What owners report
SEVERE CORROSION TO THE FRAME AND SUB FRAME OF THE JEEP COMPASS. THE FRONT SUB FRAME IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THERE SHOULD NOT BE THIS MUCH CORROSION ON A 2007 VEHICLE OF ANY KIND.
DURING VEHICLE INSPECTION THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WAS FOUND TO HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS REPLACED IN 2016 UNDER A CAMPAIGN THROUGH JEEP. NOT A RECALL THOUGH. NOW TWO YEARS LATER THE REAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAD A TEN YEAR EXPIRATION FROM DATE OF MANUFACTURE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT FROM JEEP AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD A TIME LIMIT PLACED ON IT. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED. JEEP KNOWS THEY ARE DEFECTIVE ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND PUT $423 INTO THE FRONT END REPLACING ROTORS, BRAKES, WHEEL BEARINGS, HUB ASSEMBLY AND CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ONLY TO TAKE IT TO A GARAGE TO FIND OUT WHY IT WAS STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES THAT IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE STRUTS AND WHOLE FRONT END IS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR THAT WOULD COST MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. ALSO THE CAR DEALERSHIP HAS REMOVED THE AIRBAGS AND NOW MADE IT NONSTICKERABLE. YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FEELING LIKE THE FRONT END IS GONNA FALL OUT AND IS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING.
STARTED HEARING A LOT OF NOISES IN THE FRONT END, TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. HE SAID THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER WAS RUSTED IN 2, WHICH WAS CAUSING EVERYTHING TO ROCK. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HE SAID THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.
ISSUES WITH CAR STALLING/SHUTTING OFF AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IDLE OR WHILE IN DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MANY OCCASIONS. ISSUE OCCURRED AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK COMPLETELY BUT THEN HAPPENED AFTER EVERY FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT. CAR ALSO TAKES LONGER TO FILL UP AS GAS PUMP AT GAS STATION WOULD CLICK OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FILL CAR.
