2016 Jeep Compass Engine Problems

Your engine shut down unexpectedly while you were driving on the expressway, creating a dangerous situation. After having the car towed to a dealer, you were told the engine has an internal failure that requires disassembly to diagnose, with an estimated cost of $900 just for the inspection. The fix will likely involve engine repair or replacement once the specific failure is identified.

Your engine may stall unexpectedly because the crankshaft or camshaft sensor isn't working properly, which increases the risk of a crash. This was a known issue affecting certain 2016 Jeep Compass vehicles manufactured between May and July 2016, and Chrysler issued a recall to replace the faulty sensor for free. If your vehicle's VIN falls within the affected range, contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number S89) to schedule the replacement at no cost.

Your engine suddenly seized while your daughter was driving with no warning lights beforehand. After the first repair at Midas for a faulty cam shaft sensor, the same problem happened again about a year later. This time the repair shop said the cam shaft sensor connector, crankshaft, and wiring harness also needed replacement, but most parts were on back order. The repair process involves replacing the cam shaft sensor and related engine components to restore normal engine operation.

Your Jeep stalls unexpectedly while you're driving on the highway, then restarts after the engine cools down. This pattern suggests the crankshaft position sensor may be failing. The issue will likely require replacing the crankshaft position sensor and possibly having the engine control computer scanned for fault codes.

Your engine stalled while driving at 45 mph, and stalled again when you tried to restart it. After waiting a few minutes, the engine started normally, but your check engine light came on. A dealer diagnosed the problem as a faulty crankshaft sensor that needs replacement. A recall was issued for this issue, but your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in the recall coverage, so the repair wasn't completed under warranty.

Your 2016 Jeep Compass is experiencing power loss while driving and hard cranking during cold starts that sometimes prevent the engine from starting. A diagnostic shop identified a faulty catalytic converter and sensor as the cause and found two NHTSA recalls listed for your vehicle (16V907000 and emissions recall u67), but Jeep dealership says no recalls apply to your vehicle and refuses to repair it. The fix would likely involve replacing the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor, and investigating whether the recalls were previously completed.

Your engine is stalling while you're driving without any warning lights appearing on your dashboard. After it stalls, you're able to restart it, but the problem keeps happening and has gotten worse over time. The dealer checked your vehicle twice but couldn't find the cause and didn't make any repairs. The issue may require diagnostic testing to identify the underlying engine problem causing the stalls.

Your car jolted and jerked while driving at 40 MPH, causing you to stop driving it. No warning lights appeared on your dashboard. A mechanic found that your crankshaft sensor had failed. The repair would likely involve replacing the crankshaft sensor to restore smooth engine operation.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2016 Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured May 9, 2016, to July 15, 2016.

My car cuts off while driving, I took it to the dealership December 5th, 2024 and they said there’s a recall for the catalytic converter which makes my engine stall! In November 2024 while I was driving, it cut off while I was turning and traffic was heading my way! My wheel started to locked so I had to pressed on my brakes to control the wheel. I made an appointment to the dealership where I financed the car, but they told me they don’t have the part because it is back ordered, but by law since my car is a safety hazard for me and others. I should’ve received a loaner or a new car!

Vehicle will stall and die while driving for no reason. It happens everyday at least once a day. No check engine light, no warning. It's extremely dangerous to just stop moving in the middle of an intersection. Or on the highway. When I turn the key to try and start it again it gets stuck cranking even when letting go of the key. I have to turn it off to stop the cranking. I've had a mechanic look at it multiple times and they don't know what the fix would be or what is wrong.

My engine is shutting down, sometimes in the middle of me driving. My car will shut done and I will stop in the middle of merging into traffic. Or waiting at a light my car will shut down. I almost got rear ended today because my car randomly shut down. No warning lights are on. I have looked up information and this exact problem is happening with other 2016 keep compasses. The dealer I contacted just told me that there were no codes that could be read so he couldn’t tell me what was wrong. I also took my car to advance for them to check everything and the gentleman there also told me no codes were reading. This has been happening for about a month.

The private mechanic replaced the three electrical terminals that connect to the crank/camshaft sensors which unofficially completed the Chrysler s89 recall fix. Vehicle ran problem free for two weeks with about 300 miles driven before engine stalled again this time with check engine light illuminated as well as an emissions light. Vehicle was towed to a licensed dealership. Licensed dealership found codes C2101 and P2173. Dealership replaced throttle body and a sensor. Between a local repair shop, a private mechanic, a licensed dealership and multiple tow companies I spent over 3,000 dollars (assuming the throttle body failure is a result of the Chrysler s89 recall).

When I’m at a stop and I go to push the gas the vehicle stalls out, or Whalen I slow down and then push the gas to merge onto interstates/highways it completely stalls out and has potentially killed me more than once.

Engine will stall with no warning in the middle of driving it. Has happened multiple times already in the last few days.

