and then repeat.
2to3 second delay upon acceleration while driving or standing! causing great concerns on safety operation of motor vehicle. while under warranty, phillips jeep,3440 s.pine avenue,ocala,fl. 34471 (352)732-7577 ; inspected and performed a pcm update on 23sept19. no charge to customer. however,a delayed acceleration can cause serious problems in traffic when entering intersection or interstate hwy. this occurred while standing/stopped and or in motion. vehicle in question is a 2016 jeep compass,fwd;2.0 liter.
While getting onto a highway, my rpms dropped and i temporarily lost power steering and started slowing down, then it "caught" and i was able to drive it straight to a car place to get the free diagnostics. everything came back normal so i left. later in the day as i was pulling out of my neighborhood it stalled again and completely shut off this time. when trying to turn it on again it either would but then would immediately stall again or it would just never start. while trying to turn it on, all the dash lights light up including check engine, which has not been on until the car stalled the second time.

While driving approximately 15 (fifteen) miles on a city street, i noticed my car had consumed 1/3 of a full fuel tank. engine will begin to stall out if speed is 25mph or under causing an abrupt and noticeable decrease in speed resulting in people having to swerve to avoid hitting me. change oil light constantly flashes across the odometer and will not reset no matter what i do.
Vehicle will without warning stall in the middle of driving, in city traffic, on country roads, starting up a hill as well as driving on flat straight road. i've been driving 55mph, 45 mph 25 mph and it will stall, the traction control light will come on. sometimes the car will not restart for 10+ minutes after stalling. each time i was driving in traffic, and had children in the vehicle with people behind me. engine just cuts all power, power steering is lost. also have noticed a huge drop in fuel efficiency, used about 1/4 of a tank in 30 miles, acceleration and vehicle not shifting normally. this is the 6th time in two weeks it has stalled, and 2nd time to take it into the dealership with this issue. i've only had about 6 months, it was cpo and have driven it about 10,000 miles

As i am driving the car stalls. this happens a lot when i slow down then press the gas again, also when i turn. this happens everyday on the highway and side streets, this has lead to almost getting into multiple car accidents. be advised you are only allowed to report one date of occurrence, this is a daily issue. there is a recall for the 2016 compass that describes the issue my car is having to the t. it does not include my vin number, but i think this should be re-evaluated as this is a very dangerous issue. be advised the recall s89 states, 'the crankshaft or camshaft sensor may only work intermittently, causing the engine to stall.' please see the attached for proof of recall details. *dt*jb
While driving mostly on highway car hesitates like it will stall or not getting enough gas. had coils replaced but after awhile did same thing. afraid to drive car as may cause accident. this has been happening for a few months going back and forth to dealer unsuccessfully. need to know what to do before serious accident occurs.
Car stalls for no reason while driving. the vin shows no recalls, but chrysler recalled vehicles for this problem in dec. 16, 2016 ( recall 16v907000), including 2016 jeep compass. has happened multiple times over the past month.
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
I have a 2016 jeep compass and it randomly just turns off while i am driving it. my car has 55,000 miles on it. when it first happened it had a code for a crank sensor and i was told it required an update. the update did not change a thing. my car was still turning off at random times. this last time it turned off at a red light and while in drive began to roll backwards down a hill into oncoming traffic. once i stopped the car, put on my flashers, and had it in park my jeep compass would not start again. i then had to flag down a police officer to help with the traffic around me. my car eventually started and i drove it right to the jeep dealer who told me there was no codes and nothing wrong with my car, which clearly there must be problem. i do not feel safe for myself or others while driving this car. chrysler needs to fix this problem. there have been many people on this site complaining of the same exact problem. 2016 jeep compass had a recall for the crank sensor but my car did not fall under this recall but clearly it should have. this is my 3rd time at the chrysler dealer who have been unable to recreate the problem i have been experiencing.
Sometimes when driving it stutters and acts like it can't catch up to the speed that i'm going.
Engine jerks as if it's a stall issue
My jeep compass 2016 had been to the mechanic in 2 different garages. for 60 days i've experienced engine shut off while in motion. there was no warning, no engine light. no warning what so ever. this situation was very dangerous as my car would lose power in the middle of the 4 way intersection, it would shut off on the freeway. stall out and shut off at stop lights. i was afraid of driving my car but i had to get to work which was 30 miles away from my home. 2 mechanics told me that the engine on diagnostic testing showed no codes, they did not know what was wrong with it. finally a mechanic looked at my research and agreed to replace the crankshaft sensor which had been recalled on 2016 compass jeep but my vin was not under the recall (why) after this sensor was replaced the car drove perfectly, no more stalled engine and shut off while driving. i beleive that jeep chrysler should pay for this repair as it is a 2016 jeep compass and they have fixed others. i will never buy a jeep or chrysler. most scary car problem i ever encountered. i am a 55 year old driver, having driven over a million miles in my life time. to have a car shut off its engine in mid flight is very dangerous. hope this will help others understand what is happening if they own a jeep.
Recall on 2016 jeep compass from may 9th- july 15 the crankshaft , camshaft sensor may only work intermittingly causing engine to stall. at 67,000 miles my car which always ran very well stalled, "engine shut off in mid flight" i was driving up a hill, slowed to stop and turn right when the engine died, completely shut off. i put jeep in park. tired to restart which it did not restart and i waited an hour for the triple aaa. we brought it to a mechanic who told me he could not find anything wrong with it as the diagnostic tests showed nothing , he started it and claimed he drove down the rode and back and it was fine. i picked up my jeep and drove it home but was afraid to drive it anywhere. i called mechanic number 2 who took a look at it and told me his diagnostic equipment showed no code, he drove it and could not reproduce the problem he repaired the throttle body replace it and cleaned iac valve and mass air flow sensors. told me it was fine should be ok to drive. i drove it off the lot not more than 15 miles as i was turning right slowing down then accelerating it stalled in mid flight car engine died. i put flashers on and put car in park, then 2 minutes later it started and i drove home. there is something very seriously wrong with this jeep it could easily be involved in a collision as it is unpredictable when it will stop, engine dies. i will take it back to mechanic number 2 for a second evaluation. i have called the dealer. they told me they would charge me for diagnostic testing and if no problem i would have to pay them $117 for the hour they would put the mechanic on it to check it.

