SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE REPEATEDLY GOT MY CAR SENT TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR SCREECHING TRANSMISSION & BRAKES. EVERY TIME NO ONE CAN FIND AN ISSUE AND THE NEXT DAY THE NOISES WILL COME BACK AGAIN. RECENTLY ONCE AGAIN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I HAVE CONSTANTLY STATED THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF BUYING THIS CAR, BUT NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING SO EVERYTHING IS GOOD WITH THE CAR APPARENTLY. ITS NOT SAFE DO SOMETHING & I'VE FILLED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND GOTTEN NO RESPONSE. RECENT INCIDENT: THE CAR IS CURRENTLY WAS STATIONARY WHEN I TRIED TURNING ON MY CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PAST INCIDENTS: I WAS IN MOTION ON A 40MPH ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THE REPAIR SHOP TOOK A CRANK PIECE OUT BUT THAT'S NOT MAIN PROBLEM SINCE 2 WEEKS LATER MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO TURN ON.*DT*JB*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR.*JB

WHEELS
I BOUGHT THIS 2014 COMPASS IN DECEMBER 2019 THE TREAD ON THE VEHICLE'S GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRES ( 205/70R/16 LOOKED GOOD BUT FROM THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT I WAS CONSTANTLY PUTTING AIR IN BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I BOUGHT THE COMPASS AS IS FROM THE DEALERSHIP SO OF COURSE THEY WOULD CHECK THEM AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS OR WHATNOT BUT FOR A RIDICULOUS PRICE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I DO HAVE A WARRANTY THAT I BOUGHT BUT COVERS VERY LITTLE, EVEN HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GALLON OF GAS IF I RUN OUT BECAUSE IT ONLY COVERS THE CALL OUT TO BRING ME A GALLON. ANY WHO, I CANNOT AFFORD NEW TIRES OR THE AMOUNT TO HAVE A PLACE TO LOOK AT THEM, SO I WAS VERY ANAL ABOUT CHECKING MY TIRES LIKE A CRACKHEAD LOOKING FOR CHANGE ON THE GROUND. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO SEE THAT MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT SO I AIRED IT UP AT THE HOUSE AND PROCEEDED TO CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH THE OL SOAPY H2O AND FOUND A SMALL LEAK ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE, I CHECKED TO SEE ABOUT REPLACING IT AND AFTER I FINISHED HYPERVENTILATING AT THE PRICE, WHICH BTW WAS MORE THAN MY CAR NOTE, I PUT FIX A FLAT IN IT TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE SO THAT I COULD SAVE UP TO REPLACE 1 SINGLE TIRE INSTEAD OF SELLING MY KIDNEY ON THE DARK WEB. WELP AS SOON AS I GOT THAT DONE THE BACK TIRE DECIDED TO BE A JERK AND KEEP DEFLATING EVERYDAY. GOT THE SOAPY H2O AND FOUND NOTHING JUST LIKES TO GO FLAT. I STARTED LOOKING AT THE TIRES SO THAT I COULD SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE ME TO SELL A KIDNEY IN ORDER TO REPLACE 2 TIRES NOW AND I NOTICED THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE MULTIPLE BUBBLES ON THE OUTSIDE SIDE WALLS. TOOK EACH TIRE OFF CHECKING FOR SEPARATION OF BELTS AND YEP IT'S NOT ROCKET APPLIANCE, ALL 4 TIRES ARE BUBBLING. YET I'M SURE JUST BY SEEING THE MANUFACTURER'S REPLIES( THERE AREN'T ANY) AND THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS GET THE POOP END OF THE STICK THAT I WILL BE SELLING MY KIDS KIDNEY'S TOO JUST TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2014 JEEP COMPASS SPORT 2.0. I PURCHASES IT IN 2016 USED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AMONG HEAVY TRAFFIC AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOP IMMEDIATELY. THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. NOW, THE SHOP IS SAYING I NEED A CVT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAT 6 YEARS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY ON THE INTERSTATE. PLEASE HELP!!! MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT OR HAD AN ACCIDENT FROM IT STOPPING LIKE IT DID.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE. I WAS GOING DOWN A 45MPH ROAD AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION METER NEEDLE RISES AND THEN DROPS TO 0. MY CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. I TRY TO TURN IT ON BUT IT MAKES A SOUND WITH NO START. EVENTUALLY AFTER ABOUT 5MIN IT STARTS UP AGAIN & I HIT THE GAS PEDDLE TO ONLY GET SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY COMES ON. THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME & I RECENTLY GOT IT CHECK BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS FINE BUT I KNOW ITS NOT MY GUT IS SAYING THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL JEEP HAD DOWN ON THIS CAR BACK IN 2014. THERE ARE ARTICLES ALL ABOUT IT AND I TRIED EXPLAINING TO THEM BUT I GUESS CAUSE ITS A LOT OF WORK AND MONEY NO ONE WANTS TO OPEN THE ENGINE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FUELING UP THE JEEP AND DRIVING AWAY, THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO I DOUBT IT IS THE FUEL ITSELF. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED IT DIDN'T DO THE JERKING/STALLING AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND LETTING IT SIT FOR A FEW HOURS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY & ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE JUST STARTED STALLING. I COULDN'T DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN 30MPH. I COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. HOW IS THIS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL? I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLUS THERE WAS A RECALL DONE IN 2013 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE STALL SO WHY ISN'T MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 11/15/2019, PRIOR TO THAT WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE ON THERE WAS A BAD FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. SUDDENLY TODAY THE ENGINE WAS VERY QUIET TO THE POINT OF NOT KNOWING IT WAS ON. AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON CHRYSLER CARS AND I WOULD LIKE MY CAR TO BE FIXED DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR IN PRODUCING A EFFICIENT VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND EMISSIONS.
