NHTSA Complaint #11098664 — 2014 JEEP COMPASS

APRIL 15, 2018 VEHICLE ONLY HAS 58K MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. PULLED OUT ONTO HIGHWAY IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 20MPH. ONCOMING CAR NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ME. LIGHTNING BOLT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ALL FLASHED ON DRIVERS PANEL. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSIS CODES ARE THAT I NEED A NEW THROTTLE BODY CONVERTER. VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 60K MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, DEALER SAYS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THROTTLE BODY. :/ VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT I'VE DISCOVERED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. :/ LOOKS LIKE JEEP MADE A FAULTY PART THAT CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE LOSES POWER AT THE WRONG TIME.
