2007 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

THE ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING AFTER 90000 MILES. YOU HEAR A BIG THUMPING SOUND LIKE A TANK. YOU DO FEEL IT BUT, IS LOUD WHEN ACCELERATING AND ACCELERATING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPILLED FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE VENT BREEZER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 03/05/14*LJ

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE GAS TANK AT ANY COMMERCIAL GAS STATION THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL THE GAS TANK SINCE ONLY A FEW OUNCES OF FUEL IS RELEASED BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES JUST BEFORE THE NOZZLE SHUTS, GAS AND BUBBLES ARE RELEASED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE WORTHLESS FOR A TRADE -IN OR A PERSONAL SALE. TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THE GAS TANK AND FILLER TUBE MUST BE REPLACED. THE COST IS AROUND $500. PLUS LABOR. THE FLAP VALVE CAN'T BE REPAIRED SINCE IT'S CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE COMPUTER AND WILL SHOW A SAFETY WARNING STATING THAT THE ROLL OVER SAFETY FEATURE IS DISABLED. THERE ARE OTHER MODEL YEARS OF JEEPS THAT HAD A RECALL AND THIS 2007 MODEL SHOULD HAVE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA ON 10/2/2013 & 11/6/2013 AND THE PANEL LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 75 MPH AND I HEARD A WINDING NOISE, I LOST POWER, AND MY RPM'S WENT TO 4/5. I HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T GET MY SPEED OVER 20-30 MPH. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 68 DEGREES SO THE HEAT OUTSIDE DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A POINT WHEN IT WOULDN'T EVEN ACCELERATE. MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 137,000 ON IT. I DO SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO A BUSY ROAD MY TRANSMISSION SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. THE ENGINE WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS THEREFORE IDLING INTO TRAFFIC, BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING WHEN I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO IDLE INTO A PARKING LOT, WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE TRANSMISSION WORKED AGAIN. EARLIER THE SAME DAY, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVING, BUT SOMEHOW RE-ENGAGED ITSELF AND BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE TIME SO IT DIDN'T STRIKE ME AS THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL LATER THAT DAY WHEN IT REPEATED. TERRIFYING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED T BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

MY JEEP JUST WENT OVER 6 YEARS AS ME AS THE SOLE OWNER. THE JEEP IS NOT USED AS ANY TYPE OF OFF ROADING. HAD ISSUE WITH AN OIL CHANGE THAT BROUGHT CAR INTO JEEP DEALERSHIP. A MINOR CLEANUP WAS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED. HOWEVER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE JEEP HAD TIE ROD ISSUES THAT COULD RESULT VERY SOON IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT FOR ME. I HAVE HANKOOK TIRES ON THE CAR. I THOUGHT THE CAR DROVE OKAY. I'M SEEING MANY OTHERS WITH COMPLAINTS ON THE TIE RODS WHERE IT'S BEEN MENTIONED THAT BOLTS WERE NOT FASTENED TIGHTLY CAUSING EARLY FAILURE. AGAIN, APPROXIMATELY 23200 MILES ON A CAR THAT IS BASICALLY DRIVEN TO THE STORE AND CHURCH WITHIN TOWN WITH OCCASIONAL EXPRESSWAY TRIPS OUT OF TOWN. SO, I'M SCARED SILLY THAT IF I DON'T GET THESE FIXED, I'LL KILL ME, ANY OCCUPANTS AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME IT DOES FAIL. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE CAR WITHOUT BEING FIXED. AND, CHRYSLER DOESN'T THINK THERE'S AN ISSUE HERE? THIS WILL COST ME NORTH OF $1100.00 TO FIX. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH MY CAR BUCK AND ALMOST STALLED OUT. IT SEEMED LIKE IT LOST A LITTLE POWER AFTER THAT. WHEN I REACHED A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, I HAD NO POWER AND COULD NOT BREAK 10MPH. MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOW FLASHING AND THE ESP/TCS LIGHT IS ON STEADY. THE ONLY ERROR CODE I AM GETTING IS FOR THE #1 O2 SEOR BECAUSE I DAMAGED IT TAKING IT OUT TO ELIMINATE A CLOGGED CADTILAC CONVERTER. AT TIMES IT TAKES 3 SECONDS FOR MY CAR TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO START (MEANING NOTHING IS HAPPENING). IT HAS A ROUGHER IDLE THEN IT USED TO HAVE. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS HAD BEEN MAKING CLUNKING AND SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN DRIVING OVER SMALL BUMPS AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS ALSO A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO EITHER SIDE, ALSO HAPPENING AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINT ASSEMBLIES AND BOTH OUTER TIE RODS ENDS. IT WAS ALSO STATED I NEEDED A NEW RIGHT STRUT. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I WAS MADE TO SIGN A PAPER STATING THEY HAD TOLD ME THIS. AT LESS THAN 42,000 MILES THESE ARE PARTS THAT SHOULD NOT BE MALFUNCTIONING AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY NOT ENDANGERING MY LIFE. *TR