While driving during the work day on a busy street my Jeep Compass stalled out putting myself and others at risk of an accident. No lights or warning signs were visible on the dashboard making this a sudden and scary event. After being it to the dealership they assessed the issue as the crankshaft power sensor, after doing more research I see that this has been an issue as well as a previous recall on other 2016 Jeep Compass’ and feel that now mine should be added to the list as the safety of myself and others were put at risk as a result.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP COMPASS AND IT RANDOMLY JUST TURNS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. MY CAR HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED IT HAD A CODE FOR A CRANK SENSOR AND I WAS TOLD IT REQUIRED AN UPDATE. THE UPDATE DID NOT CHANGE A THING. MY CAR WAS STILL TURNING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS LAST TIME IT TURNED OFF AT A RED LIGHT AND WHILE IN DRIVE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONCE I STOPPED THE CAR, PUT ON MY FLASHERS, AND HAD IT IN PARK MY JEEP COMPASS WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I THEN HAD TO FLAG DOWN A POLICE OFFICER TO HELP WITH THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME. MY CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED AND I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE JEEP DEALER WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO CODES AND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, WHICH CLEARLY THERE MUST BE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE FOR MYSELF OR OTHERS WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PEOPLE ON THIS SITE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. 2016 JEEP COMPASS HAD A RECALL FOR THE CRANK SENSOR BUT MY CAR DID NOT FALL UNDER THIS RECALL BUT CLEARLY IT SHOULD HAVE. THIS IS MY 3RD TIME AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHO HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING.

MY CAR CONTINUALLY SHUT DOWNS WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE PA TURNPIKE CRUISE CONTROL SET. NO WARNING NO SOUND, THE CAR DOES NOT OVER HEAT. THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, AT APPROX 3:15 AM IN THE MORNING AND LEFT A MESSAGE. I DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF 2 DAYS LATER (I BELIEVE) AND BY THAT TIME IT WAS JUMPING AS WELL WHEN INCREASING SPEED OR COMING AROUND CORNERS. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WENT OUT WITH THE SERVICE MGR AND REPLICATED THE ISSUE. CAR DID NOT STALL AT THAT TIME AND I WAS TOLD WITH NO CODES, OR NOT BEING ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. SPARK PLUGS REPLACED $300 LATER NO JUMPING BUT CAR IS STILL STALLING!!!!!!! THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. MY CAR IS CONTINUING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN THE EARLY AM 3AM ON THE PA TURNPIKE. I COULD BE KILLED BY TRACTOR TRAILER. AGAIN THIS AM, I HAD CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 65 MPH - CAR STALLED NO WARNING!. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY CAR - NOTHING!! WOULD TURN BUT NOT START, WAITED APPROX 1 MINUTE AND TRIED AGAIN, SAME THING WOULD NOT START. WAITED ANOTHER MINUTE,TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED AND NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I DROVE TO WORK AT 55 MPH WITH FLASHERS ON - TOTALLY UNSAFE ON THE PA TURNPIKE. I CALLED MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE FOR THE SERVICE MGR AROUND 3AM THAT THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. HE ADVISED TAKE TO AN AUTO ZONE TO HAVE THE CODE CHECKED SINCE THEY DO FOR FREE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR-I DRIVE ALMOST 2 HRS TO GO TO WORK I AM SO SCARED OF THIS CAR AND AFRAID I AM GOING TO GET KILLED ON THE TURNPIKE BECAUSE OF THIS. WILL GO TO AUTOZONE CALL JOE,AND ATTEMPT TO GET HOME TO DEALER

CRANK SHAFT SENSOR , CAR STALLS, FIRST STARTED IN JULY 2018...CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THREW BACK CODE FOR CRANK SHAFT SENSOR

MY JEEP COMPASS 2016 HAD BEEN TO THE MECHANIC IN 2 DIFFERENT GARAGES. FOR 60 DAYS I'VE EXPERIENCED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO ENGINE LIGHT. NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THIS SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 4 WAY INTERSECTION, IT WOULD SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY. STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF AT STOP LIGHTS. I WAS AFRAID OF DRIVING MY CAR BUT I HAD TO GET TO WORK WHICH WAS 30 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. 2 MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE ON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING SHOWED NO CODES, THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY RESEARCH AND AGREED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED ON 2016 COMPASS JEEP BUT MY VIN WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL (WHY) AFTER THIS SENSOR WAS REPLACED THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY, NO MORE STALLED ENGINE AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BELEIVE THAT JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS AND THEY HAVE FIXED OTHERS. I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP OR CHRYSLER. MOST SCARY CAR PROBLEM I EVER ENCOUNTERED. I AM A 55 YEAR OLD DRIVER, HAVING DRIVEN OVER A MILLION MILES IN MY LIFE TIME. TO HAVE A CAR SHUT OFF ITS ENGINE IN MID FLIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS. HOPE THIS WILL HELP OTHERS UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IF THEY OWN A JEEP.

