2015 Jeep Compass Electrical Problems

Your Jeep is stalling and shutting off completely while driving, happening daily without warning on highways, during turns, or normal driving. When this happens, you lose power steering and have to stop in the middle of the road, creating a dangerous situation. No warning lights appear on your dashboard and no error codes show up when scanned, making diagnosis difficult.

Your car's check engine and engine coolant temperature lights are coming on, and you're experiencing multiple electrical failures including a non-working horn and radio. Along with these warning lights, your vehicle sometimes loses acceleration, accelerates on its own, or stalls while driving. The dealer has found multiple trouble codes but hasn't been able to identify the root cause despite multiple previous repairs.

At 80000 miles stated doing weird electrical issues windows wouldn’t go up or down then they would auto lock on the doors wouldn’t kick in for miles then it stalled in traffic tried to restart sounds like starter is engaged already there crankshaft position sensor code so we replaced it it was fine for a couple months dies again in traffic was told starter replaced it it started once then sounded like the starter was already engaged when we went to start it later. Took to shop and had electrical systems checked and it is the TIPM that is bad I see this issue coming up often when I searched the internet for some information on the issues I was having Currently still in the shop awaiting parts and repair

I have had my vehicle for 5 years and the issue is getting worse as the years go by. When my “Low Oil/Change Engine Oil” light comes on, my vehicle stalls out and the lightening bolt indicator light flashes while driving.The indicator light comes on as I push the gas pedal. When I release the pedal, it goes out. Each time I attempt to accelerate/press the gas pedal, the vehicle stalls as if it’s not getting the gas it needs to accelerate. I had my fuel line and fuel pump checked and it is perfectly fine, I had a tuneup as well. I have this issue every single time that my “Low Oil/Change Engine Oil” indicator light comes on and I am constantly putting oil in my engine. I am paying out money to have my vehicle checked, constantly. I was informed of the issue and there are Class Action Suits being dismissed for the same mechanical issue that I have been having for 4 and a half years.

WHILE IN MOTION OR IDLING VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY JERKS, SHAKES, OR STALLS. RPMS FLUCTUATE, THROTTLE SENSOR WARNING AND MIL ILLUMINATE, DTC OF P0121 AND P2135 ARE STORED. VEHICLE HAS SUDDENLY LOST POWER ON INTERSTATE WHILE IN MOTION AT 70 MPH THROTTLE POSITION WARNING AND MIL ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY, THROTTLE POSITION WARNING AND MIL ILLUMINATED. BOTH INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ARE INTERMITTENT AND WITHOUT WARNING. ALL INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC CREATING AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO LIFE AND LIMB. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE DESPITE NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. VEHICLE HAS 66545 MILES.

I SEEN ON THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP MAKE AND MODEL FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEMS...I JUST HAD TO SPEND A LITTLE OVER $4,000 IN REPAIRS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. WHEN I GOT IT TO MY INSURANCE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT WOULDN'T START. WHEN I TOOK TO GARAGE THEY FOUND THAT BOTH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD DISINTEGRATED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH AMONG OTHER THINGS. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET COMPENSATED? I HAVE HAD IT BACK FROM GARAGE FOR FEW WEEKS AND NOW AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT STARTING.

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.

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. *TR
