My jeep compas was built 8-2016 and is making a extremely loud grinding noise. i took my vehicle to get looked at and they rotated the tires. they stated the tires are in excellent condition and stated that it maybe the axel or internally because exterior visual inspection everything was fine. i came home and put the car in park and it was still rolling and i put the emergency brake on and that was making a grinding noise also. i no longer feel safe driving my vehicle. i need my vehicle to be added to recall t-26 as i am not going to pay for these repairs upfront. the grinding noise just seems to be getting louder. i do not want to operate the vehicle and loose control while driving my kids to school or even just driving to the dealership for repairs.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep compass. while driving 25 mph, the contact heard an abnormal noise. the vehicle was taken to bud clary moses lake chrysler dodge jeep ram (located at 12174 n frontage rd, moses lake, wa 98837, (509) 765-3461) where it was initially diagnosed that the driver and passenger side cv axles needed to be replaced. the second time the dealer diagnosed that the driver and passenger side ball joints needed to be replaced. the parts were not available and the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 29,000.
Engine has excessive oil consumption which causes the vehicle to just stall out. recommended 5000 oil changes but dealers will say 3000 and to check oil every 2 days because it may need 4-5 qts between oil changes. this started within 5 months of driving it off the showroom floor. dealer and chrysler corp are aware of issues but no fix has been discovered not do they care. my daughter and her 2 babies were almost killed when it just stalled exiting a major freeway and an 18 wheeler right behind her...case manager (3rd case since 2017) at fca was 'oh, so scary'. this is a serious, deadly issue and dealers omit things from the system, perform the consumption tests improperly or don't record them at all so they will not have to do what's right. the vehicle will totally shut down while turning, emergency brake will apply and it takes a bit to get it started again. sometimes lights on dash will all flash on or sometimes just the oil light (even within 2 weeks of an oil change).
