TAKATA RECALL , IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH WENT OFF AND THE CAR CUT MY FUEL SERVICE OFF, LEAVING ME UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, I PULLED OVER IN A PARKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND COULDN'T START IT BACK UP AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOCKED ALSO. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES AND VISITED THE DEALERSHIP PLENTY TIMES AND THEY AREN'T ABLE TO DIAGNOSE A REAL PROBLEM , IT'S A RECURRING PROBLEM. A NEW COMPUTER WAS PUT IN IT ALSO AND I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS.

FURTHERMORE, THE OVERHEAT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SECONDS AND THEN TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MANHATTAN JEEP (629 W 54TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10019, (877) 225-8709) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURES RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES.

2017 JEEP COMPASS LIMITED HAS EXPERIENCED 5 EPISODES OF STALLING AFTER COMING TO A STOP. VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE AND EACH TIME THE AUTO STOP/START TURNS BACK ON, JUST AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND SHUTS OFF. THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK ON AND MOVED TO SAFETY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES ON BUSY ROADS CAUSING A LIFE SAFETY HAZARD. ON THE 4TH TIME THIS OCCURRED A MECHANIC STATED IT WAS DUE TO LOW OIL. AN OIL CHANGE WAS CONDUCTED AND A WEEK LATER THE 5TH STALLING EPISODE OCCURRED, THIS TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STATE ROAD INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. FORTUNATELY ANY INJURY/ACCIDENT HAS BEEN AVOIDED, HOWEVER THESE INCIDENTS COULD EASILY LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS EXTENSIVE SIMILAR REPORTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS, IT GOES INTO 4WD. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE ON THE ROADWAY OR TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR EVEN BACKING UP. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING GRABBING IN EITHER THE FRONT OR BACK CAN'T REALLY TELL. MAKES GRINDING NOISE. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW AND THEY ALSO SAY IT WAS THE 4WD THAT THEY CAN'T FIX ANYTHING BECAUSE JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR JEEP TO DO A RECALL. IT GETS WORSE EVERY DAY. THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT GIVE US A PAPER BECAUSE OF WAITING ON THE RECALL. ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND NOBODY WANTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL, BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL 2018 AND AFTER 2 MONTHS I STARTED EXPERIENCING A STRANGE KICK COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING, I TOOK IT NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL 7 MONTHS LATER WHEN IT STATTED TO DO IT KORE OFTEN. AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME CAR I FOUND OUT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. UNFORTUNATELY, BY THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP REALIZED IT WAS A DEFECT, MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. 2 DAYS AGO, MY CAR COMPLETELY WENT OUT AND DIDN'T TURN ON, I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW I AM BEING CHARGED OVER TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FIXED. ON TOO OF MAKING MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS, I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A LEMON VEHICLE I PURCHASED.

EVERY 25-30 ENGINE STARTS THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE SAYS THE AIR IS ON IT BLOWS HOT AIR FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL YOU REACH A MINIMUM SPEED OF 60 MPH BEFORE THE VEHICLE KICKS OVER TO AIR. WHILE THE HEAT BLOWS (WITH AC BUTTON LIT UP) OTHER CLIMATE CONTROLS CANNOT BE USED SUCH AS DEFROST.
