Jeep Compass low oil pressure warning and stalling issue occurring multiple times on Jeep Compass

Problem overview

Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing recurring low oil pressure warning lights and stalling issues. These problems may stem from various causes, including low oil levels, malfunctioning oil pressure sensors, clogged oil filters, or failing oil pumps, which can all lead to inadequate oil circulation. Additionally, some owners find that even after replacing the oil pump and sensor, the issues persist, potentially indicating underlying problems with these components or their installation. Low oil levels can also hinder proper valve actuation, resulting in the vehicle shutting down unexpectedly. Furthermore, a loose or out-of-sync camshaft synchronizer may impact engine performance and contribute to stalling. Owners of early 2nd Gen Compasses should verify that any necessary recalls or updates addressing oil consumption problems have been performed, as these could also lead to stalling. The presence of diagnostic code P0522 may indicate that the oil pressure sensor is detecting pressure below the normal operating range, often due to a faulty sensor or issues within the oil system. It is crucial for owners experiencing these issues to seek assistance from a Jeep dealer or qualified mechanic for thorough diagnosis and repair.
