ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS TURN ON AND VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE CREATING THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE OVER 10MPH. WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE JEEP STALLS AND THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THESE SCENARIOS. HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE THE JEEP HAD 50,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED TO THE POINT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AS OF JUNE 2020 (ISSUES BEGAN IN JAN 2019). EXTREME HESITATION HAS OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON AN ON-RAMP ALSO CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS TO NOT GET UP TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED TO SAFELY MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. CVT TRANSMISSION BEGAN OVERHEATING AT 55,000 MILES, ALSO CAUSING THE JEEP TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 JEEP COMPASS. 2 TIMES ALREADY(ONE ON THE HIGHWAY)WHERE I AM DRIVING AND THE LIGHT COMES ON CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND TRAVEL AT A MUCH SLOWER SPEED(MY SPEED DROPS). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF THIS IS A RECALL, JEEP, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE THIS DEFECT KILLS SOMEONE. FIRST THERE WAS A DEFECT IN WHICH MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT. NOW THIS. IF ITS A RECALL, PLEASE REACH OUT TO OWNERS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE

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

AROUND 80,000 MILES MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND APPEARED TO STAY IN 1ST GEAR (I DRIVE AN AUTOMATIC). LUCKILY, I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE TRACTION LIGHT, AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT TURN ON. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY, WIRING, AND A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY ENDED UP FAILING SHORTLY AFTER I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY JEEP GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERYTHING. I RECENTLY JUST GOT AN INSPECTION. MY JEEP HAS 67,000 MILE ON IT. I HAVE HAD 2 RECALLS, IN WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. WHEN I GOT MY JEEP BACK AFTER MY INSPECTION, I NOTICE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE LAGGING WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. THIS MORNING A LIGHT FLICKERED ON THEN OFF, SO I LOOKED IN MY USER GUIDE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS. IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATING ONTO AN INTERSTATE, WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I AM MORE THAN PISSED RIGHT NOW. I HAD BEEN A DEVOTED CHEVY FAN FOR YEARS, AND WANTED TOP GIVE JEEP A SHOT. BUT AT THIS POINT, I'M READY TO DITCH THIS LEMON, AND GO BACK TO MY CHEVY ROOTS.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND NOTICED THAT MY JEEP STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ONTO AN EXIT RAMP BUT ONCE I REACHED THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP MY JEEP WOULD NOT GO ANY FURTHER. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF & WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. ANOTHER DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IT OFF BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT FOR "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" ILLUMINATED WHEN TRYING TO CRANK THE JEEP.

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP JUNE 25TH 2015. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES, AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM EVEN BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR FAX SHOWS WHERE IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED BACK ON APRIL 25, 2014. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT IT HAD TO HAVE TWO TIRES REPLACED ON 6/8/2015. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE CORRECTED. WORK ORDERS FROM 7/18/2015, 8/25/2015 AND 9/3/2015. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT I DO NOT DRIVE IT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. I FEEL ANY MOMENT I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE VEHICLE HAS SWIRLED TWO TIMES ON ME SO BAD THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE WALL. IF I HAD NOT STOPPED THE VEHICLE FAST ENOUGH, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WALL. IF A CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY RIGHT, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SERVICE ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY.
