Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing unexpected engine shutdowns, which can pose serious safety concerns on the road. These issues may stem from malfunctions in the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump. Additionally, problems with the idle air control valve or fuel system can lead to engine stalling when coming to a stop. Battery or alternator issues have also been reported as potential causes of engine stalling. Furthermore, some owners find that a failing fuel pump or lack of fuel can contribute to the engine struggling to maintain power before shutting off. Given the difficulty some owners have had in diagnosing these problems at the dealership, seeking a second opinion from another mechanic or a specialized Jeep repair shop is advisable to ensure prompt resolution.
