2016 Jeep Compass UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I’m having problems with my Catalytic converter

While stopping for red lights, stop signs, or traffic congestion the gas pedal lost power. I would have to turn the key off and back on again to regain acceleration.

My passenger side headrest imploded on my 2016 Jeep Compass without an accident or collision. Dealership is only replacing the passenger side headrest; told me that they weren't doing the other side because it hasn't deployed yet.

Crankshaft position sensor was replaced twice in 2022 and once in 2023. It now needs replaced again

Whenever I fill up my vehicle with gas when driving down road it starts sputtering and jerking like it is going to stall out. It will do this even when going down an interstate at 65 miles an hour. After having driven it for a few days and the gas drops down the problem goes away. This started within a couple of weeks of my purchasing it in July of 2023. I took it the garage but they told jeeps just shifted hard. This isn’t a shifting problem because it wouldn’t be shifting when I’m on the interstate.

I was driving my children to school, my car started shaking and hesitating. No engine light came on. We live in the middle of nowhere, poor cell reception. Down the road, I turned onto a main highway and my car continued to shake and hesitated. My car would hardly go forward. I had lots of cars in front of me and behind me. Had cars passing me cause I was going to slow. finally had to pull on side of the road and turned into the airport parking lot. Here I shut off my car, and turned it back on. Finally the check engine light came on. I tried to put jeep in drive wouldn't move forward. I tried to put into reverse and wouldn't move back. My car was on, but wouldn't go any where. I had to call my mom to pick up my kids for school and wait on a town truck driver. The auto repair transferred my car to a transmission specialist who stated my transmission had a lot of damage and I would need a new transmission for over $4400. I believe these jeep compass should be recalled for faulty transmission and faulty warning that anything was wrong with the car. My engine light came on way too late, only at the part where my transmission failed. Seems like a person is owed a light to know to take this in to get fixed. My children and myself could of been killed pulling out into the highway since my car refused to go anywhere. THis is the worst vehile I have ever own. SO cheaply made. Now I have to pay $4400 when my husbTand is on Dialysis 3 times a week, and i need this car to drive him there!!!

Vehicle loses power while driving. Has issues with steering, acceleration, brakes.

I AM GETTING A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE GLOVE BOX AREA WHEN I TURN ON MY "HEATER" AND "AC" FROM THE CONTROL BUTTON IN THE DASHBOARD AREA. I AM SITTING IN THE CAR AFTER STARTING UP THE CAR AND THEN THERE IS A LOUD CONTINUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE GLOVE BOX ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. I NEED TO KNOW IS THIS A "RECALL" ISSUE IN THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF JEEP? PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT THIS MEANS IN MY CAR. IS IT DANGEROUS TO ME AS THE OWNER? THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS IN THIS MATTER.

THE CAR IS AUTOMATIC BUT STALLED AS IF IT WERE MANUAL. WHEN I COME TO A SUDDEN STOP IT WOULD STALL OUT & SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MOSTLY HAPPENS AT STREET LIGHTS & STOP SIGNS. IF I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION FOR EX: TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR TO GO AT A GREEN LIGHT. IT JUMPS AS IF NOT BEING ABLE TO CATCH A GEAR SHIFT. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE MACHANIC, THEY DIDNT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG UNDER THE HOOD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017. I'M WORRIED IT WOULD CAUSE A CRASH.

EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I TRY TO OPEN MY HOOD, THE RELEASE LOCATED UNDER THE HOOD (NOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE) WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD TO USE A BOARD TO PRY THE LEVER OVER AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO USE A GIANT SCREWDRIVER. IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE HOOD BY MYSELF. JUST NOW I TRIED PUSHING THE LEVER WITH A BOARD AS I HAVE DONE BEFORE, BUT THE LATCH WILL NOT BUDGE EVEN THEN--IF ANYTHING IT ONLY MOVES FURTHER ONTO THE "RING" INSTEAD OF OFF FROM IT. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, IE. A BEGINNING FIRE OR POSSIBLE FIRE IN THE ENGINE, I WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THERE, I WOULD JUST HAVE TO STAND BACK AND WATCH MY CAR GO UP IN FLAMES. I HAVE NEARLY BROKEN MY HAND TRYING TO GET THE THING OPEN AND I CANNOT EVEN CHANGE THE OIL NOW.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ALMOST WAS IN 5 PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON IT

ALL 4 DOORS CRACK EVERY TIME YOU OPEN OR CLOSE THEM. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE GOT IT AND THEY TESTED MOST OF THE SAME MODELS THEY HAD AND THEY ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. SUNROOF LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MAKES IT UNSAFE WHILE YOUR DRIVING.

CAM SHAFT SENSOR

CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER MAKING A TURNS

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, I.E. AT A STOP SIGN, MY CAR BEGINS TO DRIVE, THEN I HEAR THE ENGINE "REV", AS IF IT IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. IT IS IN DRIVE. THEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR, RESTART AND THEN IT IS OK..IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WOULD SAY IT HAPPENS 1X PER WEEK, SOMETIMES 2X PER WEEK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE "REVVING" BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OF COURSE!

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING DOWN 435 HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS AND MY ENGINE STALLED. I HAD TO PULL ON THE SHOULDER TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED ON THURSDAY THE 12TH OF APRIL 2016.
