THIS JEEP COMPASS WAS PURCHASED FOR OUR COLLEGE AGE DAUGHTER IN MARCH 2019, TODAY WHILE DRIVING, HER REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN FELT LIKE IT 'DROPPED' AND UPON GETTING STOPPED, SHE DIDN'T WRECK THANK GOD, AS SHE WAS PULLING INTO OUR DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT HER REAR CROSSMEMBER HAD RUSTED INTO. I SEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD AT ONE TIME BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PART DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST FROM THE SALT BELT STATES. WE ARE IN KY BUT WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT WAS TITLED IN MICHIGAN, WHICH IS MOST DEFINITELY IN THAT SALT BELT. I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETED BY THE FORMER OWNER BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO BE IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE HAD NO INFORMATION ABOUT ANY RECALL THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ISSUED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. WHILE SERVICING HIS WIFE'S VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED LOTS OF RUST AND HOLES ON THE SUBFRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL, THE JEEP WILL BEGIN TO STUTTER AND THE ENGINE WILL DIE. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY BUT OTHER TIMES IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES AND WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AFTER THE INTIAL STUTTERING AND DYING, THE CAR RUNS FINE AFTER RESTARTING BUT THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY FUEL FILL-UP.
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4WD. THE REAR SUBFRAME ON THE DRIVERSIDE IS ROTTEN OUT AND MAKING THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL BEND. I HAVE A 4 YEAR THAT GOES IN MY CAR, AND I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE. JEEP WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RUST ROT, AND CHOOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING
CAR STALLS A FEW TIMES AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. THEN IT RUNS FINE. HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER YOU LEAVE GAS STATION, IN MOTION OR AT IDLE .
WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE SUSPENSION OR STRUTS. YOU CAN HEAR THEM ALSO WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BOLTS ARE GONNA COME OUT. IT ALSO HAVE SOME KIND OF CREAKY NOISE SOMETIMES AS WELL

