2011 JEEP COMPASS Vehicle Speed Control Problems

[XXX] [XXX] , [XXX] [XXX] 2/7/26 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally express my concern regarding ongoing, critical safety issues with my vehicle, which have been increasingly dangerous while driving. These issues appear to be interconnected and involve multiple components, including the valve body, transmission, TCM, ABS module, ECM, and throttle body. These problems have posed significant risks to my safety and the safety of others on the road. On several occasions, while driving at highway speeds (approximately 70 mph), the traction control and ABS warning lights have illuminated, and the vehicle has suddenly lost acceleration. This malfunction seems to cause the car to change gears unexpectedly or, in some instances, stop accelerating altogether. As a result, I have been forced to pull over to the side of the road in order to perform a YouTube-suggested reset just to get my vehicle back in motion. This...

speedometer doesn't work, ABS, Brakes, engine and traction light keeps on. THE SHIFT LEVER CHANGES BY ITSELF FROM D TO M while driving. ABS module has to be replaced at my cost when other 2011 jeep compass have a recall F 50 for the same issue.

WIPERS GO OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AND/OR TURNING SIGNAL LIGHT ON. VEHICLE RANDOMLY GETS ENGINE LIGHT ON COLD DAYS (NEW ENGLAND WINTERS). THE JEEP WILL JOLT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR STALL FOR A MOMENT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN STOPPED (AT A LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE) AND SOME NIGHTS THE JEEP WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATE AND NO "REVVING" SOUND OCCURS AS THOUGH THE CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT IT NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATION SLOWLY INCREASES TO NO MORE THAN 25-30 MPH AND STALLS AT AN INCLINE. NO LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ACCELERATING ISSUES OCCUR. WHEN ACCELERATING ISSUES OCCUR, THEY TEN TO OCCUR INNER CITY RATHER THAN HIGHWAY.

TROUBLE WITH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AND LIGHTS STOP WORKING AT TIMES.

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR. IT HAS 73,000 MILES. DRIVING IN 100 DEGREE TEMPS GOING 75-80 AND TRANSMISSION GREEN LIGHT COMES ON. SOUNDS LIKE IT CAN'T CHANGE GEARS. I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION.

THE CAR WENT INTO LYMPH MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND ON, BUT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE. IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION. EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSES THIS. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT RECALLED OR ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. LIVES COULD BE LOST. PLEASE DEMAND THEY RECALL AND PAY FOR THE PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHILE ON RT 90, MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE I HAD TO GET ACROSS TRAFFIC TO CRAWL OFF HIGHWAY TO GARAGE. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID WEREN'T SURE, PERHAPS TRANSMISSION. AFTER A WHILE WHEN I RESTARTED WAS ABLE TO CRAWL HOME ON LOCAL ROADS. IT SEEMED BETTER UNTIL ANOTHER TIME ON RT 91 I WAS IN DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN AUTO STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I WAS ALMOST HIS BY TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. LUCKILY I CRAWLED BACK HOME AGAIN. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FEW DAYS LATER I WAS GOING TO TAKE TO GARAGE AND IN MIDDLE ROAD IT STOPPED AND WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE AT ALL. IT SAT IN MIDDLE STREET UNTIL I HAD IT TOWED TO REPAIR. THEY COULD HELP AT MY USUAL REPAIR GARAGE AND I HAD TO HAVE TOWED AGAIN TO JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY...

MY CAR IS GOING INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING, GOING DOWN REALLY QUICKLY BASICALLY. WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAR DECIDED TO GO INTO LOW SPEED TWICE NO ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-ENDED COLLISION THANKFULLY DRIVER BEHIND WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND I ONLY RECEIVED ROAD RAGE FROM DRIVER. IT SHOOK MY WIFE UP SO MUCH SHE WAS HOME FOR TWO DAYS WITH XTRA ANXIETY MEDICATION. SINCE THAT INCIDENT CAR COMES AND GOES IN LIMP MODE, SO NOW THE CAR SITS MY WIFE IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. I KNOW RECALL ON OTHER JEEP MODELS, I FEEL THIS TOO SHOULD BE RECALLED.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE FREEWAY ABOUT 70MPH . OUT OF NO WHERE CAR CAN NOT BE ACCELERATED AND LOST ALL POWER. I WAS LUCKY THAT TRAFFIC WAS NOT BAD OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE GOT OTHER AND MYSELF HURT. CALL JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ADVISED ME TO PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL FOR 15-20 MINUTES TO LET THE TRANSMISSION "COOL OFF" AND TO TRY IT AGAIN. TO MY SURPRISED IT WORK. HOWEVER ABOUT AN HOUR LATER SAME THING HAPPEN. I TAKE THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE ADVISE ME TO GET RID OF THE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT JEEP KNOWS WELL THAT THIS CARS ARE TRANSMISSION ARE OVERHEATING AND LOSING ALL POWER BUT THEY REFUSE TO MAKE A RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE. I CAN NOT EXPRESS TO YOU GUYS HOW SCARY IS TO BE DRIVING AND KNOWN THAT AT ANY MINUTES...

WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD THE EIC EMBLEM COMES ON AND THAN I START LOOSING SPEED FROM THE ACCELERATOR. IT STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND THAN IT WON'T GO AFTER THAT. HAVE TO PULL OVER OFF THE ROAD AND TURN CAR OFF.

VEHICLE DASH RED LIGHTNING AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS TURNED ON WITH WARNING CHIME UPON BRAKING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THE FREEWAY OFF RAMP WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE 10. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED WITH ROUGH ENGINE IDLE AND LACK OF POWER FOR ACCELERATING. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CLEAR THESE WARNING LIGHTS AND VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEAREST CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER WITH DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETED AND THE MASS FLOW SENSOR REPLACED. ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE SO THAT THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN COULD READ THE ERROR CODES AND OBSERVE/DOCUMENT THE WARNING LIGHTS LIT IN THE DASH. A THIRD VISIT TO THE SAME SERVICE CENTER RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE MOST RECENT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASED ACCELERATION. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,151.

I LEFT WORK FROM DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH AT 4:15 PM, AND WHILE CROSSING OUTBOUND ON THE VETRANS BRIDGE, MY JEEP TURNED ITSELF OFF. THE STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY TOUGH, AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE JEEP, TURNED IT BACK ON, AND THANKFULLY IT STARTED AGAIN. IF TRAFFIC WAS MOVING FASTER, LIKE IT USUALLY DOES, I WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK. *TR

(AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS), THIS 2011 JEEP COMPASS HAS TRANSMISSION DIFFICULTIES. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO SHIFT FROM GEAR TO GEAR WITHOUT MANUAL ASSISTANCE. IT WILL WHINE AND STRAIN AND JUST NOT CHANGE, EVEN AS THE RPM CLIMB SKY HIGH, IT WILL NOT SHIFT WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THIS FAILURE WAS FIRST DOCUMENTED ON 6/19/11 BUT THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAILURE BEFORE THIS DATE. THE SYSTEM FAILURE HAS RESULTED IN A REDUCTION OF POWER TO SUCH EXTENT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAFELY MERGE INTO A LANE OF TRAFFIC. DURING SUCH EPISODES THE ACCELERATOR COULD BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 OR 25 MILES PER HOUR. THIS VEHICLE (WHICH HAS OTHER PROBLEMS) IS CONSIDERED TO BE UNSAFE. I AM PRESENTLY WAITING FOR A COMPANY "INVESTIGATOR" TO ACCESS THESE PROBLEMS. *KB
