NHTSA Complaint #11176449 — 2015 JEEP COMPASS

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTOL LIGHT CAME ON AND I EXPERIENCED THROTTLE CONTROL FAILURE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 45MPH, AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, WITH A VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND MY CHILD IN THE CAR. THE CAR SEEMED TO STALL OUT AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND GO. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT!!!!! THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS ON.
