Problems with 2012 Jeep Compass STRUCTURE

Vehicle started making a thumping noise in rear end and started to get worse. it also had a high pitch whining noise coming from the rear end. i had just replaced the rear barring so i didn't think it was those that had started to go bad within 3 months of replacing them. i took it to get looked at and the mechanic told me the whole rear end would have to be replaced before it snapped in half while driving down the road. the cradle arms and everything that was attached to it was rusted, pitted and crumbling in his hands. the frame was rusted completely through. he told me i was lucky i didn't hit a pot hole because that is about all it would have taken to break it. the hubs and barrings were also ruined and needed to be replaced after installing them less than a year ago.

Noise i not sure what , but i recording video sound but i not sure i can add on this pages complaining but maybe is problem with bushings or ball joints

Footrest by the gas and brake pedals broke loose while driving on the highway. appears to be a plastic part mounted by two bolts, in which the plastic broke and part sat loose by my pedals while driving. removed part from being an obstacle near the brake and gas pedals once i could come to a stop.

I got into my 2012 jeep compass ( 4x4 latitude version) and noted a drip of water on the inside of my windshield. at first i thought maybe my windshield was leaking and took note of the area. well, i began to back out and a bunch of water came down on me through my interior light and along the edging of the ceiling of the interior along the windshield. i have had this happen to me twice before, and the issue has to do with the sunroof because of a design flaw in the sunroof drains. researching the internet, this is an issue that has been around for years with jeep models. i fear this will not only cause premature aging of the body due to the water coming in contact with body parts that are not meant for the weather elements, but also the risk of the water getting into areas of the dash causing electrical problems or even the vehicle computer parts under the seating. when the water collects on that ceiling panel, it drains through the interior light down onto the transmission shifter and the car stereo, and also along the paneling along the front windshield into the dash area. *tr

The rear bumper is melted around the exhaust pipe as if there was a fire. i drive my 2 children in this car constantly. i bought this car a month ago. i was shocked to discover the melted plastic bumper and want jeep to repair it all, exhaust pipe and bumper and problem that caused the melting, at no cost to me asap. *tr

The dome light over my dash leaks water when it rains. this is extremely dangerous as i find myself driving and trying to avoid getting wet or avoid the electrical systems to be damaged by water. *tr

Driving to work i heard a clanking noise. i approached a stop light and was told by someone standing by the light that there was something dragging underneath my vehicle. i reached my destination and once the car was parked got out to see what it was. a metal tube was dangling from my undercarriage. i went and got a coworker to help me. he pulled it out and told me it was part of transmission; it was the metal transmission fill tube. he looked under my trunk and pointed out that it snapped and broke off. *tr

While driving my 2012 jeep compass, i went to change lanes and could not see the vehicle in the lane next to me, the vehicle was not able to be seen in the mirrors or by turning my head and physically looking for it, i struck another vehicle because of this. on the drivers side section between the drivers side rear passenger door and the rear a pillar there is a dangerous blind spot, and the passenger side has it as well. *tr
