2013 Jeep Compass Other Problems

Your electronic throttle control and stability control warning lights turn on, causing your Jeep to enter "limp" mode where it won't accelerate faster than 10 mph. This creates a serious safety hazard, especially when pulling into traffic or merging on highways where you can't reach safe speeds. The problem started around 50,000 miles and has progressively worsened, with your CVT transmission also overheating and triggering limp mode. Fixing this will likely require diagnosing the throttle control and transmission systems, possibly including sensor replacement or transmission service.

Your Jeep Compass has a defective driver-side door handle where the metal wrapping is peeling apart and becoming sharp, which has caused an injury. The passenger-side handle is showing signs of the same problem. Your dealer has confirmed this isn't normal wear. This is a safety hazard that needs to be repaired.

Your car's headrest is deploying on its own when there hasn't been any crash or impact. This is a safety concern since the headrest should only activate during an actual collision to protect your neck and head. The headrest mechanism may need to be inspected and repaired or replaced to prevent unexpected deployment.
