2007 jeep compass experienced subframe rust/rot with total failure at 76,xxx miles while being operated straight on a state highway.
After filling up my 07 jeep compass not even as i was pulling out of the parking lot the jeep started stuttering and shut off .. it happened multiple times until i got home. while accelerating it would act like it wanted to stall . and while coming to a shop it would cut off. i was almost hit because of this . and i had my disabled daughter in the car. i have read multiple complaints about this & something needs to be done .
I purchased vehicle in feb 2018 for my then 16 year old daughter. last couple of refuels, vehicle will stall out after leaving gas station. she looses power, steering & braking ability when this occurs. vehicle will start back up drive along a while then stall out again. this happens several times then will operate normally till next fill-up.
Replaced front tie rods, sway bar links and passenger side control arm 1 year ago. noticed lots of noise and vibration coming from under the front of the car. brought it to the dealer was told it needed driver side control arm and rear control arms but the cross member and sub frame were so rusted out he told me that the vehicle would still be unsafe to drive even with new parts. the cost of replacing the cross member and sub frame would more than exceed the value of the vehicle
The car stalls and cuts off after filling the tank all the way. if not completely full car works.
When i put gas in the car the first 20 mintues the car turns off when in motion on any street but only in those 20 mintues. after the 20 mintues the car is fine and it says it has no errors and it doesn't turn off.
The front cross member rusted through and the engine dropped,while driving but the car was at a stop. also the rear cross member is also broken
I received a letter in the mail in regards to an ignition switch issue so i went to different dealers to try to get it fixed but no one has been able to see me to fix the issue and i was told until march 2016 there would be more parts coming in and to come back during that time.
Approximately 9 months ago the horn on my 2007 jeep compass began sounding at random. it was disconnected and in 2014 it was taken to the jeep dealership (atlantic auto group, northfield nj). i was told it was the horn pad and they would order the part. a few days later i was told the part was on back order and would be in at the end of january. from there i was continuously told it was on back order until now june 12th 2015 when i was told there are over 30,000 on back order and estimated ship time in august 23rd 2015 (as per atlantic auto). needless to say i contacted chrysler who told me they are switching manufacturers and do not have any timeline as to when this part will be in. i currently still do not have a horn and have been offered no help in the matter other than looking in a salvage yard for another one. i drive around with 2 young children in my car everyday and i am extremely concerned about how this situation is being handled especially since it seems i am not the only one (30,000 on back order) !!
I bought my 2007 jeep compass brand new. i never off-road and i try to drive cautiously avoiding pot holes. i was hearing this weird noise and brought it in to a dealership today. they told me i need to replace the lower control arm costing me several hundred dollars. after searching on the web and seeing all the similar complaints i am convinced this should be a recall. jeep needs to do something this is not right. this is a repair that should not be needed on such new vehicles.
