NHTSA Complaint #11153641 — 2016 JEEP COMPASS

MY JEEP COMPASS 2016 HAD BEEN TO THE MECHANIC IN 2 DIFFERENT GARAGES. FOR 60 DAYS I'VE EXPERIENCED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO ENGINE LIGHT. NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THIS SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY CAR WOULD LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 4 WAY INTERSECTION, IT WOULD SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY. STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF AT STOP LIGHTS. I WAS AFRAID OF DRIVING MY CAR BUT I HAD TO GET TO WORK WHICH WAS 30 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. 2 MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE ON DIAGNOSTIC TESTING SHOWED NO CODES, THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY A MECHANIC LOOKED AT MY RESEARCH AND AGREED TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED ON 2016 COMPASS JEEP BUT MY VIN WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL (WHY) AFTER THIS SENSOR WAS REPLACED THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY, NO MORE STALLED ENGINE AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BELEIVE THAT JEEP CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS AND THEY HAVE FIXED OTHERS. I WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP OR CHRYSLER. MOST SCARY CAR PROBLEM I EVER ENCOUNTERED. I AM A 55 YEAR OLD DRIVER, HAVING DRIVEN OVER A MILLION MILES IN MY LIFE TIME. TO HAVE A CAR SHUT OFF ITS ENGINE IN MID FLIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS. HOPE THIS WILL HELP OTHERS UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IF THEY OWN A JEEP.
