NHTSA Complaint #11477510 — 2020 JEEP COMPASS

We were going about 30 no more than 40mph and the coolant gauge on the dashboard shot up to the H and went back down so quickly while this was happening the Jeep started jerking like it was gonna stop. Then it started driving normal again that was on a Friday July29,2022 I was on my way to work on a Wednesday August 3,2022 and I was going to work I had just exited the freeway go about 60-70mph I had to come to a smooth stop at a light when the light turned green the coolant gauge shot up again to the H and when I tired to press the gas pedal the vehicle was hesitant to move so I took my foot off the gas and press down again the Jeep jerked then I was able to move again. When it does shoot up to over heating it does it really fast you’re unable to catch a picture. When we open the sunroof I smell this kinda burnt smell almost like someone is burning plastic or something.
