Consumer Description

I ONLY HAVE 25,000 MILES ON MY 2015 JEEP COMPASS AND AM NOW BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I NEED MY THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AND THE CONNECTORS TO BE REWIRED. IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND HERE. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? CAR WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE, AND MY THROTTLE SENSOR AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON. DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $1000 FOR REPAIR, AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I LIVE IN A HIGHLY POPULATED AREA, AND IT IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR CAR WON'T ACCELERATE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I AM FORCED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT UNTIL THE CAR WILL GO AGAIN. DEFINITELY COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH OR INCIDENT.
