ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STALLS AFTER FILL UP. WE DO NOT TOP OFF OR OVERFILL THE TANK. EVERYTIME WE FILL THE TANK UP TO THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. GENERALLY, THE ENGINE WILL STALL IF IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER FILLUP. THE ENGINE DOES NOT STALL IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ABOVE 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL. AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN A FEW MILES, THE STALLING ISSUE DISAPPEARS ENTIRELY.

SUSPENSION
MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE LEFT FRONT CROSS MEMBER THAT HAD RUSTED AND WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED FAILED AND FELL ON TO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE.LUCKILY SHE WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO SAFE STOP. IF SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE KILLED HER AS WELL AS OTHERS.I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM A AUTO SALES COMPANY. AFTER THE FAIL I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A EXTENDED (10) WARRANTY (IE X58) THAT WARNED OF THIS PROBLEM AND A FIX PROVIDED BY COMPANY. I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD HAS BEEN REPAIR BEFORE BEING SOLD TO ANYONE OR AT LEAST INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER REP THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA AND THEY HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR WAS IN UNITED STATES SO THE INFORMATION NEVER FOLLOWED THE CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR MAKE WAS IN SEPT OF 2006 EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007 ON TITLE AND THE WARRANTY GOES BY MAKE DAY SO MY CAR IS 6 MONTHS OUT OF A WARRANTY THAT I DID NOT KNOW EXISTED BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA. THE INFORMATION THAT THIS VEHICLE FRONT OR REAR SUSPENSION COULD FAIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE UTTER MOST CONCERN FOR SAFE BY THE CHRYSLER COMPANY OF CANADA AND NOT A I HOPE YOU GOT OUR LETTER THAT YOUR CAR MY KILL YOU OR YOU FAMILY AT ANYTIME FROM RUST FAILURE IN AROUND 10 YEARS OR SO AND WE KNOW IT !!! AS OF TODAY CHRYSLER HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ON WEATHER OR NOT THEY INTEND TO FIX THIS VEHICLE BUT THE FACT REMAIN THERE ARE MORE 2007 JEEP COMPASS OUT THERE THAT NEED TO BE WARNED THAT THE CANADA VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE COULD FAIL ANYTIME I`M SURE I`M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO PURCHASED A COMPASS FROM CANADA PLANT THAT IS NOW IN THE USA THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WHY I FEEL THERE SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEM FOR REPAIR IN STEAD OF HOPE YOU GOT OR LETTER. LOOK AT PICTURE!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RIGHT AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS THE ENGINE WILL STALL. TYPICALLY, IF I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE FROM THE GAS STATION WHERE I FILLED UP THE ENGINE WILL JUST DIE ON ME. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN AND I DON'T EXPERIENCE ANY TROUBLE AFTER BURNING A LITTLE FUEL. I AM NOT GETTING ANY LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD AND THERE AREN'T ANY ENGINE CODES BEING THROWN. ALSO FOR THE RECORD I AM NOT OVERFILLING MY GAS TANK, AT LEAST THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP SEEMS TO STOP WHEN IT SHOULD. IF I FILL THE TANK 1-2 GALLONS LESS THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. WHEN THE CAR DIES I LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF ALL ELECTRONICS AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES ON CITY STREETS, PULLING INTO A HIGHWAY FROM LEAVING A GAS STATION, STATIONARY, AND IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FILL UP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2016. IN JUNE 2016, MY HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF ON IT'S OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS OF THE CAR BEING IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP, DUE TO THE LIGHT WORKING ON IT'S OWN AND THEM NOT HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE I WAS HAVING, THEY FINALLY SEE WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TIPM FAILED, AND REPLACED IT. FEB 2017, MY WIPERS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN, OR JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL. THEY WOULD GO ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, AND AT TIMES THE SWITCH WOULD NOT EVEN TURN THEM ON WHEN I NEEDED THEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE AGAIN DETERMINED THAT THE TIPM, WHICH IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, HAS AGAIN FAILED. THEY HAVE NOT DETERMINED WHAT IS CAUSING THE CONSISTENT FAILURE OF THE TIPM, AND HAVE HAD IT FOR A WEEK NOW.

CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 23-012-14 FRONT AND REAR CROSS-MEMBER CORROSION . BY WHAT I READ IT SHOULD BE COVERED, BUT DEALERSHIP TOLD THE GIRLFRIEND THAT IT ISN'T ... THIS MEMBER IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH BUT THEY HAVE STATED IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DEATH IF FINAL FAILURE CAUSES A CRASH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
