I have the same problem on a 2009 Jeep Compass. I suspect a wheel speed sensor and when the weather gets better I'll check it out. I know if I take it in for service it will cost me a fortune for a simple problem. It's amazing the things they can find.
A couple years ago I took my Compass to Sears for service. I think it was for brake pads, shocks and a few small items. When I finally got the car back the bill was for $2500. What a shock.
Both codes are related to the camshaft position sensor. I would suggest getting it replaced. When the sensor goes bad it may cause misfiring and timing issues.
Hi, I'm not very familiar with these vehicles, however changing the oil shouldn't make a negative difference to the economy. Is it possible on your vehicle that 'Sequential sport shift' or the 'Mode select transmission' buttons could have been tampered with? Certainly any transmission or performance enhancements would have a negative impact on the MPG immediately.
I can't think of any other reasons at the moment.....
Since it is used, there are many possible answers to this one. The tires may not be fully pressured, you may need to change the air filter, new oil, as well as it may need a complete tune-up. New spark plugs, wires, fluids, etc. I would start with the cheap things first like filters, fluids and tires. Then check on the plugs. Also, the average of 25 is from the manufacturer and most of the times it's usually highway speeds.
Brake rotors are only changed/replaced when they are severly warped and can't be machined true again without making them to thin, the min. thickness is cast on the rotor edge, there is no regualar replacement mileage like changing the oil
It depends on the speed you were going, if you were going less than about 20 miles, (older models it was 17, but I am not sure ofr the compass), also it depends of the angle of impact. Once it is beyond a fairly direct hit, an air bag can do more damage than not haveing it deploy.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU DRIVE AND HOW WELL YOU MAINTAIN THE CAR. BUT 12 MPG IN TOWN AND 17 MPG ON OPEN ROAD WOULD BE AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY, THIS IS A VERY HEAVY TRUCK, OVER 2 TONS.
It sounds like the truck might be 'hunting' for it's gear - try shifting the transmission down one notch, and see if this stops the jerking... at least it will give you a better indication of the problem.
