2014 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY A LOUD "POP" NOISE (UNKNOWN ORIGIN) WAS HEARD. AFTER PULLING SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY, A LARGE POOL OF FLUID WAS NOTICED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, SMOKE BEGAN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND A TOTAL LOSS. THE CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SERVICED WITH OIL CHANGE AND FUEL INJECTION CLEANING TWO WEEKS PRIOR (3/4/2017). NO PRIOR MECHANICAL ISSUES . APPROX 39,000 MILES ON ODOMETER

EVERY TIME WE BACK UP THERE IS A LOUD NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE BRAKES. MORE THAN 5 TIMES, MY WIFE HAS ASKED THE JEEP DEALER TO FIX IT OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. THEY SAY THE SAME THING EVERY TIME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE WAY THE BRAKES WORK ON THIS JEEP MODEL. WE ARE FRUSTRATED TO HEAR THIS NOISE WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT.

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 BEARINGS, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WENT COMPLETELY OUT DURING BIG SNOW IN 2016, THE RUTTER VALVE HAD GONE BAD(WHICH COSTS OVER $400., HAVING TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR, AND VARIOUS OTHER THINGS... THIS JEEP HAD BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN SINCE I'VE HAD IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. THEY ARE JUNK AND THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

AT 75000 MILES, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SWITCH SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY, LEAVING THE CAR FUNCTIONING IN LIMP MODE, IF YOU TRIED TO GO FASTER THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR IT WOULD BUCK AND KICK AND GOING UP SMALL HILLS YOU WOULD LOOSE ALL POWER. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIS. WAS ON HIGHWAY DOING 60-65 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DROPPED TO 10

I WAS RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 11-05-2016 ABOUT THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT TENSIONER. THEY KEEP SAYING PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE I AM DRIVING. IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT THEY SHOULD BUY IT BACK. I CAN'T SELL IT WITH AN OPEN RECALL. THEY SHOULD GO TO JAIL OR AT LEAST GET FINED FOR DOING THIS. IT IS UNLAWFUL AND IMMORAL!!

I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP COMPASS SINCE JULY 2014 IN THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT , IT HAS LOST POWER AND STOPPED FUNCTIONING AS I WAS DRIVING BETWEEEN 55 AND 65 MILES/ HOUR 4 TIMES ON A VERY BUSY 5 LANE HIGHWAY. 1 OF THOSE TIMES I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED . THE OTHER TIMES AFTER LEAVING IT SIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES, IT WOULD RESTART.THE TIME IT WAS TOWED, THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND IS THE BATTERY WAS LOW SO THEY REPLACED IT. ANOTHER TIME AT 33,000 MILES, THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING SO THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. LAST MONTH , IT DIED AGAIN IN THE SAME BUSY HIGHWAY AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK WHILE TRYING TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. I LET IT SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AGAIN JUST LIKE THE OTHER TIMES. I TOOK IT TO WALLACE JEEP IN STUART FLORIDA WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT ON THE HIGHWAY NOW FOR WEEKS BECAUSE I FEAR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN AND AM AFRAID OF BEING HIT IN TRAFFIC. IT NOW HAS 66000 MILES ON IT SO THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE ON IT AS THE ORIGINAL DID. I A OPENED A CASE WITH JEEP AND CAN NEVER GET THEM TO CALL ME BACK I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AS LONG AS I LIVE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT! SO NOT FAIR THAT I AM STUCK WITH THIS DEATH TRAP! I PREVIOUSLY OWNED 3 DIFFERENT GRAND CHEROKEES WITH NO ISSUE , BUT THIS COMPASS IS A WORTHLESSS, DANGEROUS, POLE OF JUNK! I LOATHE THIS VEHICLE!
