2012 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

VEHICLE SPUTTERS, SHAKES, AND ALMOST STALLS OUT. WHEN IT DOES THIS YOU CAN STEP ON THE GAS AND IT WILL GO NO WHERE, I M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IF ANYONE CUTS ME OFF OR IN FRONT OF ME WHILE MY VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONING I COULD GET HIT AND INJURED.I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER, THEIR ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER AGREES ITS A PROBLEM, HE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT OR HOW TO FIX IT, THE MANAGER OF SERVICE SAYS ITS A 4 CYLINDER ISSUE BUT ITS NORMAL. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND IS NOT HELPING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,500. UPDATED 8/24/12 *CN

I PARKED MY JEEP COMPASS TO PICK UP MY SON AT SCHOOL, THEN WHEN I RETURNED AND TRY TO START THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT START, THE ENGINE DIED. I CALLED THE CRANE AND THEY TOWED MY VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER AGENCY IN CIUDAD DEL CARMEN, CAMPECHE, MEXICO AND THAT WAS RECEIVED ON 12-JULY-2012. THE AGENCY RESPOND TO ME THAT THE FAIL WAS IN THE (INTEGRATED POWER MODULE = IPM) AND REQUIRE 15 DAYS FOR ASK THE PART TO THE PLANT AND TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I AM REPORTING THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO ME IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, THE ENGINE PRACTICALLY DIED, AS THE (IPM - INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILS AND DID NOT SEND VOLTAGE TO THE PUMP GAS AND THEREFORE NOT IGNITED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FAILURE IS CRITICAL BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN A PLACE WHERE IT COULD PUT PASSENGERS AT RISK, IF IT OCCURS ON THE ROAD OR IN A PLACE AWAY FROM THE POPULATION, LEAVING HELPLESS PASSENGERS. MAYBE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE MORE AND VERIFY WHAT HAPPEN, AND ALERT THE OTHER USERS AND OWNERS OF JEEP COMPASS 2012. TO AVOID PUT IN RISK THE OWNERS AND THE PASSENGERS AND THE USERS. NOTE: AS YOU DO NOT RECEIVE COMPLAINT FROM MEXICO, I SEND YOU MY INFORMATION AS ESTATE: TEXAS AND ZIP CODE: 78501 . ONLY TO ALERT YOUR COUNTRY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 JEEP COMPASS, I WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND COULD NOT SEE THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE SEEN IN THE MIRRORS OR BY TURNING MY HEAD AND PHYSICALLY LOOKING FOR IT, I STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS. ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SECTION BETWEEN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE REAR A PILLAR THERE IS A DANGEROUS BLIND SPOT, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS IT AS WELL. *TR

THE FIRST TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS CHECKED AND RETURNED, 2 WEEKS LATER THE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, SOME OIL APPLIED TO THE CONNECTORS AND RETURNED. YESTERDAY, THE LIGHT WENT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT 50MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T MOVE AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. UPON TRYING TO RESTART THE IGNITION, IT KEPT STARTING BY ITSELF OVER AND OVER. NOW YOU CAN'T ACCEL THE VEHICLE WHILE IN DRIVE. THE RIGHT STRUT WAS REPLACED ON FEB 2012 BECAUSE IT BROKE. *TR

PERISTENT AND GROWING SMELL OF GAS. TOOK IT TO THE AGENCY FOR CHECKING. CAME BACK TWICE THAT DAY TO GET THE CAR, I WAS ASSURED THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED AND A VALVE REPLACED. THE STRONG SMELL OF GAS LEAKING INSIDE THE CAR PERSISTS. *TR
