.MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4 LTD STALL WHEN I FUEL IT UP. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SENDING UNITS AND THE VAPOR CANISTER. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP COMPASS AND PATRIOT VEHICLES. MY MECHANIC MUST REPLACE THE GAS TANK AS THE ROLLOVER VALVE CANNOT BE REPLACED TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE STALLS EVERY TIME WHEN COMING TO A STOP DIRECTLY AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. IT WILL STALL 4-6 TIMES BUT WILL START BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD WITH RPM'S UP FOR A FEW MINUTES THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO TURN A CORNER AND HAVE YOUR VEHICLE STALL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM JEEP...IT'S NOT SAFE UPDATED 09/01/15*LJ UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS HORN WOULD NOT STOP BLOWING. THE DEALER DISABLED IT AND THE CAR WOULD GO IN THE NEXT DAY. OVER 5 DAYS IT HAD TO BE JUMPED 4X AS THE JEEP WAS DEAD TRYING TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY AND AFTER 5 HOURS THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FIXABLE BECAUSE IT NEEDED A HORN SWITCH. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO ONE HAS A HORN SWITCH FOR IT. THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER..THERE ARE 527 ORDERS FOR IT WITH NO DELIVERY DATE IN SIGHT. YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE HORN BLOWING OR WITH IT DISABLED OR RUN THE SAFETY RISK OF NEEDING THE HORN OR THE JEEP DYING ON YOU MID ROUTE. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 20 PLUS DAYS. JEEP NOT HAVING THIS PART OR DEALERS GETTING ACCESS TO IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE WILL DRIVE WITH THE HORN DISABLED IF THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR CAR...WHAT ELSE ARE WE/ THEY TO DO!!!???...UPDATED 07/30/15 *BF UPDATED 9/23/15 *JS

APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO THE HORN ON MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS BEGAN SOUNDING AT RANDOM. IT WAS DISCONNECTED AND IN 2014 IT WAS TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP (ATLANTIC AUTO GROUP, NORTHFIELD NJ). I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HORN PAD AND THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD BE IN AT THE END OF JANUARY. FROM THERE I WAS CONTINUOUSLY TOLD IT WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL NOW JUNE 12TH 2015 WHEN I WAS TOLD THERE ARE OVER 30,000 ON BACK ORDER AND ESTIMATED SHIP TIME IN AUGUST 23RD 2015 (AS PER ATLANTIC AUTO). NEEDLESS TO SAY I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME THEY ARE SWITCHING MANUFACTURERS AND DO NOT HAVE ANY TIMELINE AS TO WHEN THIS PART WILL BE IN. I CURRENTLY STILL DO NOT HAVE A HORN AND HAVE BEEN OFFERED NO HELP IN THE MATTER OTHER THAN LOOKING IN A SALVAGE YARD FOR ANOTHER ONE. I DRIVE AROUND WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY CAR EVERYDAY AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS SITUATION IS BEING HANDLED ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE (30,000 ON BACK ORDER) !!

I HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAME IS ROTTEN AND HAVE HOLES IN THEM. HE FURTHER STATED THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND I SHOULD REPORT THE PROBLEM AND CALL CHRYSLER AS THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. *TR

SO SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. ALL I CAN HEAR IS CLUNKING NOISES AS IF THERE ARE NO SHOCKS OR SUSPENSION TO THIS 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. I BRING MY VEHICLE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE FRONT AND REAR SUB FRAMES ARE COMPLETED ROTTED. THESE SUB FRAMES FROM WHAT I KNOW IS VERY DANGEROUS IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF. IT HOLDS YOUR SUSPENSION TOGETHER. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER YET? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FOR THEM TO MAKE THIS ISSUE A RECALL? *TR