Vehicle was being driven at normal speed 60 mph.on new jersey parkway sunday aug. 20 th 8:45 pm ( near exit iselin ) when without warning vehicle started to rapidly decelerate to 25 mph. put on hazard flashers so that i could warn other drivers that my vehicle was in distress. dashboard showed engine light warning . drove additional 2 miles and got vehicle to nearest gas station and shut down engine, called chrysler customer assistance and filled a report. vehicle was going to be towed but it resumed to run after 30 min. normally. very bizarre!!!!!
After starting the vehicle and letting it run for a few minutes, we turned off the engine and left the vehicle. within a few minutes, we noticed a fire in the engine compartment. we attempted to put out the fire with three extinguishers but were not able to do so. another employee called 911 and the local fire dpt. put out the fire. the vehicle was a total loss. we contacted chrysler who sent an investigator to inspect the damage. chrysler later sent us an e-mail stating they could not determine that the fire was a result of a "manufacturing or assembly error". we believe the damage is a result of a defect in the vehicle. even though the vehicle is still under the powertrain warranty, chrysler refuses to cover the loss.

My 2016 jeep compass has stalled out twice within approximately a 7-week period. once in a parking lot (2/8/2017) and today (3/29/2017) a stall-out occurred in traffic. today, i was stopped on the highway to make a left-hand turn. traffic was backed-up, so when it began to move, i moved my foot from the brake to the gas pedal to make the turn, and the jeep stalled. i put the jeep in neutral, and it immediately started. however, this was in heavy traffic. between the stall-outs, the vehicle will "jerk" periodically, especially after slowing down and then having to accelerate. these hard "jerks" have become more frequent and are occurring on a daily basis. both issues appear to occur when speed is lower and/or have to decelerate or accelerate because of traffic. also, if the vehicle has sat overnight or an extended period of time. no lights appear on the dashboard during these "jerks" or stall-outs. today will make the 4th time within the seven-week period i will have the vehicle back at the dealership's service department. i bought the vehicle new and have had it less than one year. it has approximately 11,500 miles on it.
