NHTSA Complaint #11131825 — 2014 JEEP COMPASS

THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GO ON INTERMITTENDLY FOR THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WILL PAUSE A FEW SECONDS, WARNING LIGHTS WILL GO ON, AND VEHICLE WILL PROCEED FORWARD. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INSTANCE WAS WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, SPEED REDUCED TO 2MPH, WARNING LIGTS FOR ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD WENT ON, AND VEHICLE PROCEEDED FORWARD. I HAD VEHICLE SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS, NOTHING IS INDICATED. THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE WHEEL BEARING 4 TIMES WITH THE HOPE THAT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT. WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO THIS ERROR MODE WITH THE PAUSE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD LIGHTS GO ON AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDS FORWARD. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BACKING UP. I FEAR THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION OF THE ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS..
