My Coils had to be replaced several times. Last week I started to drive my car on a major road, shaking and no power. My car had to be towed once again. My mechanic told me the Jeeps have issues with the Coils. Not sure why this keeps happening but now It's scary to drive my vehicle and not knowing how quick this happens again. Recently my check engine light came on and off, changed the fuel gas cap, and had a code read. My mechanic mentioned that there was a safety recall regarding the manifold ? if so was this ever done and where I would like documents provided.

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.
-The front subframe of the vehicle is rusted out. They never offered a recall only a service advisement(thus not informing owners of the potential issue). My subframe was found to be rusted out in a yearly state inspection but is 2 months past their extended warranty date. Therefore they deny financial responsibility to replace the part. -Driving with a rusted out subframe can cause the vehicle to loose control and crash. -The problem is acknowledged by the dealers but they refuse to issue a recall to alert everyone to the problem, therefore allowing the vehicles to go beyond the extended warranty timeframe then refuse to pay for the repairs. -The vehicle has been inspected by a licensed mechanic and issues have been documented. -There were no warning signs or issues prior to the inspection which found the corroded piece.

I have had constant problems already reported with this vehicle. The transmission overheats and dies on me or gets sluggish on the highway traffic. Today it completely died on me. After pulling over giving a minute it started back up. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves. So many ppl are reporting this same issue. They need to recall these cheap poorly made transmisdionscthat they already no are faulty. This is the 100th time this vehicle does this while in traffic im terrified to drive to work and have to leave hours early because of this
My 2012 Jeep Compass has a deteriorating catalytic converter paired with an issue with the exhaust manifold. The car has had decreased gas mileage, performance, check engine light on & continual rattling noises.
My Jeep has start to put off the smell of rotten eggs. I believe that the catalyst converter has some kind off issue. There are fumes coming out of my car and in my car. I believe it is a result of a bad catalyst converter. Engine light has been coming on after I have changed the sensors. There is no way the catalyst should be bad. I read there are issues with this model vehicles catalyst converter. This has been on going for over a year and a half and I have been replacing parts spending money that are not fixing the problem
I bought the vehicle about 3 years ago and about one month into the purchase, the engine light has been steady on and off for the last 3 years. We have brought it to a dealer, we have had the vehicle pass inspections, once the car is reset the engine light goes off. The code that has consistently come up is the catalytic converter, which we were told numerous occasions that it's just a glitch. Now, the light will not go off after a reset and are being told that we need to replace the whole catalytic converter (which I can not afford) and don't even know if it's a true issue being since the engine light constantly being on since the purchase of the vehicle and now won't go off at all. I'm wondering why this car/VIN hasn't showed up on the recall list with the others with the catalytic converter recalls!!!"??"
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.
The driver's side left footrest support broke off and became loose underfoot while driving on a highway. It became lodged under the brake pedal and I could not depress the brake pedal. Eventually was able to use my foot to clear it away and stop.
I get a no bus the how dash lights up nothing works when no bus shows up. I cant give a turn signal I don't know how fast im going. Nothing works when no bus is reading on the dashboard.
Good afternoon, I am wondering if there is a recall on the transmission. Whenever I drive 2 hours straight my transmission over heats and shuts down. I do not tow or live in the mountains. I have took this truck to the shop numerous times because of safety issues. When it shuts down on the high way. Its putting my life and kids in jeopardy. The Jeep shop and others shops and they said they can not diagnosis the problem. I need this to be corrected. Please let me know what I can do to get this corrected.
While driving 50mhp on highway car wouldn't go when pressing on gas pulled over just in time before it turned off by itself. Wouldn't start after trying a couple of times waited 5 minutes then started
"important safety recall" issued September 2016. As of February 17,2017-- 5 months later no repair is available. I am terrified to drive my vehicle with my child in it knowing there is a safety issue that puts us both at risk and seemingly no rush is being made to correct the problem in a timely fashion.
Driving on the turnpike 11/10/2016 at 530am nearing ext. 6 my truck shut off, I made it to the car shop and they stated it was the sensors. I proceeded to call the Jeep dealer and they stated senors are not covered in any warranty and that my extended warranty does cover it as well. Im very disappointed in the pointless purchase of my warranty, and the fact that I could have been killed on the turnpike. Also my truck makes this loud squeaking noise but I have taken it to 3 shops and no one knows what it is, but they all agreed it is not the brakes.
When traveling to a wedding from denver to ft. Collins, the transmission warning light came on and began to lose speed. I pulled over and let sit for about 10-15 minutes, turned it back on and continued my drive. This is the second time that it has happened and it seems to do it more on long trips and hot days. It's very annoying, especially when trying to get somewhere. Is there a recall on this car or is this something that we have to deal with? it appears there is no correction to the problem, so do I just have to live with the fact that I bought a "lemon"! very frustrating.
