NHTSA Complaint #11097967 — 2014 JEEP COMPASS

THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL WOULD NOT ALLOW MY JEEP TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND AS SOON AS THE IT GOT UP TO 2500 RPM IT WOULD NOT SHIFT. I HAD TO LET OFF OF THE GAS AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT STARTED REVING ALL OF THE WAY UP TO 7000 RPM IN ORDER TO SHIFT. THE LIGHTING BOLT SYMBOL CAME ON DURING ALL OF THIS AND STAYED ON. I TRIED THEN TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND IT DID IT ONCE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT STALLED COMPLETELY. THE JEEP WOULD GO AS LONG AS I DIDN'T GO PAST 2500 RPM. AS SOON AS I GOT SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ON THE SAME STREET. I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT AND IT ENDED UP COSTING AROUND 530 USD. NOW I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS BEFORE THE LAST TIME THE UNIT BROKE.
