CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP, THEY INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE OF THE ALARM, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CODE HAD TO DO WITH THE EVAPORATOR SYSTEM, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHICH I THINK MONITORS RETURN VAPORS AND HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH EMISSION CONTROLS. THEY DISCOVERED, AFTER TRACING THE CAUSE OF THE AIR LEAKAGE, THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, WHICH IS PLASTIC, WAS BURNT AND DISTENDED DUE TO AN OVERHEATING FUEL PUMP. THIS APPARATUS IS AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND CAN BE ACCESSED THROUGH A "TRAP DOOR" BENEATH THE SECOND SEATS. VAPOR WAS BEING EMITTED AT THAT POINT. THERE WAS NEVER ANY WARNING OR SOUNDS TO INDICATE THE FUEL PUMP WAS OVERHEATING. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL MODULE ARE BEING REPLACED AND THE TECHNICIANS THINK THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY I WAS LUCKY THAT NO VAPORS IGNITED BECAUSE THE GAS TANK PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP. BY GOING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE DISCOVERED OTHER JEEP COMPASS OWNERS HAVE ALSO HAD THIS CONDITION HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA ON 10/2/2013 & 11/6/2013 AND THE PANEL LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 75 MPH AND I HEARD A WINDING NOISE, I LOST POWER, AND MY RPM'S WENT TO 4/5. I HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T GET MY SPEED OVER 20-30 MPH. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 68 DEGREES SO THE HEAT OUTSIDE DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A POINT WHEN IT WOULDN'T EVEN ACCELERATE. MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 137,000 ON IT. I DO SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO A BUSY ROAD MY TRANSMISSION SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. THE ENGINE WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS THEREFORE IDLING INTO TRAFFIC, BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING WHEN I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO IDLE INTO A PARKING LOT, WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE TRANSMISSION WORKED AGAIN. EARLIER THE SAME DAY, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVING, BUT SOMEHOW RE-ENGAGED ITSELF AND BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE TIME SO IT DIDN'T STRIKE ME AS THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL LATER THAT DAY WHEN IT REPEATED. TERRIFYING. *TR
