2016 Jeep Compass Power Train

I have a major ground issue, where I lose power and it makes my headlights, cab lights, and my cluster to constantly flicker. There was no warnings or anything, and has been confirmed by a professional auto care center. Another issue is the engine cooling and there is no leaks I have also had it looked over by the same professional auto care center, I also had to replace the throttle body 4 times in less than 6 months. Losing power to the vehicle is definitely a danger to others and myself and my children. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request as long as it doesn't interfere with my work schedule. Also I have had to change the ignition coils 4 times in less than 6 months also completed by the auto care center. Everything listed has been ongoing since I bought the car in 2019.

I’ve had plans with my Transmission. This is its third time. First two times were under 30,000 miles and still under warranty. And were replaced by the dealer . Using my warranty. There was also a motor fire. Brakes and rotors all the way around mind you all under 30,000. Transmission was put in. I am now at 101,500. And transmissions going out so it’s been parked. Sitting in my garage. The warning lamps come on, which is a parentheses with a lightning bolt in the middle(️) Last time I did the repairs through Ramona Tires and I paid for out-of-pocket using my credit This time I was told a new transmission for the car is $7000 which I don’t have

It will stop running while driving or making turn without warning must stop put in park and restart .The more you use more it happens. Very dangerous

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while her daughter was driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 118,000.

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.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASSES TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AT 96000 MILES. IT HAS THE 2.0L I4 WITH THE CVT, ITS FWD. I WAS TRAVELING AT 35MPH WHEN IT FAILED.

MY CAR POWER TRAIN WENT OUT AS I ONLY HAVE THE CAR FOR 11 MONTHS AND TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING WELL I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR RPM WAS GOING TO 6

TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS AND THEN STALLS OUT WHEN IT IS WARM OUT. THE DEALERSHIPS I HAVE GONE TO SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP COMPASS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ACT UP FOR THEM. NORMALLY MAKE IT 45 MINUTES IN SUMMER BEFORE IT OVER HEATS. CANT KEEP CAR OVER 2,000 RMP IN SUMMER OR TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT EVEN FASTER. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MANY TIME OVER THE LAST 2 SUMMERS. NON-DEALERSHIPS WONT LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY SAY THAT THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPAIRED PER THE RECALL, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE HARD, SUDDEN JERKS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BRANHAVEN JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (348 W MAIN ST, BRANFORD, CT 06405, (203) 488-6351), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 64914088. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

VEHICLE IS SHIFTING ERRATICALLY, IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. WHEN FIRST BOUGHT VEHICLE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IS JUST THE WAY THAT TRANSMISSION IS. IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW

SHIFTER WHEN PUT IN PARK SOMETIMES ROLLS

AT 60,000 MILES A WHOMP, WHOMP NOICE STARTED FROM THE REAR OF THE JEEP WHILE DRIVING. MOST NOTICEABLE AT 45 TO 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A REAR HUB BEARING. TOTAL COST FOR REPAIR WAS $613.00 BEFORE TAX.

RIDE DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER BEGINS TO DECREASE. I HAD ALL POWER, BUT NO ACCELERATION. I PULLED OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RANNED FINE. NOT MORE THAN 5 MINUTES ITS WAS BACK NO ACCELERATION. SO THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO USE THE FORCE FROM THE HILL TO CRUISE ON HOME ON THE BACK ROADS. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT 79,000 MILES. SO NO WARRANTY!!! IT HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP! NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS!!!!

MY MECHANIC BELIEVE'S I HAVE A SENSOR ISSUE GOING ON WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS OTHER CERTAIN MODEL YEARS AS MINE. EVERY DRIVE I TAKE, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. HE HAS RULED OUT EVERYTHING ELSE, AND ONE OR TWO OF THE SENSORS ARE POINTING TO MY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TIMES. AT THIS POINT I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT.

AS A MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN, THE YOUNGEST ONLY BEING TWO YEARS OLD, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS. EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE MOTOR RANDOMLY STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES. MY CAR IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN EASILY AND EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL UNDER LIGHT LOAD IT STALLS OUT LEAVING ME IMMOBILE OR THE VEHICLE MISFIRING AND JERKING FORWARD VIOLENTLY STRUGGLING TO DRIVE WHICH PUTS MY CHILDREN AND I IN DANGEROUS OR POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATIONS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS DUE TO A BAD CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND OR BAD WIRING FROM THE FACTORY. WHEN I TYPE MY VIN NUMBER INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE FOR RECALLS IT SAYS MY VEHICLE HAS NO ACTIVE RECALLS. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER JEEP COMPASS'S OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE UNDER RECALL AND MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AS WELL. MY CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD IT SHOULD BE A RELATIVELY SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE NOT SOMETHING I WORKED SO HARD TO BUY AND AN AFFRAID TO DRIVE.

WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, EITHER AT LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC, MY RPM GAUGE NEEDLE WOULD DROP TO 0 RPMS, HOWEVER MY BATTERY IS STILL ACTIVE. I WILL THEN HAVE TO CYCLE KEY TO TURN VEHICLE BACK ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AS VEHICLE WAS MOVING/APPROACHING INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHT. AS I COASTED TO INTERSECTION MY RPMS AGAIN WENT TO ZERO. I THEN RELUCTANTLY WAS ABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL (ALTHOUGH LOST POWER STEERING) TO THE RIGHT AND CONTINUED TO COAST ONTO SHOULDER OF ROAD. PUT CAR INTO PARK, CYCLED KEY AND CAR TURNED ON BUT TOOK A SEVERAL SECONDS FOR ENGINE TO TURN OVER. TOOK VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 3X FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT WHILE DRIVING IT FOR A FEW DAYS.

AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL DRIVE TO A STORE, WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED VERY SLUGGISHLY, LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN TOP GEAR OR THE ENGINE WASN'T ABLE TO BE REV'ED UP. PUSHING ACCELERATOR TO FLOOR CAUSED ENGINE TO REV UP TO APPROXIMATELY 3500 RPM ONLY, AND RATE OF ACCELERATION DID NOT IMPROVE. TRIED SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS DID NOT RESTORE THE EXPECTED ACCELERATION BEHAVIOR. TRIED TO PUT TRANSMISSION INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE BY MOVING GEAR SHIFT LEFT OR RIGHT, BUT GEAR INDICATOR IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWED THAT TRANSMISSION DID NOT SWITCH INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE; IT STAYED IN FULL-AUTOMATIC MODE. PULLED OVER AND TURNED ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTARTED ENGINE. EXPECTED ACCELERATION BEHAVIOR RESTORED AFTER RESTARTING ENGINE.
