April 15, 2018 vehicle only has 58K miles on it and is still under powertrain warranty. Pulled out onto highway in busy traffic and vehicle shuddered and lost power. I was unable to accelerate over 20mph. Oncoming car narrowly missed hitting me. Lightning bolt, check engine light, and ABS warning lights all flashed on drivers panel. Brought car to dealer to be inspected and diagnosis codes are that I need a new throttle body converter. Vehicle doesn't even have 60K miles on it and the engine is still under warranty, however, dealer says warranty does not cover throttle body. :/ very dangerous problem that I've discovered a lot of other people are having problems with. :/ looks like Jeep made a faulty part that can result in a serious accident if someone loses power at the wrong time.

While getting off of pm shift, around 2330, I was driving and all of a sudden my car began to slow down only 3 miles into driving. I could not accelerate more than 15 miles an hour in a 40mph zone. The lightning bolt for electronic throttle control was flashing, then stopped, then my check engine and my anti skid(?) was lit up. I pulled over to a side street, put in park only to have my engine idle at 2K RPM. Thank goodness I had my phone and a friend with some car knowledge. Told me to leave in park and restart my car. Turned on and once I shifted out of park it happened again. He stayed on the phone with me for the rest of my drive home that took me 45min because of not being able to accelerate any faster than 15. A drive that usually would take me 15 minutes took much longer. Glad my kids weren't in the car because I almost got hit 2X by 18 wheelers coming off of the highway. Not to mention it was only 27 degrees out (without the Chicago wind chill)and would have had to wait probably 30+ minutes for a tow or ride to pick me up had it not restarted. Beyond livid that there are numerous complaints about the same thing and nothing being done. Going to have to pay out of pocket for this fix, right before christmas, awesome!

3rd times a charm 2014 Jeep Compass the first time it happened to me in July or Aug (4 months after I got the car) and I thought it was my fault, while parking and hitting the brake my car accelerated out of nowhere. I thought I had hit the accelerator by mistake. Thank god there was a cement thing on the floor 2nd time: My sister and I around the holidays, we were in my Jeep Compass, also parking at the local mall this is where I knew it wasn't me but again there was a cement barricade and prevent anything bad from happening, so I thought it was a fluke now today again this happened while parking and stepping on the break out of nowhere my car accelerated this time nothing on the floor and ran into a post. Bam!! my cars hood is all messed-up and so is the bumper!! has anyone else had this issue with the accelerator? idk what to do!!!!

Squeaky brakes and acceleration problems. When I have a need for speed, the car down shifts and then accelerates is the best description I can give.
