2016 Jeep Compass Electrical System

Car stalls while driving. Sometimes car will not start. Car cranks but doesn’t start. Check engine light and sometimes the traction control light goes on. This seems similar to what is the safety recall S89 but our car was manufactured in September 2015. Root cause seems to be in the relay box with the automatic shutdown being corroded and subsequent issues with the crank shaft position sensor based on codes thrown.

ALTERNATOR FAILED PREMATURELY AT ONLY 20,358 MILES.

THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING SOMETIMES. THERE WASN'T ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR ANYTHING. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE CRANKCASE SENSOR. I SAW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHERE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP AND WAITED AROUND FOR TWO HOURS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. AFTER CALLING DEALERSHIPS AND THE JEEP HOTLINE INNUMERABLE TIMES, IT APPEARS THAT NO ONE HAS THE ACQUIRED PART. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE BEING DRIVEN DUE TO THE CAMSHAFT WIRE HARNESS BEING DEFECTIVE. *JS
