2022 Jeep Compass Cruise Control Problems

Your cruise control may have malfunctioned while driving downhill, causing your vehicle to continue accelerating even when you applied the brakes. You heard abnormal sputtering and a high-pitched sound from the engine, and despite your brake pedal feeling firm, the vehicle kept speeding up until you manually turned off the cruise control. The issue occurred at 65,000 miles with no warning lights to alert you. A mechanic will need to diagnose the cruise control system and engine management to determine what caused the unintended acceleration.

While stopped at a traffic light, I went to accelerate when the light turned green. The vehicle turns off to save gas when it is at a standstill and will power up when the brake is released. Today at the light I went to release from the brake and it would not move. Instead it started I had to turn on again. Which it took several times before it would start. Cars were behind me and one almost hit me due to the light being green and I was just sitting there.
