| Description of the problem | Major issue! This is apparently known by jeep as they have issued a recall. Yet it is happening to additional models outside the scope of the issued recall. 2019 jeep compass 2. 4l. The engine shut off without any warning while driving at approximately 25 mph. The vehicle is brand new with only 200 miles. I purchased the vehicle only 10 days ago. I took the vehicle back and returned it, which was quite the headache to get the dealer to do. I basically traded it in for a jeep grand cherokee so to avoid the 2. 4l engine. I am out quite a bit of money in paying taxes, fees, registration, tile,etc twice due to this issue. In doing some research, this seems to be a fairly common problem in both the jeep compass and the jeep cherokee in regards to the 2. 4l 4 cylinder engine. Jeep has issued a recall on the cherokee. They need to do the same on the compass. Stay away from the 2. 4l 4 cylinder engine at all costs. |
