• Recall 2008371 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, a broken solder joint on the printed circuit board of the power control module (pcm) can affect the fuel pump relay performance and potentially result in an engine stall while driving and/or a no start of the engine. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the pcm.

Seems to be an issue for a lot of people throughout chrysler vehicles. I was driving when the engine cut down to 30 mph and indicator lights came on, engine light, traction control and "red lightning bolt" (etc electronic throttlebody control). What is happening is your computer has detected something wrong and has gone into limp mode which is allowing the vehicle only enough power to get off the road (limp off the road). It appears dealers and mechanics don't know or aren't telling. Don't tell them i have the solution, they are in business to make money off of you, don't give them a hand up. They may want to replace your throttle body which they charge over $1,000 for and it doesn't fix the issue. The problem is calibration between your accelerator (gas peddle) position sensor, computer and etc (throttle) sensor. It will cost you $0 and 10 seconds to solve. Get in, turn the key to "accessory" position just before turning the engine on. Let all the instrument lights on the dash reset. Engine, "red lightning bolt" and (if ebrake is engaged) brake lights should be on. Now push the accelerator peddle to the floor and count to ten. The "red bolt" light should now turn off and you have just reteached or calibrated your position sensor. Turn the key back off and then turn on your vehicle and enjoy the ride.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep compass. The contact was informed by ferrario auto team of sayre (102 spring st, sayre, pa 18840, (570) 888-2367) that the vehicle's front cross member bar was corroded and needed to be replaced. The contact was also informed that there was an extended warranty for the part; however, the warranty was expired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

2009 jeep compass manual transmission engine stalling intermittently at highway speed and also at idling. Has happened several times, but usually starts back up after a short period of time. Also, vehicle will intermittently not start, all lights on dash light up, battery is good, nothing wrong with starter. Sometimes it will start within minutes, other times it starts after a day or two... Random. Break pedal usually very stiff. Have has it towed to the dealership to only have it start and they could not diagnose the issue.

The airbag light has maintained itself on approximately three months, and every 10-15 minutes it sends me an alarm, warning me that something is wrong, and that the airbag is not functioning accordingly.This happens every time the vehicle is being in use and in march.

The front subframe is completely rusted out. Had to have vehicle towed home because the front wheels look like a bow-legged cowboy because the subframe basically snapped as we were driving. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue and jeep refuses to recall this. 2007 had the same issue and they extended a "warranty" to get this fixed. 2009 is made, obviously with the same junk metal, and yet they refuse to fix their incompetence. Wonder how many people have died due to this negligence. Not happy jeep.

Takata recall...Airbag light is on and theres nothing/ nobody in passenger seat.