LEAKS WATER THROUGH DOME LIGHT WHILE DRIVING. WATER POOLS IN THE DOME LIGHT AND AFTER HEAVY RAINS I FIND 2 INCH PUDDLES OF WATER ON MY PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. THIS IS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD AS IT'S COMING THROUGH AN ELECTRIC PORT DRIPPING ON MY RADIO BUT ALSO JUST A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND SURPRISED WITH WATER POURING OUT OF THE LIGHT. HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY GETTING WORSE FOR YEARS NOW, STARTED WITH THE OCCASIONAL DRIP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. WHILE ACCELERATING UP TO 60 MPH, THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE DETECTED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.
PROBLEMS AFTER FUELING: AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE UP, WITHOUT FAIL, THE ENGINE STALLS, SHUTS OFF, VIOLENTLY JERKS AND/OR DECREASES SPEED AND THEN RETURNS TO REGULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHANGED THE GAS CAP, GAS STATIONS AND OCTANE LEVELS, AS WELL AS THE AMOUNT OF GAS CONSUMED, ALL WITHOUT ANY RESOLVE. ALTHOUGH I NEVER TIP OFF THE GAS TANK, I WILL FILL THE GAS TANK AND I EXPERIENCE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR WITHOUT FAIL. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I SIT AT THE GAS PUMP OR DRIVE AWAY IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE WILL ENTER A DISTRESSING ROUTINE OF JOLTING, AND TURNING OFF. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AT TIMES, THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHILE CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTIONS, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS LEAVING THE PUMP. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION IT WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS OCCURS WHETHER I'M STILL AT THE PUMP PREPARING TO DRIVE OFF, STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHILE WAITING TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE JERKING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I'M GOING 5MPH OR 60MPH. IT ALWAYS OCCURS WITHING 3 MILES OF FILLING UP THE VEHICLE. TIME IS NOT THE REMEDY BUT RATHER DISTANCE AS THE VEHICLE MY EXPERIENCE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS ISSUE STARTED 3 YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TODAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS GROWING PROBLEM AMONG JEEP VEHICLES TO AVOID FUTURE MAJOR ACCIDENTS OR FATALITIES. CONCERNED JEEP COMPASS OWNER.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER USED AND THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS POOR. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND EVEN A DODGE DEALER WHO DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. I FOUND A NEW GARAGE THAT WAS VERY HONEST AND THEY FOUND THAT THE VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK THAT CONTROLS WHERE THE FUEL GETS TRANSFERRED TO WAS FAULTY. THIS CAUSED GAS TO BE SENT TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND VAPORS TO BE SENT TO THE ENGINE CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL WITHIN A 1/8 A 1/2 OF A MILE AFTER FILLING THE TANK. THE CAR WOULD BASICALLY SHUT DOWN AND STALL OUT CAUSING CONTROL ISSUES. THIS ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CONVERTERS AND ALSO THE COAL FILTER ON THE GAS TANK. IT HAS TAKEN MANY DEALERS TO FIND ONE THAT COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND AFTER ABOUT $3000 IN REPAIRS IT IS FINALLY BEING FIXED. THIS FAULT IN THE VALVE COULD CAUSE A FIRE WITH HEAT IN THE CONVERTER AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF INFORMATION ONLINE WITH OTHER DODGE COMPASS CUSTOMERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT, IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. THE OTHER OPTION IS TO NEVER FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERTED HIM TO CHECK THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT PLACED AIR IN THE TIRE. WHILE DRIVING FROM THE FUEL STATION AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CROSS MEMBER FRACTURED INTO THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NEAR A REPAIR FACILITY AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER HAD EXTENSIVE RUST TO THE POINT THAT IT FRACTURED INTO THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A SECOND FACILITY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN MANUFACTURER EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN NUMBER: X69 (FRONT AND REAR CROSS MEMBER CORROSION) AND TSB NUMBER: 23012-14. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL SUDDENLY TILTED INWARD SO WHEN WAS RUBBING WHEEL WELL. GOT VEHICLE HOME LESS THAN 1 MILE AWAY AND SAW CROSS MEMBER RUSTED COMPLETELY ALLOWING UPPER CONTROL ARM TO MOVE.
THE FRONT SUB-FRAME (DRIVERS SIDE) OF MY DAUGHTERS CAR BROKE. THANKFULLY SHE WAS JUST PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT LEAVING A COLLEGE CAMPUS WHEN IT BROKE AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR MOVING FAST. THE PIECE JUST SNAPPED. I SEE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME OF THE 2007 COMPASS WHERE THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VIN NUMBER FOR SOME REASON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.
PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T WORK AND THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOOD IT WOBBLES AROUND TURNS AND I'M AFRAID THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL ONE DAY. THIS UNSTABLE CONDITION WILL HAPPEN ON THE CITY HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING. I PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I CAN DRIVE IF I FORGOT I PUT IT ON WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND I'LL HEAR THE BEEPING GO OFF AND PUT MY PARKING BRAKE ON. I FEEL AS IF ONE DAY TO SCHOOL MY VEHICLE WILL ROCK UNSTABLE AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK EVEN THOUGH I AM VERY CAREFUL.

THERE'S A FUEL ISSUE, AS YOU TOP OFF THE GAS DRIVE IT A HALF A MILE THE CAR JERKS AND SHUTS OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, AFTER A FEW TIMES OF IT HAPPENING AFTER FUELING THE CAR UP. ITS DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE. LOOKED IT UP AND A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH MY MODEL HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND IT HAS TO DUE WITH FUEL GETTING IN THE EVAP CHAMBER WHICH REQUIRES A FULL TANK REPLACEMENT REPORTED FROM MULTIPLE OWNERS OF MY MODEL. WHICH IS AN EMISSIONS AND SAFETY ISSUE. ITS IN MOTION LESS THAN A MILE AFTER FUELING COMPLETELY WHEN IT JERKS THEN STALLS.

I BOUGHT THE JEEP COMPASS AROUND JULY OR AUG. NO SOONER THEN I BOUGHT IT IT WOULD JERK WHEN I WOULD TAKE OFF. THEN MY RPMS WOULD REV UP. LILE ITS NOT SHIFTING THE RIFHT WAY. ALSO MY JEEP HAS A HARD TIME GOING UP HILL. I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY JEEP IS SAFE AND IT SCARES ME. ALSO MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY.

