2017 Jeep Compass Fuel system Problems

“I was getting onto the freeway got up to 60 miles an hour I saw my alternator light blink then my traction control light came on and the motor lost all power and now they're telling me that my throttle body is bad and I see a lot of complaints on the internet about Jeep Compass throttle bodies”

“Nozzle at fuel pump was stuck inside the gas cap and tank. Both fuel station staff & I attempted to remove the nozzle from the gas tank but it would not come out. We had to use a piece of metal to pry out the nozzle. There is a metal notch on the gas nozzle that once inserted becomes lodged on the inner lip of the gas cap and you cannot remove it. This is a serious defect in the gas tank design and could cause safety issue especially if the gas nozzle continues to pump gas and the tank is full.”

“Car has been repeatedly stalling when going into a turn or coming to a stop. Low oil pressure light will flash at times while driving. Stalls and low oil pressure warning flash sometimes occur at the same time, sometimes do not. Car recently stalled while going 35mph on a highway. Requires stopping car, putting into park, and then restarting, which takes 10-15 seconds for starter to get engine to turn over. When at idle in park, throttle does not respond to gas pedal.”

“The throttle body started malfunctioning while driving on the highway. Power was lost and I was unable to accelerate. There were vehicles behind me that had to react quickly in order not to wreck. The ETC warning light did not come on at first but as my vehicle kept sputtering the light would flash on and off very quickly. I lost a great deal of speed trying to get up a hill so I could pull over and get out of traffic. After looking up the light in the manual it says to cycle the ignition and I did that. …”

“I got my 2017 jeep compass in 2018 had no issues truly until about a year ago. The check engine light came on and it would jerk a little goin up hill well got a coder and it said o2 so I changed all the spark plugs and o2 and it still is on now the thunder bolt light flashes I loose power and the yellow skid mark comes on I have to turn car off let it reprogram like 10 min and it acts ok for a few min now it's so bad it won't even go 10 miles . I'm goin to have the throttle and sensor changed hopefully that fixes it.”
