2014 Jeep Compass stability control problems

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

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.

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.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD, AFTER A CURVE IN THE ROAD, MY JEEP"S TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL STARTED FLASHING. MY JEEP THEN WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I COULDN'T DRIVE FASTER THAN 40 MPH. I'M SO GLAD THAT I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD BECAUSE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY JEEP HOME AND IT HAS BEEN FINE SINCE BUT NOW I'M CONSTANTLY WORRIED THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANYTIME.

THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GO ON INTERMITTENDLY FOR THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WILL PAUSE A FEW SECONDS, WARNING LIGHTS WILL GO ON, AND VEHICLE WILL PROCEED FORWARD. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INSTANCE WAS WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, SPEED REDUCED TO 2MPH, WARNING LIGTS FOR ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD WENT ON, AND VEHICLE PROCEEDED FORWARD. I HAD VEHICLE SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS, NOTHING IS INDICATED. THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE WHEEL BEARING 4 TIMES WITH THE HOPE THAT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT. WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO THIS ERROR MODE WITH THE PAUSE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD LIGHTS GO ON AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDS FORWARD. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BACKING UP. I FEAR THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION OF THE ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS..

THE ABS BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS THE SKID WARNING LIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER AS I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 25 MPH DOWN THE STREET, THERE WAS A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TOO. OR POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN THE TRANSMISSION THAT LOCKED UP. I CAN'T BE SURE. BUT IT IS SAFE TO SAY THE ENTIRE CARE LOCKED UP LEAVING ME UNABLE TO STEER OR MANEUVER THE CAR IN ANY MANNER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR BACK HOME. I WAITED A COUPLE OF HOURS AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE ABS AND SKID LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THE CAR IS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS.

MY JEEP IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE ESC TURNS OFF/ON OWN ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON WHEN I USE THE LEFT/RIGHT TURN SIGNALS, TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON, AND SOMETIMES JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER STATED TO MY HUSBAND THAT ITS NOT SAFE FOR THE VEHICLE DO THIS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DISPLAY AN ERROR CODE, AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THESE ISSUES. VEHICLE ALSO MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND THE STEERING FEELS VERY VAGUE AND BOUNCY. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN RANDOMLY DURING BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. MY JEEP IS A 2014 COMPASS, FWD, 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK THIS TIME. THE ESC ISSUE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS WELL AS, THE WIPERS. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MAKES ME WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS, ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC. ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.
