Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing jerking issues in the rear end, which may be related to transmission or fuel system problems. Common transmission-related concerns include jerking and shuddering during acceleration, loss of acceleration, grinding noises, and slipping. Signs of transmission trouble can also manifest as slamming into gear, power loss indicated by the Hot Oil Light, and jolting during acceleration. Additionally, fuel-related issues, such as a faulty fuel pump assembly, clogged injectors, or a dirty fuel filter, can contribute to these jerking sensations. To address these concerns, owners are advised to check the transmission fluid level and condition, conduct diagnostic testing if the problem persists, and perform necessary maintenance or repairs to the transmission and fuel system. Prompt attention to these issues can help ensure a smoother driving experience.
