2023 Jeep Compass Limited - “Service Electronic Throttle Control” + Lost Power While Driving
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 2023 Jeep Compass Limited with around 30,700 miles from a dealership.
Today, while driving at about 35-40 MPH, I suddenly got a “Service Electronic Throttle Control” message on the dashboard. At the same time, the vehicle lost power and wouldn’t accelerate properly. I had to safely pull over, switch the engine off, and restart it. After restarting, the warning disappeared and the Jeep drove normally again.
A few details:
● 2023 Jeep Compass Limited
● ~30,700 miles
● No Check Engine Light
● “Service Electronic Throttle Control” message appeared
● Vehicle went into reduced power/limp mode
● Restarting the engine temporarily fixed it
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
● What was the root cause?
● Was it the throttle body, accelerator pedal sensor, software update, wiring, or something else?
● Did the problem come back after restarting?
● Was it covered under warranty?
I’m planning to take it back to the dealer, but I’d like to hear from other Compass owners about what the actual fix was.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
