UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THIS STRANGE LIGHT LIT AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RACING BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I TRIED GOING AGAIN BUT WITHIN 500 FT AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FRANTIC I PULLED INTO A SHOPPING MALL AND PULLED OUT THE CAR'S MANUAL. I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY LIGHT. I MADE THE TRIP HOME AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SCANNED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REPLACED THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR IS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE WITH 52,363 MILES. I WAS CHARGED $556.54 TO FIX MY NOT YET 5 YEAR OLD CAR!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SEAT BELTS
RIGHT NOW IT DOESN'T RUN BECAUSE THE BRAIN WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK FROM LUNCH. THERE'S NO RESPONSE TO THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHER DAY IT COMPLETELY STOPPED DEAD WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. TO TOP MY MATTERS OFF WITH THIS VEHICLE IT'S HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL RECALLED AND REPLACED AND MANY OTHER PARTS IT'S A TERRIBLE VEHICLE. TO TOP MY STRESS WITH IT MY SEATBELT DOESN'T LOCK WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO SO IF I WRECK LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I HONESTLY WISH I COULD AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE MINE I FEEL IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME. I HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT IT WAS DOING BEFORE IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN CAN'T UPLOAD ANY PICTURES BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DO JUSTICE.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ABS BRAKING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND AVOID ACCIDENTS. ONCE I'M ABLE TO STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT WILL RESTART AND DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR CODES IN THE COMPUTER THAT IDENTIFY AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK IN ALL TEMPETURES AND CONDITIONS.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS WAS INVOLVED IN A 5 CAR ACCIDENT 3/4/2019 IN HENDERSON NV. PROCEEDING EAST BOUND ON I-215, A WHITE HYUNDAI WAS STALLED IN THE CENTER LANE IN THE BEGINNING OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. A RED TOYOTA TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH STRUCK THE REAR END OF THE HYUNDAI CATAPULTING THE HYUNDAI ACROSS LANES INTO THE PASSENGER DOORS (FRONT AND BACK) OF OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS DESTROYING THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR WHERE MY 12 YEAR OLD SON WAS SEATED CAUSING INJURY TO HIS SHOULDER NECK AND ARM. AT NO TIME DID THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE, WERE DESIGNED TO DO OR MARKETED AS A SAFETY FEATURE. IN ADDITION THIS CRASH WAS AFTER FULFILLING THE REQUESTED TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WORK AND RETURNING OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS TO CHAPMAN CHRYSLER JEEP SERVICE CENTER FOR RECALL WORK SPECIFICALLY ON THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER . THE RECALL WORK WAS COMPLETED BETWEEN 12/10-13/2018. OUR 2014 JEEP COMPASS WAS ALSO EAST BOUND ON I-215 TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND WAS JUST PASSING IN THE LEFT FURTHERMOST LANE THE STALLED HYUNDAI WHEN THE TOYOTA REAR ENDED THE HYUNDAI CATAPULTING THE HYUNDAI INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR JEEP COMPASS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD, AFTER A CURVE IN THE ROAD, MY JEEP"S TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL STARTED FLASHING. MY JEEP THEN WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I COULDN'T DRIVE FASTER THAN 40 MPH. I'M SO GLAD THAT I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD BECAUSE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY JEEP HOME AND IT HAS BEEN FINE SINCE BUT NOW I'M CONSTANTLY WORRIED THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANYTIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'VE TRIED REFUELING MY KEEP. AND NUMEROUS TIMES THE FUEL HAS SHOT BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPILLED ON THE FLOOR AND ALL OVER ME. THOUGHT IT WAS ME AND ASKED A MECHANIC AT ANNADALE SERVICE CENTER IN STATEN ISLAND TO HELP AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. SO OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SERVICE AT ISLAND JEEP CHRYSLER. A DIAGNOSIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FILLER TUBE.
