My 2015 Jeep Compass will randomly stall while I am driving... randomly breaking while im driving. Then very frequently it will not let me drive past 20 miles per hour (sometimes slower than this). It randomly acts like this. It always feels like it does not want to accelerate... it will sometimes but most times doesn't. I have taken it to both a private service center and to the dealership multiple times. The dealership states each time they see nothing wrong with my car. No codes pop up. Also when this happens nothing pops up on my dashboard. Driving this car has put me at risk multiple times that I refuse to drive it now. The last time I drove it, it was going 10 mph and I was reversing into my driveway and the car randomly sped up while I was reversing then went back to going super slow. I know someone in the same area as me with a jeep and she said her jeep has been doing similar things and the dealerships don't know what's wrong with it. The car has a mind of its own and is unsafe to me the driver and the drivers around while it is on the road. Nothing was wrong with my car prior to this... this randomly started happening and never stopped months later.

I purchased my 2015 jeep compass sport january of 2020. Summer of 2020 I had to replace my camshaft sensor and my crankshaft sensor becuase my car completely shut down while I was at work and would not start. This year january of 2021 I was driving home on the highway going 65 MPH while it was snowing heavily and my cars check engine light and traction control light came on at the same time and slowed the power of my car in the middle of the highway. I got my car read and the code came back as p0365. I have had the cam shaft sensor replaced 3 times already this month and I'm still experiencing the same problem. Again on my home from work on the highway at night my cars check engine light and traction control light came on and slowed down my car. I took the back roads home as I did the first time this happened and noticed that when I drove my car would randomly accelerate on its on and hesitate to pick up speed one I had stopped or pressed my foot to the gas pedal.
The car has shut off multiple times while driving on the road. I have had the transmission flushed, replaced the battery, had the throttle sensor control replaced, had the crankshift replaced, and the catalytic converter replaced. I took the car to the jeep dealer and even after replacing the catalytic converter the car still shuts off, and they cannot tell me why. The dealer stated that no codes are coming up so they cannot identify the issue.
Rough idle, spotty acceleration, remote start cuts out, engine light, ebs light, throttle control light all come on, higher RPM this issue sounds like multiple others that people have had, but there's no recall for my VIN?. The attached description from another person is exactly what is happening to mine. My vehicle has 62500 miles.
Check engine light came on,throttle control light starts flashing, traction control light starts flashing, remote start cuts out. Idle becomes irregular and vehicle runs rough to not being able to accelerate but will idle in park at over 2000 rmps. Vehicle only has barely 19000 miles. It had to be towed to dealership.
Vehicle not starting, unable to accelerate over 20mph, idling, shaking, radio unexpectedly stopped working, vehicle not communicating with the 'computer' ECM
While driving my vehicle at the normal speed it suddenly begins to slow down to a snail pace. The throttle light and the stability light came on
