2011 Jeep COMPASS Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1580991
Internal NHTSA #	11230966
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	COMPASS
Model Year	2011
File date	10/07/19
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Engine light, traction light and flashing lightning bolt light came on while driving and vehicle wouldn't exceed 30 mph. Occurrence first happened when turning out of a driveway. I constantly have to shut down/restart vehicle in the middle of traffic, at times, to get back to being able to accelerate normally, otherwise, if able, i will pull over to the side of the road and place the car in park to see if there are any changes. Lights will randomly come on and drastically alter ability to operate vehicle. Other occurrences appeared whilst waiting idle in line at a drive thru, driving down city streets--stop sign to stop sign, driving over road imperfections like bumps or potholes, even safety speed humps. From my own research online, i believe i have an idea to what the cause of this issue is. Due to the flashing lightning bolt signal, it seems that the electronic throttle body has failed.
