2011 Jeep Compass Electronic stability control Problems

“The etc light comes on and the vehicle won't go when stepping on the gas. The engine cuts off in the middle of driving. Some days it starts some days it doesn't. Replaced the relay switches twice and the etc. Neither seems to help. I drive a highway to work everyday and I pray that if it acts up, I can find a place to pull over”

“Abs, traction control, and 4x4! Came on when I started the car. Drove out of work's driveway stop at sign then accelarate down a steep winding hill and my car was accelerating by iteself..rpms went from 3 to 4 and I was not pressing the gas peddle..I pulled over because the car didnt want to stop..ABS felt like it came on and felt like no brakes..luckily it did stop with pumping and didnt flip over into the huge drain ditch. …”

“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. …”

“My car is going into limp mode while driving, going down really quickly basically. While driving on interstate car decided to go into low speed twice no almost causing a rear-ended collision thankfully driver behind was paying attention and I only received road rage from driver. It shook my wife up so much she was home for two days with xtra anxiety medication. Since that incident car comes and goes in limp mode, so now the car sits my wife is terrified to drive it. I know recall on other Jeep models, I feel this too should be recalled.”

“Dry, hot surface on highway. In construction moving through stop and go as two major routes were merging. Approached area going under a overpass, slight downward and sweeping left curve. Speed was approximately 20 MPH off and on due to heavy traffic flow. Gently depressed brake to slow then went to gently accelerate and car just quit, had no acceleration. Looked at instrument panel and ESC light is on. Be put hazards on, put car in neutral and restarted. Everything went back to normal. Truly terrifying as there would be no way for a tow to even get to me or for me to get out of the car! …”
