2007 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING TANK ( NOT OVERFILLING ) . RUNS ROUGH THEN STALLS AND POWER STEERING CUTS OUT LOCKS UP ON ROAD.

WHEN YOU FEEL THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OUT AND STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AFTER READING ON SEVERAL WEB SITES THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT THIS IS A MAJORITY INCIDENT. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER YOU FILL THE TANK FULL IT WILL STOP WITH NO WARNING AND MESA FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS BEFORE IT'LL RESTART AGAIN. IF THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET KILLED.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT END OF HIS JEEP COMPASS PULLED LEFT AND WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND GRINDING VERY LOUD. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS POINTING OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF CENTER. I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE AND THE MAIN CROSS MEMBER RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THIS PARTS DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES. HOWEVER, THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT IN JULY 2016. IF THEY KNOW THAT THERE ARE ISSUES AND ALREADY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS; WHY DON'T THEY MAKE IT RIGHT ON ALL THE VEHICLES.

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE TO FULL TANK, AFTER LESS THAN A MILE TRAVELED, WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND STALLS OUT. WILL USUALLY RESTART AFTER VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. HAPPENS AFTER 90-95% OF FUEL FILLUPS. HAS BEEN HAPPINING FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, HAVE NOTICED IN INTERNET FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, VEHICLE, RUNS ROUGH/ STALLS PULING INTO TRAFFIC . PROBLEM DISSIPATES AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP WHERE THE ISSUE REPEATS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENTRIES OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ALSO AFFECT THE JEEP PATRIOTS, WHICH ALSO NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

REAR CROSS BAR AXLE IS DEFECTIVE. THE WHEEL SUSPENSION IS DETERIATED TO THE POINT THAT THE WHEELS PROTRUDE OUWARD FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING EXTREME WEAR ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE REAR TIRES TO THE POINT OF WIRES ON RADIAL TIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE TIRES SHOW MINIMUM WEAR. MECHANICS SAY THIS CROSS BAR AXLE IS POOR QUALITY STEEL OR STEEL THAT WASN'T CURED AND FINISHED PROPERLY. THE CROSS BAR AXLE IS LITERALLY ERODING WITH HOLES OCCURRING RIGHT THROUGH THE AXLE ITSELF. FEAR IS THE CAR IS BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT FEAR THAT UPON HITTING A BUMP THE REAR WHEELS WILL SPREAD APART AND THE CAR FALL TO THE GROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO WESTBORN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (23300 MICHIGAN AVE, DEARBORN, MI 48124, (877) 295-7806). THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A DEALER BULLETIN FOR THE SWAY BAR AND THE CROSSPINS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

TOOK VEHICLE TO BE SAFETY INSPECTED, AND IT FAILED BECAUSE THE REAR SUBFRAME OR CROSSMEMBER WAS ROTTED OUT..... THIS IS A PROBLEM KNOWN TO JEEP .... BUT THEY SAID THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR BRAKE REPAIR SERVICE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS IT STALLS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW MILES. I'VE READ THE BLOGS ON THE WEB AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VAVLE. THE ONLY FIX APPARENTLY IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,2000. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND IT HAS STOPPED ON HER IN TRAFFIC TWICE AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. LUCKILY SHE ESCAPED BEING HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THIS IS SO WRONG! THIS IS A DEFECT AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO FIX THIS ISSUE.
