2007 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

THE TIPM HAS A KNOWN DEFECT. IT HAS CAUSE THE LEFT HEADLIGHT, TAILLIGHT, AND BLINKER TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS STALL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THIS AT MY OWN COST EVEN THOUGH IT IS A HIGHLY KNOWN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES MANY OF WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED.

ROTTED FRONT SUBFRAME. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET.

HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE PUMP CONSTANTLY CUTS OUT AND ONCE YOU DO GET GAS IN THE TANK AFTER FILLING UP, THE CAR HESITATES AND ACTUALLY STALLS OUT AS YOU DRIVE - . HAS STALLED 3 TIMES IN 1 DAY AND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. THE FUELING ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT NOW THE STALLING AND HESITATION OF MOTOR ISSUE IS SAFETY ISSUE.

STALLS AFTER FILL UP. WE DO NOT TOP OFF OR OVERFILL THE TANK. EVERYTIME WE FILL THE TANK UP TO THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. GENERALLY, THE ENGINE WILL STALL IF IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER FILLUP. THE ENGINE DOES NOT STALL IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ABOVE 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL. AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN A FEW MILES, THE STALLING ISSUE DISAPPEARS ENTIRELY.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS HAPPENS ROUTINELY FOLLOWING A FUEL TANK FILL-UP AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF JEEP COMPASS AND PATRIOT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT RESOLVE. MANY PEOPLE ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE GAS TANK, CHARCOAL FILTER AND ROLL-OVER VALVE NEED TO BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE, WHICH COMES AT A PRICE OF $2000+ PER VEHICLE. THIS NOTIFICATION OF A PROBLEM IS PROACTIVE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO BECOMING REACTIVE TO INJURIES OR FATALITIES.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE LEFT FRONT CROSS MEMBER THAT HAD RUSTED AND WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED FAILED AND FELL ON TO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE.LUCKILY SHE WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO SAFE STOP. IF SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE KILLED HER AS WELL AS OTHERS.I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM A AUTO SALES COMPANY. AFTER THE FAIL I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A EXTENDED (10) WARRANTY (IE X58) THAT WARNED OF THIS PROBLEM AND A FIX PROVIDED BY COMPANY. I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD HAS BEEN REPAIR BEFORE BEING SOLD TO ANYONE OR AT LEAST INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER REP THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA AND THEY HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR WAS IN UNITED STATES SO THE INFORMATION NEVER FOLLOWED THE CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR MAKE WAS IN SEPT OF 2006 EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007 ON TITLE AND THE WARRANTY GOES BY MAKE DAY SO MY CAR IS 6 MONTHS OUT OF A WARRANTY THAT I DID NOT KNOW EXISTED BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA. THE INFORMATION THAT THIS VEHICLE FRONT OR REAR SUSPENSION COULD FAIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE UTTER MOST CONCERN FOR SAFE BY THE CHRYSLER COMPANY OF CANADA AND NOT A I HOPE YOU GOT OUR LETTER THAT YOUR CAR MY KILL YOU OR YOU FAMILY AT ANYTIME FROM RUST FAILURE IN AROUND 10 YEARS OR SO AND WE KNOW IT !!! AS OF TODAY CHRYSLER HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ON WEATHER OR NOT THEY INTEND TO FIX THIS VEHICLE BUT THE FACT REMAIN THERE ARE MORE 2007 JEEP COMPASS OUT THERE THAT NEED TO BE WARNED THAT THE CANADA VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE COULD FAIL ANYTIME I`M SURE I`M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO PURCHASED A COMPASS FROM CANADA PLANT THAT IS NOW IN THE USA THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WHY I FEEL THERE SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEM FOR REPAIR IN STEAD OF HOPE YOU GOT OR LETTER. LOOK AT PICTURE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION, WITHOUT ANY WARNING INDICATORS. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,255.

SUBFAME IS FALLING APART ROTTED FROM A/C DRIP VALVE ! SWAY BAR NO LONGER CONNECTED TO SUBFRAME! BAD DESIGN OF JEEP COMPASS 07 SUBFAME !!!

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP VEHICLE IT STALLS LEAVING THE GAS STATION. USUALLY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED FEET , IT SHUTS DOWN , I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I NOW ONLY PUT IN 8 GALS WHEN ITS LOW ON THE GAUGE. SINCE THEN IT WONT STALL. THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING LEAVING THE STATION STOPPING IN FRONT OF COMING TRAFFIC.

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.
