SUSPENSION
TOOK VEHICLE FOR YEARLY INSPECTION WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, NEW. THEY WERE AT THAT TIME A CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER. IT DIDN'T PASS THE INSPECTION DUE TO THE POOR CONDITION OF THE BALL JOINTS - MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS ONLY 14,258. IT WAS SUGGESTED I CONTACT CHRYSLER TO NOTIFY THEM. THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL QUALIFIED DEALERSHIP. IT WAS TAKEN FOR THEM TO CHECK THE BALL JOINTS. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF NOT DRIVING THE CAR DUE TO ITS DANGEROUS CONDITION, THE BALL JOINTS AND BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $214.00. THE TREATMENT I RECEIVED AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK THEM TO DECIDE TO DO THE JOB AT THE "QUALIFIED DEALER" WAS INEXCUSABLE. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD OF TAKEN CARE OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR, SINCE IT WAS NOT DUE TO ANYTHING I DID BUT THE QUALITY OF THE PARTS INSTALLED ORIGINALLY. THIS COMPLAINT WOULD OF BEEN SUBMITTED EARLIER BUT I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE NHTSA. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS ACCELERATING (AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN), THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO RESTART AND THAT'S WHEN A LIGHTNING BOLT ICON WAS DISPLAYED. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND FOUND OUT THAT THE LIGHTNING BOLT ICON MEANS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, I TRIED TO START THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED, HOWEVER I DECIDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER DUE TO GRAVE CONCERN ABOUT THE ISSUE RECURRING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. ABOUT 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ABOVE INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS NOT MOVING. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE RPM GAUGE WAS AT ITS MAX, HOWEVER THE CAR WAS BARELY MOVING (IT WAS MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 5 MPH). THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO STALL, BUT IT CREPT ALONG AT A SLOW PACE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I TURNED OFF THE CAR. LATER, WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE ISSUE DID NOT REOCCUR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED FROM A WELL KNOW DODGE DEALERSHIP IN CT. ASIDE FROM THE TERRIBLE AND FAULTY FIRESTONE TIRES, THE COMPASS HAS BEEN RELIABLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES WHEN NEEDED. JUST LAST WEEK THE RADIO AND ELECTRONICS NEEDED TO BE RESET, BUT THE VEHICLE STARTED JUST FINE. THE NEXT MORNING IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. THE ENGINE CRANKED OVER AND OVER BUT WOULD NOT START. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START, THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN NC, WHERE WE MOVED TO. THEY LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE FOR $86.00 AND WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE US WITH A LOANER CAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE JEEP ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT SO WE WERE SHOCKED. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US ALMOST $750.00 TO REPLACE IT! I HAD THE JEEP TOWED TO A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GARAGE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE MECHANIC PULLED THE FUEL PUMP OUT AND TOLD ME THE SWITCH ON THE PUMP WAS MELTED! I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IS NOT SAFE, (HAVING AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM INSIDE THE FUEL TANK). HE ALSO TOLD ME THE PUMP WAS ON NATIONAL BACK-ORDER. I HAVE RESEARCHED MANY JEEP FORUMS AND IT SEEMS I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T BELIEVE CONSUMERS SHOULD DISH OUT $22,000 FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND THEN BE SOL WHEN IT COMES TO REPLACING FAULTY PARTS LIKE THIS FUEL PUMP, JUST BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I AM PUSHING TO SEE THIS PROBLEM TURN INTO A RECALL, BECAUSE I WOULD HATE TO BE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND HAVE THE FUEL PUMP SHORT OUT AGAIN CAUSING US TOO CRASH. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, I JUST GOT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE GARAGE 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW IT'S NOT STARTING AGAIN. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND BUYING THIS YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
LAST SUMMER, I HAD TO HAVE MY FRONT OUTER TIE ROD ENDS REPLACED AT 65,000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I HAD NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I STARTED GETTING VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL UPON BRAKING AND I ALSO WAS TOLD I HAD UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER; THEY ALLIGNED IT. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT THE STEERING VIBRATION MAY BE CAUSED BY BAD BALL JOINTS. THE STEERING PROBLEM DIDN'T ENTIRELY GO AWAY AFTER THE ALLIGNMENT; IT STEADILY GOT WORSE. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO AN INDPEPENDENT MECHANIC YESTERDAY AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED NEW BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARMS IN THE FRONT. I ALSO NEED ONE NEW ROTOR AND THE OTHER ROTOR TURNED. (THIS IS AFTER I HAD NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO AND THE ROTORS WERE FINE AT THAT TIME). I WAS QUOTED $663.56 FOR THIS WORK THAT INCLUDED ANOTHER ALLIGNMENT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 50,000 MILE TIRES ONCE AT $600.00 AND TWO MORE TIMES ON THE FRONT AT ABOUT $350.00 EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 107,000 MILES ON IT TODAY. MY COMPLAINTS ARE 1). I DRIVE WITH A TWO YEAR OLD IN THE CAR FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A BLATANT SAFETY RISK THAT JEEP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL. AND 2)., THE MONEY THAT I'VE HAD TO SPEND ON THIS CAR-REPLACING FRONT BRAKE PADS, NEW ROTORS, BALL JOINTS, CONTROL ARMS, TIE ROD ENDS AND TIRES IS RIDICULOUS. I DON'T HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEY DIDN'T IDENITIFY THE BALL JOINT PROBLEM WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE. I MAY NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AND I WILL CERTAINLY TELL ANYONE THAT ASKS THE EXPERIENCE THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE STOPPED WORKING. AFTER TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON. IT WOULD ONLY MOVE IN 1ST GEAR AND IN REVERSE. IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME LESS THEN 6 MONTHS LATER. THE CAR SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE ENTIRE CAR JERKED AND MADE A POPPING SOUND. AND WOULD AGAIN ONLY WORK IN 1ST AND REVERSE. THE 3RD I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. AS I GOT ON THE OFF RAMP THE CAR BEEPED LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS AND THEN ABOUT A SECOND LATER THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND OIL TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR FELT LIKE SOME ONE HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BRIEFLY. THIS CAUSED ME TO PULL SLIGHTLY TO THE SIDE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON THE OFF RAMP AND NOT THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC AT 70MPH WHERE I FEAR IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER DRIVER OR BY MYSELF AS IT CAUSE ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE, NO WAY OF TELLING WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED. BUT I'M FEARFUL. CHRYSLER HAS TRIED TO FIX THIS 2 TIMES. THIS WILL BE THEIR 3RD ATTEMPT. *TR

