2007 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

2007 JEEP COMPASS FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *KB OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-90-0963. *JB

ON SEPTEMBER 20 2007, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, I WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CHECK OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO, I DID NOT HAVE THE A\C ON. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE WITH NO PROBLEM. AND WHILE I MADE A FULL STOP FEW TIMES, I NOTICED THAT THE RPM WAS DROPPING LITTLE BY LITTLE. I CALLED JEEP TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, I WENT ON SEPTEMPER 24,2007 TO THE DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR CHECK. I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE ONLY THING THAT THEY MENTIONED WAS THAT THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. AFTER I TOOK MY CAR, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RPM OF THE CAR DROPS AND THE ENGINE SEEMS THAT IT WANTS TO START AND THEN IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. IT IS A VERY STRANGE BEHAVIOR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DOING THAT BEFORE. I TRIED TO USE A DIFFERENT GAS BRAND FEW TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUE TO OCCUR. IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN, BUT RECENTLY IT IS DOING THAT A LITTLE MORE OFTEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2207 JEEP COMPASS. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A SPEED OF 40 MILES PER HOUR AND THE AIR CURTAINS ON BOTH SIDE OF THE VEHICLES DEPLOYED ON THEIR OWN. THE CAR STALLED IMMEDIATELY IN THE ROAD. WE TOOK THE JEEP FOR REPAIR AND IT WAS KEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 29 DAYS. THEY HAVE RELEASED THE JEEP BACK TO ME, BUT THE JEEP COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHEY IT HAPPENED. THEY ALSO CANNOT TELL ME THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS MY SIXTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS CAR. IF SHE HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AND THIS HAPPENED SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER BY TRAFFIC AND KILLED. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JEEP WOULD WANT CONSUMERS TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD KILL YOU. *JB
