Compass

  • 190,000 miles
2009 Jeep Compass manual transmission engine stalling intermittently at highway speed and also at idling. Has happened several times, but usually starts back up after a short period of time. Also, vehicle will intermittently not start, all lights on dash light up, battery is good, nothing wrong with starter. Sometimes it will start within minutes, other times it starts after a day or two... random. Break pedal usually very stiff. Have has it towed to the dealership to only have it start and they could not diagnose the issue.

Compass

  • 40,000 miles
Vehicle stationary-engine light stays on every time I put gas in vehicle due to small leak in emission system at gas fill neck and gas cap. Appears to be due to formation of brown substance on metal gas neck. New gas cap helps for about 3 or 4 fill-ups before it becomes contaminated with the brown substance.
