2014 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

UPON DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, MY CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP CAUSING TRAFFIC TO SHUTTER AROUND ME AND MY NOW 60MPH CAR JERKED TO A 20MPH SPEED. THIS WAS UNSAFE AND NOW THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE ABOVE 20MPH. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE MENTIONING THIS ONLINE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE NOTE!

MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL AND STARTED FROM THE HEADLIGHT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DOING 40 WITH 2 OF MY CHILDREN WHEN I LOST ALL POWER CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER. I ENDED UP ON SOMEONES LAWN AND PULLED UP ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY CAR, ONLY WAY. I ENDED UP BEING TOWED HOME. CAR STARTED NEXT DAY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR WHICH THEY STATED WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. JUST THIS WEEK I TOOK TO GET ITS FIRST INSPECTION SINCE PURCHASING AND IT FAILED FOR EMISSIONS. I WAS TOLD BY INSPECTOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAD BEEN FAILING FOR FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE AND TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THIS IS THE FIRST THEY'RE HEARING OF THIS ISSUE AND I WASN'T ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND SAID THAT THERE MAY BE A CHARGE FOR ME TO FIX???? I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR HUB BEARINGS. I CALLED THE JEEP MANUFACTURER WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY USELESS AS WELL AND SAID CERTAIN THINGS ARE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS MAY BE ONE THAT ISN'T. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS THAT I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD CAR THAT FAILED ITS FIRST INSPECTION. I HAVE A CLAIM WITH THEM.

THE HEADREST ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEPERATED. (SPLIT AS IF IN AN ACCIDENT) THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS NOT IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER INSPECTING THE HEADREST I NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF PLASTIC HAD BROKEN AND RELEASED THE SPRING LOADED HEADREST. THE CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY, I FOUND THE BROKEN HEADREST IN THE MORNING.

CAR SHUDDERS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND SEEMS TO WANT SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING A THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IN THE HIGHWAY AND RUSH HOUR TIME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I NEED AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET. THE NEXT DAY AFTER THEY ACCESSED MY I RECEIVED A RED LIGHTENING BOLT SIGNAL AND THE CAR STALLED THEN IT STARTED BACK UP WITH A JERKING AND SHUDDERING IN THE STREET. I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE INTO MY JOBS PARKING LOT AT THIS MOMENT THE CAR US STILL THERE I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE OPENED A CASE NUMBER BUT HAVE TO GET BACK TO ME ON THEIR ASSESSMENT. SO I'M OUT OF CAR TO GET TO WORK MY BOSS AFTER WORKING 12 HOURS OFFERED TO TAKE ME HOME NOW I HAVE TO GET AN UBER OR LYFT TO AND FROM WORK

THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GO ON INTERMITTENDLY FOR THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WILL PAUSE A FEW SECONDS, WARNING LIGHTS WILL GO ON, AND VEHICLE WILL PROCEED FORWARD. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INSTANCE WAS WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, SPEED REDUCED TO 2MPH, WARNING LIGTS FOR ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD WENT ON, AND VEHICLE PROCEEDED FORWARD. I HAD VEHICLE SERVICED THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS, NOTHING IS INDICATED. THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE WHEEL BEARING 4 TIMES WITH THE HOPE THAT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT. WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT INTO THIS ERROR MODE WITH THE PAUSE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND 4WD LIGHTS GO ON AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDS FORWARD. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN BACKING UP. I FEAR THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION OF THE ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. AN ATTORNEY CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE CONTACT. AFTER THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND EXITED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY AND STRUCK THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MULTIPLE FRACTURES TO THE RIGHT ANKLE, RIBS, AND RIGHT WRIST AS WELL AS ABRASIONS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *BF UPDATED 10/11/18*JB

2 YEARS! FOR OVER 12 YEARS MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON..... FOR 2 YEARS THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS RECALL FOR THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER. THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY ... 2 YEARS I I HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING THIS FIXED, FOR 2 YEARS I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE... YET THEY ARE CHURNING OUT NEW JEEPS EVERY SINGLE DAY... WHY CANT THIS BE REPLACED WITH ONE FROM THE NEW JEEPS? THANKFULLY I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT, AND NEEDED THIS AIRBAG, BUT WHAT IF I WOULD? WHAT IF I WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHERE AN AIRBAG COULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFE? WILL JEEP DO SOMETHING THEN? WHY AREN'T THEY BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS? MILEAGE AND SPEED ENTRIES ARE JUST NUMBER TO FILL THE BLANKS, SINCE I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT... THE DATE FILLED IN IS THE DATE THE RECALL WAS POSTED.

I SEE AN EXISTING RECALL THAT MATCHES ALL THE ISSUES MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING AND YET MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO TEST THAT THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE ALL THE CARS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE. (NOT THE AIRBAG RECALL) MY CAR HAS STALLED A COUPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY AND I NOTICE A STRANGE SHIFT ISSUE IN MY CAR. WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING BELT FELT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER CARS I HAD DRIVEN AND THAT IT WAS MORE UP TO DATE. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR HAD AN ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN I GO TO SPEED UP, MY JEEP SPUTTERS AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL ON ME. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY DON'T FEEL IT AND THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
