2007 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

2007 JEEP COMPASS CONTROL ARMS, RIGHT OUTER TIE ROD. I WAS HEARING SOME SQUEAKING WHEN I HIT A BUMP AND A LITTLE GRINDING AS I PULLED UP TO TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED FOR THE MECHANIC TO CHECK IT OUT. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO TOTAL FAILURE OF THE CONTROL ARMS. COST TO FIX: OVER $1000. WITH THE CONTROL ARMS BEING SUCH A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, JEEP SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL. *TR

OUR JEEP 2007 COMPASS HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT REMAINING LATCHED. MOST TIMES IT WILL UNLATCH ITSELF WITHIN SECONDS OF THE CLICK SOUND. AND OTHER TIMES, IT DOES UNLATCH WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. WE DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME YEAR WE BOUGHT IT, AND THEY TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEATBELT. WE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND AGAIN, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT, IS STILL A SAFETY CONCERN FOR US BECAUSE, IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT SEATBELT MAY UNLATCH UPON IMPACT. *TR

SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP COMPASS 2007 STANDARD, THE BRAKE GROUND AND I FELT IN MY FEET SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PEDAL (BRAKE) AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT, SEVERAL TIMES SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THIS, THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND ALL THE TIME TOLD ME THE BRAKES IS OK, I SEND A LETTER TO JEEP COMPANY TO EXPLAIN WHAT WAS HAPPENED AND NOTHING THEY DID. TWO DAYS AGO I WAS CLEANED THE CAR AND FOUND DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL A LEAK, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID: THE BRAKES BOOSTER IS BROKEN, AND I HAVE TO PAID FOR THAT. THANKS TO GOD I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENT,(FORTUNATE) BUT I NEVER FELT ME SAFETY. THE JEEP COMPASS BRAKES 2007 CAME BAD. *TR

2007 JEEP COMPASS STEERING BALL PROBLEM COST $1000 VERY DANGEROUS FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. BALL JOINT PROBLEMS, COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS BEGAN TO MAKE CREAKING NOISES UNDER THE HOOD AT ABOUT 58,000 MILES AND THEN IT QUICKLY GREW LOUDER AND MORE OMNIOUS SOUNDING AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES WHEN GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND ON UNEVEN GROUND. I WORK ON THE ROAD AND SO THE MILES PILE UP QUICKLY. HOWEVER, I LIVE IN THE CITY AND DO NOT TAKE MY CAR OFF ROAD. I ASSUMED THE NOISE WAS MY SWAY BAR - AGAIN - AS DID MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO GET IT TO HIM WHEN IT WAS CONVENIENT. IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT THE NOISE WAS LIKELY MORE THAN THE SWAY BAR AND I DROPPED IT OFF TO MY MECHANIC. HE DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING NEW BALL JOINTS AND SOME TIRE RODS. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR A RECALL OR KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF OTHER COMPASS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED AT LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. THAT IS NOT SATISFACTORY LONGEVITY FOR BALL JOINTS. THIS IS A $900 REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE PAID BY THE CONSUMER. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THIS ISSUE. A VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE TO THOSE WITHIN IT AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR
