NHTSA Complaint #11217128 — 2014 JEEP COMPASS

I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THIS STRANGE LIGHT LIT AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RACING BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I PULLED INTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I TRIED GOING AGAIN BUT WITHIN 500 FT AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FRANTIC I PULLED INTO A SHOPPING MALL AND PULLED OUT THE CAR'S MANUAL. I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY LIGHT. I MADE THE TRIP HOME AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SCANNED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REPLACED THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR IS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS LATITUDE WITH 52,363 MILES. I WAS CHARGED $556.54 TO FIX MY NOT YET 5 YEAR OLD CAR!