RECALL ON 2016 JEEP COMPASS FROM MAY 9TH- JULY 15 THE CRANKSHAFT , CAMSHAFT SENSOR MAY ONLY WORK INTERMITTINGLY CAUSING ENGINE TO STALL. AT 67,000 MILES MY CAR WHICH ALWAYS RAN VERY WELL STALLED, "ENGINE SHUT OFF IN MID FLIGHT" I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL, SLOWED TO STOP AND TURN RIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE DIED, COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I PUT JEEP IN PARK. TIRED TO RESTART WHICH IT DID NOT RESTART AND I WAITED AN HOUR FOR THE TRIPLE AAA. WE BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AS THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS SHOWED NOTHING , HE STARTED IT AND CLAIMED HE DROVE DOWN THE RODE AND BACK AND IT WAS FINE. I PICKED UP MY JEEP AND DROVE IT HOME BUT WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. I CALLED MECHANIC NUMBER 2 WHO TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND TOLD ME HIS DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT SHOWED NO CODE, HE DROVE IT AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM HE REPAIRED THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACE IT AND CLEANED IAC VALVE AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSORS. TOLD ME IT WAS FINE SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT NOT MORE THAN 15 MILES AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT SLOWING DOWN THEN ACCELERATING IT STALLED IN MID FLIGHT CAR ENGINE DIED. I PUT FLASHERS ON AND PUT CAR IN PARK, THEN 2 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED AND I DROVE HOME. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS JEEP IT COULD EASILY BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AS IT IS UNPREDICTABLE WHEN IT WILL STOP, ENGINE DIES. I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO MECHANIC NUMBER 2 FOR A SECOND EVALUATION. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IF NO PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $117 FOR THE HOUR THEY WOULD PUT THE MECHANIC ON IT TO CHECK IT.

2016 JEEP COMPASS RECALL - THE POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF AND RESTART. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A WHILE AND AFTER A COUPLE OF ENGINE STARTS, THE LIGHTS GO OFF. WHEN IT LOSES POWER, PUSHING ON THE GAS, THE CAR DOESN'T GET ANY POWER TO MOVE FORWARD. IT'S ONLY COASTING ALONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM GOING.

ENGINE STALLS/STUTTERS RANDOMLY

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT NORMAL SPEED 60 MPH.ON NEW JERSEY PARKWAY SUNDAY AUG. 20 TH 8:45 PM ( NEAR EXIT ISELIN ) WHEN WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE STARTED TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE TO 25 MPH. PUT ON HAZARD FLASHERS SO THAT I COULD WARN OTHER DRIVERS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN DISTRESS. DASHBOARD SHOWED ENGINE LIGHT WARNING . DROVE ADDITIONAL 2 MILES AND GOT VEHICLE TO NEAREST GAS STATION AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE, CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND FILLED A REPORT. VEHICLE WAS GOING TO BE TOWED BUT IT RESUMED TO RUN AFTER 30 MIN. NORMALLY. VERY BIZARRE!!!!!

CAR IS NOT ON RECALL LIST BUT IS ACTING THE SAME AS THE RECALL 2016 JEEP COMPASS CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR. KEY NOT WORKING SOMETIMES AND CAR WILL NOT GO PAST 20 . IN SHOP MORE THAN WE HAVE HAD IT.

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND LETTING IT RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES, WE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, WE NOTICED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH THREE EXTINGUISHERS BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO DO SO. ANOTHER EMPLOYEE CALLED 911 AND THE LOCAL FIRE DPT. PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. CHRYSLER LATER SENT US AN E-MAIL STATING THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THAT THE FIRE WAS A RESULT OF A "MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR". WE BELIEVE THE DAMAGE IS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, CHRYSLER REFUSES TO COVER THE LOSS.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS HAS STALLED OUT TWICE WITHIN APPROXIMATELY A 7-WEEK PERIOD. ONCE IN A PARKING LOT (2/8/2017) AND TODAY (3/29/2017) A STALL-OUT OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. TODAY, I WAS STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN. TRAFFIC WAS BACKED-UP, SO WHEN IT BEGAN TO MOVE, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE TURN, AND THE JEEP STALLED. I PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL, AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED. HOWEVER, THIS WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. BETWEEN THE STALL-OUTS, THE VEHICLE WILL "JERK" PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HAVING TO ACCELERATE. THESE HARD "JERKS" HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND ARE OCCURRING ON A DAILY BASIS. BOTH ISSUES APPEAR TO OCCUR WHEN SPEED IS LOWER AND/OR HAVE TO DECELERATE OR ACCELERATE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, IF THE VEHICLE HAS SAT OVERNIGHT OR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. NO LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD DURING THESE "JERKS" OR STALL-OUTS. TODAY WILL MAKE THE 4TH TIME WITHIN THE SEVEN-WEEK PERIOD I WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN ONE YEAR. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 11,500 MILES ON IT.
