MY JEEP COMPASS 2007 WENT IN TO HAVE THE TWO FRONT TIRES REPAIRED. THE REPAIR MAN FOUND THAT MY LOWER BALL JOINTS AND LEFT OUTER TIE ROD WERE "TRASH". THE LEFT SIDE HAD FALLEN APART. I CALLED JEEP TO SPEAK TO THEM IN REGARDS TO THIS AFTER CHECKING IT OUT ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY JEEP COMPASS OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THE EQUIPMENT THEY ARE USING OR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PUTTING THEM TOGETHER ARE NOT EITHER FAULTY OR NOT WELL DONE. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. JEEP DID OFFER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR IN THE "EVENT THAT IT TRULY WAS A DEFECT". THE PROBLEM IS MY JEEP IS NOT A CHRYSLER DEALER AND WHERE IT'S AT AND THE CONDITION IT IS IN, IT WOULD COST ME NEARLY $500 PLUS TO GET TO ONE. WITH THAT JEEP WOULD NOT HELP ME. I AM STUCK PAYING FOR THE REPAIR OF A VEHICLE THAT HAS FAULTY PARTS AND WORKMANSHIP. THIS IS NOT A SINGLE EVENT... AND I ASK THAT YOU FORCE JEEP CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS DEFECT. I WILL BE GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED RIGHT WHERE IT'S AT, BUT I WILL BE PURSUING JEEP LEGALLY THROUGH THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ECT UNTIL THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMPASS WITH 55,000 MILES, THE LOWER BALL JOINTS AND TIE ROD ENDS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IN MY OPINION AND THE REPAIR SHOPS OPINION THIS IS EXTREMELY PREMATURE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THESE PARTS. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT OF THESE PARTS ARE NOT CHEAP EITHER. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE OR THE SISTER VEHICLE TO THIS, THE JEEP PATRIOT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH JEEP CUSTOMERS WITH LESS MILES THAN MINE. WHAT REALLY FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. AND KEEP CHARGING $800.00 TO REPAIR THIS PART THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE POINT WHERE THE BALL JOINTS AND TIE ROD ENDS ARE ABOUT READY TO BREAK. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
