Problem overview

Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing stalling issues while driving on the interstate, which can be attributed to several potential causes. Many owners identify fuel problems, such as clogged fuel filters or faulty fuel pumps, as common culprits for unexpected stalls. Additionally, electrical problems, including wiring harness issues or a faulty starter motor, are frequently cited as contributing factors, highlighting the importance of regular battery maintenance. Some owners also find that inspecting sensors, particularly oxygen sensors that measure air-fuel ratios, is crucial, as faulty sensors can negatively impact engine performance and lead to stalling. When experiencing a stall, many owners recommend pulling over to inspect under the hood for visible issues and suggest seeking assistance from a mechanic if the problem persists. Addressing these concerns through proper maintenance can help mitigate stalling incidents in the Jeep Compass.
