I CHECKED IT OUT ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY JEEP COMPASS OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND ONLY HAS 41,375 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.

BROUGHT MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS IN TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD BY OUR JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT BOTH OF MY BALL JOINTS ARE FAULTY AND THE CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING.

2007 JEEP COMPASS. AT APPROX 100K MILES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE TIE RODS WERE BAD ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE, SHOWED ME PLAY IN THE WHEEL. SAID IT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. I AGREED TO HAVE NEW TIE RODS PUT ON. ONE MONTH LATER THE CAR BEGAN TO HANDLE ERRATICALLY, I TOOK BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND ASKED TO INSPECT THEIR PREVIOUS WORK AND SEARCH FOR THE HANDLING/STEERING PROBLEM. AFTER TWO HOURS THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. 7 MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR THE FRONT LEFT CONTROL ARM BROKE AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL ACTUALLY BROKE OFF AT THE LOWER BALL JOINT WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. REPLACING CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ON BOTH SIDES PLUS TWO NEW FRONT TIRES NETTED A TOTAL REPAIR COST OF $1400 ... THIS IS ON TOP OF THE PREVIOUS REPAIR COST TO REPLACE THE TIE RODS. *TR

TOOK MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS BAD AND THAT I SHOULD GET IT REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; THAT IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO LEAVE IT AS IS. I FOUND THIS WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS 36,600 MILES ON IT. THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT THE END OF JULY. HOW CONVENIENT. I PLAN ON CALLING THE DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND SEEING IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT WITHOUT THIS COSTING ME A FORTUNE. SEEMS TO ME LIKE THIS IS A PARTS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR
