I was slowing to make a left turn and the engine began to sound like it was accelerating. A lightning bolt light, skid warning light and check engine light all came on. I needed to get it home, but the car wouldn-??t go above 25mph. Googling says that it has a stuck throttle body. Have not attempted to fix yet.

The first time the situation occurred we were out of town. Warning lights appeared. The car had sluggish acceleration, noisy, rough ride, hesitating, jerking type movements. We thought it was going to stop. The message appeared "Do not drive the vehicle." My husband took the Jeep to the dealer and they were supposed to have fixed it. He was told it was the throttle. We drove the Jeep and the problem stopped for a while. It occurred again on May 25, 2023 and we had to turn around and go back home and park the vehicle and we have not been able to drive it. I found the following information; 2014 Jeep Compass Among Chrysler Vehicles Recalled for Stall Risk. We have never received a letter about a recall. Warning lights came across the board.

Multiple issues with throttle body resulting in a loss of power and control of vehicle. Back in 2017, I had an issue with the car jerking, cutting out, and losing power. Took car to a Jeep dealership and throttle body had to be replaced. Again during the summer of 2020, vehicle started losing ability to consistently accelerate. Car began jerking, cutting out, and losing power on the roads and highway. The vehicle throttle light, stability traction control, and engine light illuminated. Dealership confirmed throttle needs to be replaced again. Reported to Jeep corporate office with no resolution. Severe safety issue. Jeep doesn't care and is claiming no responsibility until a recall has to be issued.

While driving on a busy street, the engine lost power and throttle control, traction control, and check engine lights came on, my vehicle then loses ability to accelerate. A couple of weeks pass by with my car being fine and then it happens again except this time my car wont start back at all. Took it to a mechanic where I paid for towing. Vehicle was limp and wanted to stall. Now have to pay for new spark plugs and throttle body replacement. Mechanic said this is a common safety hazard issue with Jeep and this throttle body needs to be on recall already.

Throttle control system, had a previous recall

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

I was driving my car and it was not getting any speed with the pedal floored. The car started making loud noises from engine and the etc light came on, check engine light came on which is the mil light, also the ESC light, I was driving and almost got hit because of it driving fine speed limit and then down to less than 5 mph on a very busy street and intersection. There is a major issue as I had it in the shop a month ago for another malfunction. I was driving 55 mph and suddenly it just lost all compression to less than 5 mph. I was able to finally pull over to an area that had no shoulder so I was half in the road and turned the car off. Read the manual and said to cycle the engine several times to see if better. Ir wasn't better, and now trying to go into reverse, pedal to the ground it creeps 1 to 2 mph.

The connection from the gas to the throttle appears to be failing. The car will stay on while driving but will no longer accelerate or will randomly accelerate. After it happens, the throttle light and check engine light will come on.

While driving on the interstate at 70 miles per hour my Jeep Compass loss power. The engine light, etc light ESC light all came on as I was driving. This in turn immediately dropped my speed down to 20 miles per hour.

- Ruston, LA, USA

While driving, the engine loses power and throttle control, traction control, and check engine lights came on. Vehicle goes into "limp" mode and won't accelerate above 10-15 mph. This seems to be a recurring problem with this vehicle, but there isn't a recall. This is a major safety hazard.

- Vinemont, AL, USA

2014 Jeep Compass sport lost power while driving on the highway this vehicle went from going 65-70 miles per hour to barely being able to get up to speed of 30mph that is with pressing accelerator all the way to the floor. Once exiting off of the highway the vehicle continued to lose power when pressing accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. The vehicle will start, but barley has any power to drive. This is very life threatening and dangerous! this problem has been noted and should have been recalled way before now. I have seen reviews about this happening to other Jeep Compass owners. Please fix asap! before lives are taken..

Vehicle has issues accelerating sputters and jerks between 25 and 45 miles per hour. Had a mechanic check this issue and says it has something to do with a defective or damaged transmission. Vehicle has less than 100,000 miles and was just recently purchased from a dealer and had a good rating. Vehicle had this problem since purchase and has begun to get worse. This issue only happens when shifting from 2 nd to 3 rd.

Car does not want to go over 20 can push on the gas and will not go faster

- Ingram, TX, USA

Driving when I lost power, even pushing on the gas... the car slowed to under 20mph. A few lights came up on dash (check engine, traction control, lightning bolt) engine stuttered and cars were swerving to go around me because I had no power no matter how much I pushed on the gas. This is the second time this happened to me, I was on the highway.

Upon driving on a busy highway, my car came to a sudden stop causing traffic to shutter around me and my now 60mph car jerked to a 20mph speed. This was unsafe and now the car will not move above 20mph. Thousands of people are mentioning this online and someone needs to take note!
