2014 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

BROUGHT 2014 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR A SAFETY AND EMISSION INSPECTION. 2014 JEEP COMPASS FAILED EMISSIONS TEST. 21000 MILES. NEW YORK STATE. JEEP CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNWILLINGLY TO PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY INSPECTION IS ONLY GOOD UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY AND THIS MANNER NEEDS TO BE URGENTLY RESOLVED.

WHILE LOOKING AT VEHICLES ON THE DEALER LOT I NOTICED THIS VEHICLE HAD THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE IN CONTACT TO THE DASH PANEL STEEL UPPER CROSS MEMBER. SINCE THE PRESSURE HOSE MOVES WITH THE ENGINE IT CAN WEAR A HOLE IN THE HOSE AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE STEERING ASSIST AND SPRAY FLUID ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WAS CLOSE BY. THIS WAS AN ISSUE I DISCOVERED IN AUGUST OF 2014 WHILE WORKING AT FCA AND I TOLD THE COMPANY THIS ISSUE WAS A DESIGN SAFETY VIOLATION OF FCA OUT STANDARDS. I WAS IGNORED. SOME VEHICLES WHICH HAD NOT BEEN SHIPPED YET WERE KNOWINGLY SHIPPED WITH THIS UNACCEPTABLE HOSE CLEARANCE CONDITION.

MY JEEP IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE ESC TURNS OFF/ON OWN ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON WHEN I USE THE LEFT/RIGHT TURN SIGNALS, TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON, AND SOMETIMES JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER STATED TO MY HUSBAND THAT ITS NOT SAFE FOR THE VEHICLE DO THIS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DISPLAY AN ERROR CODE, AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THESE ISSUES. VEHICLE ALSO MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND THE STEERING FEELS VERY VAGUE AND BOUNCY. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN RANDOMLY DURING BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. MY JEEP IS A 2014 COMPASS, FWD, 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK THIS TIME. THE ESC ISSUE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS WELL AS, THE WIPERS. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MAKES ME WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS, ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC. ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL RECALL THAT IMPACTS MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE HIJACKING OF THE VEHICLE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM/BLUE TOOTH. I CANNOT GET RESOLUTION FROM THE DEALERSHIP.
