My wife and her aunt were driving at 70-75, then it felt like when a governor kicks on. If that makes sense. At the same time the check engine light came on.

I have been experiencing the same issues with the high temperature warning as mentioned for the 2019-2021 Jeep Compass. If this occurs at higher speeds, I am able to release the accelerator, and coast for 2-3 seconds, which allows the temp to show back to normal, and continue normal driving conditions.

Over the past week, I have had about 10 instances where my new (6 month old - ~5k mile) jeep compass died in the middle of driving. I was unable to accelerate, move, or anything. The only action I could do was to brake.

While driving on highway the engine light came on and the vehicle began to pull back and jerk as if it were trying to slow down. Continued for a few miles to jeep dealer which happened to be on that highway. The technicians explained that the engine light came on so as a safety precaution the vehicle restricts the speed by pulling back when you try to accelerate.

I was on the way home from purchasing a used 2018 jeep compass with 24000 miles and the vehicle died twice within a couple of minutes when we pulled off the I interstate to get some food. It was when we were just coasting into our destination. The compass's parking brake light then came on and a dash message read "vehicle cannot shift while moving" or something to that extent.
