I purchased my jeep compass january of 2020. Summer of 2020 my camshaft and crankshaft sensor went out completely shutting down my car, then january of 2021 my camshaft sensor went out again. This time I was driving on the highway and my cars check engine and traction control light switched on at the same time and slowed the speed of my car. I've replaced my camshaft 3 times already this month and I'm still getting the same code of p0365
2015 Jeep Compass electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving and when I step on the gas, car limps and no power goes to moving the car forward. Will be driving 50 MPH on highway and all movement forward will come to a stop. Check engine light comes on. No mechanical issue, have had the car serviced twice with no resolution. Car is 5 years old with 85k miles on it.
Car wont start,put in new battery, worked two days and wont start again.this have been going on for about six months.sometimes it will start if I get a jump but now it wont start at all.the vehicle will be parked but once I try to restart it it wont crank. Not doing anything now after getting a new battery 2 days ago.also had the cable connects that connect the battery changed.
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.
2015 jeep compass latitude 4x4 with a 2.4l engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle only has 80,000 miles on it. About a week ago we were driving down the road in our neighborhood when the car went into limp mode, no power to the wheels and the enging started chugging. Came to a complete stop and the RPM's were at 1500 at idle. Check engine light, throttle control light, ABS, and traction control light turned on. I shut off the engine and waited a couple seconds and turned it back on. All the lights turned off and the vehicle seemed fine. I drove it home and hooked up my scan tool and there were no codes so I had no idea what to look for. Two days later we were driving down the highway and it happened again in a construction zone with no shoulder and no exit! The car would not accelerate and chugged to a stop, had to hold up traffic to turn the car off and back on to get moving again. Two miles later it happened and we had a shoulder to pull over onto. I stopped the car and tried to scan the engine and again no codes but the dash was lit up like a christmas tree. After turning it back on the car was stuck in limp mode and would not move. Had to have it towed to the shop. After throwing a bunch of money at it we finally found it was a faulty throttle body. The pedal sensor and the throttle body were not communicating. It cost us $719.67 to have it fixed not to mention the tow.
Back in june/july 2018 my vehicle would keep bucking while driving and the throttle light and check engine light would come on. I called dealership and they told me not to drive it until it was serviced. The vehicle only had 53,000 miles but was over the warranty and was not covered under the powertrain warranty. I feel this should have been covered. I see a lot of other people are complaining about this. Will this be recalled. It cost me over $500.00 to fix this. Let alone the dangerous driving situation with it losing power while driving on a major route with alot of traffic. I also had to have my power window unit replaced. It got stuck while down. I took it to dealership while under warranty they fixed it. But it happened again after warranty was over and I was charged to replace motor. Is this why jeep only gives 3 year warranties because their parts aren't designed to last much after that.
The electronic throttle contol light came on and I experienced throttle control failure while the vehicle was in motion going about 45mph, at night, in the rain, in a construction zone, with a vehicle behind me and oncoming traffic, and my child in the car. The car seemed to stall out and would not accelerate, I was able to quickly turn on my hazard lights and turn the ignition off and restart the vehicle and go. This could have been a terrible accident!!!!! The malfunction indicator light remains on.
Throttle control failure while operating vehicle. Has happened multiple times with no real answer for repair or cause for failure. Causes: loss of control, speed and acceleration on highway. Very dangerous situation that can potentially cause death and/or serious accident if not corrected. ## VIN passed ## jeep compass 2015 ##
I was driving the car at about 25 MPH and as I came to a stop the check engine light came on. I tried to continue driving but it wouldn't drive as I pressed on the accelerator.the prnd all had a square around them. The mechanic was able to fix the problem by making sure all cables were clear from dust, debris or not connected properly. That seemed to work the first time. After 5 days of driving the car it happened again. As I merged into the expressway the car suddenly lost acceleration. Check engine light, slip indicator, temperature warning light all came on, and prnd all had a square around them. The car wouldn't run properly, as if it was stuck in first gear. It wouldn't drive past 15mph. Took it to the mechanic and 7 wires were burned out. I believe the wires that go to the transmission. He explained to me that the wires were over a sharp edge on the body and when the car moved the wires would rub against the sharp edge because there was nothing protecting the wires from the body. He also said there was a spark mark on the body of the car and that was due to the short circuit the wires caused.
All engine lights came on, electrical components started going out, then car would not go over 10 miles per hour, even with the accelerator pushed all the way down, then the car completely shut down on the middle of a very heavily traffic road. Power steering, all electrical components and engine refused to work. Had to have the compass towed to nearest dealer and problem was the entire computer system went out. 4 month old vehicle and the entire computer system fried. Took 6 days to get it replaced. Now two months later the exact same thing has happened again and the dealership doesn't seem to care. Says it's under warranty and will be fixed, but don't seem to understand the sever danger this defective vehicle puts my family and me in when we drive it without knowing when and where the computer system will blow again. What if I was pulling out of an intersection and the car shut down like this and my family gets hit by traffic. Something needs to be done!
The vehicle engine shut down while driving.
I was proceeding through a green light. A car coming from my left ran their red light at full speed (approx. 30 MPH) and crashed into my car. My entire front end was damaged. It was pushed in at least 10-12" according to the responding fire department & emt's my airbag should have absolutely gone off and it did not. I was transported to the hospital for neck pain. Luckily nothing is broken but I have severe neck, back, and head pain almost a full week later. I am starting physical therapy next week.