AIR BAGS
BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT WHILE THE BRAKE WAS ENGAGED AT A STOPLIGHT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEFLATE AND WERE CUT DOWN BY THE PARAMEDICS SO THAT I COULD EXIT THE CAR. INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED, BRUISING, SWELLING, BLACK EYE AND BURNS FROM THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATORS WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF DEPLOYMENT. CURRENTLY WAITING FOR JEEP TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. WAITING FOR A SETTLEMENT FOR MY JEEP, MEDICAL, AND RENTAL BILLS SO I CAN PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

THE BEARINGS MELTED INTO THE HUB ASSEMBLY AND IT WORE OUT THE BRAKES AND RUIN ALL FOUR TIRES, NOW THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE GOING OUT. I HAVE ONLY 43000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT AT 36000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. ALIGNMENT WILL NOT STAY BECAUSE OF THE TIRES AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BUT THE HUB, BEARINGS ARE NOT ABLE TO GEASED. SO THESE PARTS WEAR OUT SOONER THAN NORMAL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 25 MPH WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD CHILD IN THE VEHICLE, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON (FLASHING) AND SO DID THE SLIDE PROTECTION LIGHT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 20MPH AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE RAN VERY ROUGH LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. LUCKILY I PUTTERED HOME AND MY CHILD WAS SAFE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND AFTER ALMOST 5 DAYS OF TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PCM NEEDED REPLACED. THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE "VERY CONFIDENT" THAT THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WELL TODAY, THEY PCM WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP STILL CANNOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2007 JEEP COMPASS. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, I WAS SO SCARED AS I ALSMOT GOT INTO A WRECK WHEN MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. MY 6 MONTH OLD CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN HURT, OR WORSE. EVEN IF THIS CAR GET FIXED, I WILL BE SO APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE IN IT WITH MY CHILD FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL GIVE OUT AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS A REPAIR THAT I, OR OTHER JEEP COMPASS OWNERS, SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AS 1. IT IS ALL TOO COMMON AND 2. THE PCM/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOT A COMPONENT THAT WEARS OUT WITH MILEAGE OR USAGE. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING ON BEHALF OF CHRYSLER/JEEP. WHILE I WAIT TO SEE IF THE CAR CAN BE REPAIRED, MY REPAIR BILL JUST KEEPS GROWING. I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT IS WHY I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT ANYTIME WITH ANY HELP, SUPPORT, OR QUESTIONS AS I WILL BE AWAITING YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU. *TT

SUSPENSION, STEERING
I BOUGHT MY COMPASS NEW IN JUNE, 2008. I COMPLAINED ABOUT A CRACKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT END THE 2ND DAY I HAD THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER & THEY REPLACED THE R/F AXLE. IT STILL MADE THE SAME CRACKING NOISE. I TOOK IT BACK & THE DEALER SAID THE BOLTS ON THE CONTROL ARM WEREN'T TIGHTENED PROPERLY. STILL THE SAME NOISE, SO I WENT ON LINE LOOKING FOR ANY TSBS. I READ ABOUT FRONT END PROBLEMS WITH 2007 DODGE CALIBERS & 2007 JEEP COMPASSES & PATRIOTS PARTICULARLY WITH THE BALL JOINTS.TURNS OUT THAT UNDERSIZED BOLTS WERE INSTALLED IN THE CONTROL ARMS. BY NOW I FELT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE & WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER & THE SERVICE TECH SAID LET'S TAKE A TEST DRIVE, I REFUSED & TOLD HIM TO DRIVE IT HIMSELF, AS I WASN'T GOING TO GET BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL UNTIL THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEM (REMINDING THEM OF THE LEMON LAW, AS THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME I WAS THERE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM). WHILE THE DEALER INSISTED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ONE OF THE CARS LISTED IN THE TSB, THEY DID REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM BOLTS WITH NEW ONES & REPLACED THE STABILIZER LINKS. IN FEB. OF 2009 MY DAD PURCHASED A 2008 COMPASS & IT HAD THE SAME NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & THEY REPLACED THE CONTROL ARM BOLTS. SINCE THEN THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS OR NOISES, ALTHOUGH MY JEEP ONLY HAS 17K MILES. DO YOUR HOMEWORK & CHECK OUT TSBS. YOU JUST MIGHT SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEM. *TR
