2023 Jeep Compass Engine Problems

While driving on the highway at about 70 mph, your engine light turns on, the car loses power, and the start-stop feature becomes unavailable—forcing you to pull over and restart the car to regain normal operation. After a dealership software update, the problem returned the very next day with the same symptoms, creating a dangerous situation where you could be stranded in traffic.

While driving at 65 mph, your Compass suddenly came to a hard stop that felt like hitting a wall, and a "service transmission" warning appeared on the dashboard. After the stop, your vehicle requires revving the engine to 4,000-5,000 RPM just to get moving again, and the gas pedal feels weak and unresponsive. This transmission issue could require inspection and potential fluid replacement, solenoid repair, or internal transmission service.

While driving at 35 mph and slowing down for a red light, your Compass suddenly lost power and wouldn't accelerate, even though the shifter was still in Drive. The vehicle came to a complete stop in the middle of the road with the brake light staying on. After waiting a bit, the engine started working normally again. The dealer checked it but couldn't find any problem, so no repair was made.

My 23 Jeep Compass engine light came on and it started running rough. Dealer says part of the exhaust valve came off and damaged the piston. Now it needs a new motor. I just purchased it in April 2023. It is now 12/12/23 and I took it to the dealer 11/11/23. This potentially could have happened while I was driving. This is why I believe this is a public safety issue. The engine could have locked up at anytime endangering myself and any passenger. Dealer will not giving a copy of the active work order.
