My 2016 jeep compass began stalling while idling at stop lights as well as stalling while driving last week. I've googled and I see that several jeep owners are having this issue as well. I've not found a recall for my specific VIN, however, there was one issued for dodge and jeeps manufactured from may, 8, 2016 - july 12, 2016. Crankshaft and camshaft sensor wire harness not manufactured correctly, this is mainly for 2.0 l and 2.4 l engines. Recall # s89/the federal safety agency hov-907. This is outrageuous! Auto shops can't seem to diagnose this issue properly, but somehow the federal safety agency did! My car is in the shop as I write this, I"ve missed two days of work and I am very upset that this vehicle has been sold, and so-called inspected prior to being sold. This recall was issued back in january of 2017, the statement was dated february 2017. I bought my jeep in january of 2018, I am the second owner, and now, I f eel as though chrysler is covering this up by not issuing a total recall on all vins this should have been sent out to all dealers, especially pre-owned dealers.

Since I bought the vehicle I've had issues with it missing, or miss firing while driving. Ive always heard there were recalls for my vehicle, but have not had success in getting it fixed unless I fix something that should have been fixed before I bought it, and it's only gotten worse. To be specific, when I press down on the gas lightly it jumps, sometimes pretty hard, it feels like the gas isn't firing when I press on the accelerator, if I press harder it works better though. It happens on highways or city streets, mostly under 60 MPH, but always in motion, but it can shake everyone in the vehicle when it misses and it worries me that it can be affecting the engine in the long run. But I noticed it after I bought the vehicle from carite very soon after I bought it.
Car throwing catalytic converter code. Was in shop 3 times this year with engine issues. Stalling out on me in the middle of nowhere. Misfiring on multiple cylinders. Driving up hills overheats losses power only goes 40 mpr up hills. Cuts out randomly.
Car loses power at times on the interstate and pulling into traffic. Feels like it's shuddering/missing gear when accelerating. Etc indicator light comes on when it gets very bad.
Stalled and end board ..
I believe my vehicle fits recall of the canam or power train sensor that needs to be fixed. My engine keeps coming on. The car bucks but not all the time. Feels like something going on with trainmisiion and at 87,000 that impossible. Please look into this matter. Yes believe recall fits my car
About 3 weeks ago my car started stalling out on me out of nowhere, I took it to a mechanic so they could try to diagnose the problem, they thought it was the battery so I bought a new one( $183). 2 days later the car started stalling out on me again while driving on the freeway a cop had to push my car out of the way because I was blocking traffic and in an unsafe location, I had to get it towed ($80) & took it to a different mechanic to diagnose the problem ($198) they said my car had a safety recall due to the crankshaft/camshaft sensor they recommended that I should take it to the dealership because that is the manufacturers fault and chrysler will fix it for free. When I went to the dealership they said my car does not qualify and that I would have to rediagnose my car for $200 and pay $540 for them to fix this issue which I am not at fault for. I asked if I would be able to get a rental through them they said I would have to pay out of pocket for it. I started a case with chrysler on 07/29 and am still waiting on the specialist to review this. I am frustrated. Every day that goes by is another day that I have to figure out how to get to work whether it be asking for a ride or paying for a rental out of pocket. I would understand if I got in a wreck and the sensor messed up I would pay for it myself no questions asked. All I'm asking is for chrysler to honor the safety recall and fix this issue. If you were in the same position I'm sure you would be stressed out as well. The car is not safe and has left me stranded while I was driving, now 4 times. My car is 2016 there is no reason this should be happening!!!! Also, I have kept all receipt and would like to be reimbursed for the headache & unnecessary charges that this has caused me.
Since beginning of 2018 my jeep has stalled while the car was in motion and I was driving. I brought it to dealer on 2/15/18. Dealer says it could be from low oil. When he checked the oil the oil level was good and clean. He recommended to change the oil anyway. Which I did. Again jeep stalled 2 times while in motion and I was driving. On the dashboard the word ESC appears and after I restart the engine it disappears. I have not seen a pattern wether it be my speed, turning or stopping at a light. Went back to dealership on 4/9/2018. Service manager checked car by plugging it in for diagnostic test. Only stored codes appeared. No code to show problem. I was told I have to wait about month for a loaner in order to leave the car at the dealership for further review. Driving this jeep is very concerning to me. I never know when and at what speed and if it will turn over.