HAD A LOT OF BANGING NOISES OVER BUMPS. AFTER AN INSPECTION UNDER CAR, FOUND FRONT & REAR SUB FRAMES ROTTED OUT. ALSO REAR WHEEL BEARINGS BAD, BROKEN ABS TONE RINGS. REAR SUSPENSION LINKS SEIZED TO REAR SUB FRAME. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE FRONT STRUTS & SWAY BAR BUSHINGS. (VERY POOR FOR A 10 YEAR OLD CAR)

THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION LAST WEEK DUE TO X58 FRONT/REAR CROSSMEMBER BEING COMPLETELY RUSTED AND IN DANGEROUS CONDITION. APPARENTLY THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM NOR THE WARRANTY AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS NOT DRIVABLE.

FUEL TANK--JEEP DEALER SAYS MY ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE TANK ONLY ALLOWS A TINY AMOUNT OF FUEL TO GO IN WHEN PUMPING GAS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME BEING A JEEP OWNER AND IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO REPLACE SUCH A MAJOR PART.
ENGINE STALLS AFTER REFILLING GAS TO "FULL" TANK. IT HAPPENS AFTER TANK REFILL ONLY. IT HAPPENS WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF THE GAS STATION. TODAY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. I SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR COMPASSES AND PATRIOTS. I DON'T THINK THERE IS A DEPENDENCY ON SPEED. IT IS MORE LIKELY THE TIME AFTER REFILLING AND STARTING ENGINE.
BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BAD BALL JOINT ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. I WAS TOLD MY SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT IN THAT SPOT. IT'S SO BAD THAT THE MECHANIC ISN'T SURE HE CAN ACTUALLY FIX IT. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS SO COMMON THAT CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR EVERYONE, BUT DIDN'T OFFER A RECALL. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY ONLY OFFERED THIS FOR A SET TIME OF 120 MONTHS. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE NOTIFIED PEOPLE OF THIS SO THEY COULD HAVE IT REPAIRED. INSTEAD, THOSE OF US WHO HAPPEN TO HAVE AN INCIDENT AFTER THE TIME FRAME ARE NOW OUT OF LUCK AND OUT OF A LOT OF MONEY TO (HOPEFULLY) REPAIR THE PROBLEM. DISAPPOINTING TO SAY THE VERY LEAST.
I RECENTLY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP BECAUSE OF LOUD CLUNKING NOISES. THEY STATED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION IS TOTALLY ROTTED OUT AND THE CLUNKING WAS BASICALLY THINGS SHIFTING AROUND UNDERNEATH. HE TOLD ME IT WAS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SAID IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. HE ALSO STATED THE FRONT IS ROTTED AS WELL.
RE:FRONT FRAME CROSSMEMBER. THESE PARTS WERE INSPECTED AS OK IN 2014 BY DEALER PER THE CHRYSLER WARRANTY EXTENSION LETTER ABOUT FRAME ROT. IN JULY 2018 ROT AND DETERIORATION DISCOVERED BY OWNER THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRATION IN JULY 2017. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PERIOD WAS TOO SHORT AND CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE HAD THE VEHICLES RE-INSPECTED FOR DETERIORATION THROUGHOUT THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I AM WANTING A FAIR RESOLUTION TO A NOW DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY VEHICLE.
CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK.
RUSTED OUR SUBFRAME AND SPRING
TODAY WHILE LEAVING A DRIVE THRU MY CAR STALLED AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE 20 SECONDS AFTER LEAVING THE DRIVE THRU WINDOW AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THAT MY CAR HAD JUST DIED. I PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED UP WITH NO ISSUES AND I DROVE HOME WITH NO ISSUES (ABOUT 20 MILES FROM MY HOME). THIS HOWEVER IS NOT THE FIRST TIE BUT THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THEN A MONTH OF OWNING IT. THE FIRST TWO TIMES HAPPENED AFTER I FILLED MY CAR UP COMPLETELY WITH FUEL. TODAY MY CAR WAS BETWEEN ONE QUARTER AND HALF TANK. I HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON EITHER. THE CAR SEEMS TO ACTUALLY DIE WHENEVER I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP.
I EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOWOUT ON I-70 WHILE TRAVELING AT 60MPH. FORTUNATELY, NO CARS WERE AROUND AT THE TIME OR IT COULD HAVE KILLED ME OR CAUSED SERIOUS HARM TO MY CAR OR ANOTHER. I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH TIRE ISSUES FOR SOME TIME, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY. I HAVE HAD A PREVIOUS BLOWOUT AS A RESULT OF THE INSIDE EDGES OF THE TIRES WEARING OUT TOO QUICKLY. AFTER HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO A TIRE SHOP DURING THIS INCIDENT, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND CAUSING THE TIRES TO WEAR ON THE INSIDE EDGES. THEY STATED THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED BEFORE AN ALIGNMENT CAN EVEN BE MADE. THEY RECOMMENDED I GET IT REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SINCE IT IS UNSAFE. . THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH JEEP ON RECALLS. I HAVE CALLED JEEP THREE TIMES NOW. THEY STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF AN ISSUE AND THEY HAD EXTENDED A WARRANTY ON IT BUT I WAS OUT OF THAT WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED LAST YEAR. THEY ORIGINALLY SAID THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THEY WOULD FIX IT OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I WOULD NEED TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AND FOLLOW UP WITH THEM. I CALLED THEM BACK AFTER THE LOCAL SHOP REFUSED TO HELP ME. THEY STATED THAT I HAD TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE. I TOLD THEM I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THIS SINCE I DIDN'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AND DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS NOT CLOSE TO ME. THEY THEN INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY NOT GOING TO HELP ME AT ALL BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED BY THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD NEAR MISSED FROM BLOWOUTS TWICE NOW, WHICH I NOW KNOW WERE A RESULT OF THIS. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND BUYERS DJOUKD BE MADE AWARE BEFORE PURCHASE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH ALL EXPENSES COVERED. I AM REALLY UPSET THAT IT IS NOT.
"TAKATA RECALL" EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS I AM SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN. I HAVE HAD THE WHOLE CONTROL ARM AND TIE RODS REPLACED IN MY JEEP JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO DUE TO VERY LOUD SQUEEKING IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES THE SOUND WHEN DRIVING SLOW OR FAST, ANY TINY MOVEMENT SUCH AS GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE NOT RUNNING MAKES THE LOUDEST SQUEAKING SOUND! ITS LIKE NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD! I ALREADY HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN DUE TO THE SAME SOUND THE FIX LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS! THERE IS SOMETHING MAJORLY WRONG WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL!

CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING. PROBLEM BEGINS A FEW MINUTES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. I HAVE TO SIT AT THE GAS STATION AND TRY KEEPING IT RUNNING BEFORE LEAVING, IT IS NOT SAFE IN TRAFFIC. IT ONLY DOES IT AFTER REFUELING. I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY TELL ME GAS IS GOING BACK INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER MESSING WITH THE COMPUTER. A BAD VALVE IN THE GAS TANK, REQUIRING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FINDING A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IT IS NOT JUST A JEEP COMPASS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE TRACTION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.
WHEN YOU FEEL THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OUT AND STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AFTER READING ON SEVERAL WEB SITES THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT THIS IS A MAJORITY INCIDENT. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU FILL THE TANK FULL IT WILL STOP WITH NO WARNING AND MESA FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS BEFORE IT'LL RESTART AGAIN. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET KILLED.
MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT END OF HIS JEEP COMPASS PULLED LEFT AND WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND GRINDING VERY LOUD. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS POINTING OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER. I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE AND THE MAIN CROSS MEMBER RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THIS PARTS DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES. HOWEVER, THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT IN JULY 2016. IF THEY KNOW THAT THERE ARE ISSUES AND ALREADY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS; WHY DON'T THEY MAKE IT RIGHT ON ALL THE VEHICLES.
AFTER FUELING VEHICLE TO FULL TANK, AFTER LESS THAN A MILE TRAVELED, WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND STALLS OUT. WILL USUALLY RESTART AFTER VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. HAPPENS AFTER 90-95% OF FUEL FILLUPS. HAS BEEN HAPPINING FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, HAVE NOTICED IN INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE
