2012 Jeep Compass electrical problems

Filed Jan 23, 2024 · Electrical · IL

I’m in Bradley, Illinois, and after the first snowfall, these indicators lit up. The ABS, the ESC, and the 4WD. I thought because of inclement weather, they would go off, but have remained lit for a couple of weeks now. One day, while driving to work, the throttle lagged, and I couldn’t accelerate past 20 mph for over 10 minutes amidst heavy traffic. When this occurred, the ABS light turned off, then suddenly lit up again, and the truck sped up. This has happened several times. I was told all recalls were repaired, so I am wondering if this is a new concern? Please advise. Thank you for your help and time.

I hear a knocking noise coming from behind the dash/glove compartment on the passenger side. The knocking noise randomly starts before I put the keys into the ignition, while driving and after I take the key out of the ignition. It is sometimes between 10-15 knocking sounds then it stops.

"takata recall" throttle body sensors. My teenage daughter was driving my jeep and all of a sudden the jeep slowed down and would not accelerate and she barely had enough time to pull over on the side of a 2 lane highway. She barely had cell phone signal to call me to tell me she was stranded. She was in a dead zone by air force base and was going about 45mph during heavy traffic hour. I'm glad she was understood something was wrong and quickly put on hazard lights, pull over, and shut off the jeep. She mentioned a lighting bolt light on but didn't feel the jeep was over heating. The beginning of 2019 I had a recall for the catalytic converter efficiency which I did get fixed and about 4 months later (5sep19) I purchased a new throttle body sensor and the labor work turned out to $800. Why would this not be part of the warranty or recall or is this a continuing issue for other jeeps?

Car comepletely shut down, and went limp while driving 65 MPH on highway. Car would not go over 10 MPH, power steering failed, and check engine light began flashing.very dangerous as car shuts off without warning at high speeds. Power steering came back on and check engine light was no longer flashing. Had it towed; upon arrival, car turned back on again with no issues or check engine light. Check engine came back on later in the day. This seems to be a recurring issue. Mechanic was unsure if it had something to do with a sensor or crankshaft issue.
