2012 Jeep Compass Other Problems

Your 2012 Jeep Compass experiences sudden loss of power during acceleration, particularly when starting from a stop at intersections. When this happens, the traction control light may come on, power steering feels stiff, and the engine stalls; restarting the car temporarily fixes the issue. You've replaced the crankshaft position sensor twice and have active diagnostic codes for a catalytic converter and crankshaft sensor, but the problem has returned and is occurring more frequently, making the vehicle unsafe to drive. The fix may require diagnostic testing to identify whether the issue is related to the catalytic converter, fuel system, ignition system, or engine control module rather than just the crankshaft sensor alone.

Your car caught fire while parked and sitting stationary in a parking lot. This is a serious electrical or fuel system issue that requires immediate professional inspection to prevent further fire risk.

Your ignition coils have needed replacement multiple times, and recently your car started shaking and lost power while driving on a major road, requiring a tow. Your mechanic mentioned that Jeeps commonly have coil issues. Your check engine light has been turning on and off, and there may be an open safety recall related to your intake manifold that you'd like to verify and get documentation for.

-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.

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!!!????

THE CADILLAC CONVERTER WENT BAD

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.

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.

THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE BROKE OFF. WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE PART ON THE FLOOR AT MY HOME. DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MAY HAVE BROKEN.

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.

OUR JEEP'S TAIL PIPE, PRIMARILY DUE TO ITS EXCESSIVELY SHORT LENGTH, BECAME TUCKED, BY REGULAR VEHICLE USE, UNDER THE JEEP'S BUMPER AND FORCED HOT EXHAUST FUMES TO MELT THROUGH THE BUMPER. WE OBSERVED SIGNS OF CHARRING AND MELTING OF THE JEEP'S EXTERIOR BUMPER BODY CAUSED BY THIS TOO SHORT EXHAUST PIPE DESIGN DEFECT RESULTING IN AN OBVIOUS FIRE DANGER.
