2014 Jeep Compass: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Jun 24, 2023 · Acceleration, Engine · AR

The first time the situation occurred we were out of town. Warning lights appeared. The car had sluggish acceleration, noisy, rough ride, hesitating, jerking type movements . We thought it was going to stop. The message appeared "Do not drive the vehicle." My husband took the Jeep to the dealer and they were supposed to have fixed it. He was told it was the throttle. We drove the Jeep and the problem stopped for a while. It occurred again on May 25, 2023 and we had to turn around and go back home and park the vehicle and we have not been able to drive it. I found the following information; 2014 Jeep Compass Among Chrysler Vehicles Recalled for Stall Risk. We have never received a letter about a recall. Warning lights came across the board.

As I was driving yesterday my vehicle just randomly stalled out on me and after searching I find that this was an issue that lead to a recall. My vehicle at times will shutter/hesitate or whatever you want to call it which is also described in the recall. I don't believe this issue was properly resolved when the previous owner supposedly had it fixed

The warning lights on the dash board go on intermittendly for the ABS, traction control, and 4wd. When driving the vehicle, the engine will pause a few seconds, warning lights will go on, and vehicle will proceed forward. The most significant instance was when I was turning left into an intersection, the vehicle vibrated for approximately 30 seconds, speed reduced to 2mph, warning ligts for ABS, traction control, and 4wd went on, and vehicle proceeded forward. I had vehicle serviced three times for this problem. When the vehicle is connected to the computer to run diagnostics, nothing is indicated. The mechanic changed the wheel bearing 4 times with the hope that would correct the problem. It has not. When driving on a highway, the vehicle seems to shift into this error mode with the pause, ABS, traction control, and 4wd lights go on and the vehicle proceeds forward. It does not happen when backing up. I fear this will cause an accident because of the hesitation of the engine when this happens..
