You purchased a 2024 Jeep Compass from a dealership that failed to disclose the vehicle had been involved in a collision. The engine warning light came on immediately after purchase, along with a transmission service message. After the dealership attempted a repair, the warning light returned. You discovered the car had previous accident history, was registered as a rental in another state, and had been sold through an auto auction after the collision. The underlying transmission and engine issues may require professional diagnostic testing and potential component replacement or repair.

Your 2024 Jeep Compass hesitates when you press the accelerator pedal at various speeds, but no warning light appears. After restarting the vehicle, the hesitation may go away temporarily. The dealer kept your car for about a month but couldn't reproduce the problem, and it was never repaired. This issue may require a fuel system, ignition system, or engine control module diagnostic to identify the cause.
