2013 Jeep Compass Engine Problems

Your Compass is burning through oil excessively — consuming about 3 quarts every 2 weeks even after replacing spark plugs and switching to synthetic oil. The oil level dropped dangerously low during a 40-minute drive, causing the oil warning light to come on and ultimately destroying the engine. The engine will need to be completely replaced, which typically involves removing the old engine and installing a new or rebuilt 2.4L engine.

Your engine suddenly revs and a lightning bolt warning light appears on the dashboard, then your car loses power and won't go faster than 5 mph. After pulling over and restarting, it works fine again — but this problem keeps repeating every few months. The dealer has reset your computer multiple times but can't find the underlying cause, leaving you unable to trust the vehicle for reliable driving.

Your check engine light keeps coming on repeatedly, and it's now happening every day. Your mechanic has diagnosed a faulty front catalytic converter that's integrated with the exhaust manifold. The fix will involve replacing the catalytic converter and exhaust manifold assembly.

While driving at 40 mph and pressing the accelerator, your engine failed to accelerate normally and made an unusual noise. Your check engine light came on. An independent mechanic diagnosed that your catalytic converter needs to be replaced. The repair will involve removing and installing a new catalytic converter.

2013 JEEP COMPASS TRANSMISSION FILL TUBE BROKE OFF. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DESIGN DEFECT AS IT IS NOT IN A PLACE WHERE IT COULD BE BUMPED OR BROKEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. DISCOVERED THE ISSUE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND HEARD A NOISE. I HAD NOT HIT A BUMP OR RUN OVER ANYTHING. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOWED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN IN DIFFERENT JEEP MODELS 2011 AND LATER. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX IT DUE TO IT NOT BEING SPECIFIED IN THE WARRANTY. THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO BE IN THE WARRANTY AS IT IS NOT A SERVICEABLE PART AND SHOULD NEVER NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE CONTACTED A COUPLE OF OTHER AUTO SHOPS AND WERE TOLD EACH TIME THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT PART IN THEIR SYSTEMS AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,606.
