2007 Jeep Compass

CAR ENGINE STALLING AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR A TUNE UP 11//09. DEALER CHANGED COUPLE OF PLUGS BUT NOTHING ELSE WAS NEEDED. 1/10 CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ACTING UP, ENGINE STARTED STALLING AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE, CAR SIMPLY DIED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. DEALER SAID IT WAS A BAD COIL. ASKED ME IF I HAD WASHED ENGINE, ANSWER WAS NO. DEALER REPLACED COIL AND STATED PROBLEM WAS FIXED. CAR STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING ON 1-16 (GA), CAR WOULD STALL, COULDN'T ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH PEDAL WAS TO THE CAR FLOOR. EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD ACTED UP, (ONE OF MY TIRES HAD 10 AIR PRESSURE, PULLED OVER AND TIRE HAD 35 AIR PRESSURE). SAME ISSUES THAN BEFORE, I THOUGHT CAR WOULD DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY(7/11/10). TOOK TO DEALER 7/14/2010 AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER (WAS ASSIGNED A CASE). DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $75 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS, REFUSED TO PAY, SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS FREE OF CHARGE, HOWEVER CHRYSLER STATES THERE IS NO ASSURANCE PROBLEM WILL BE COVERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, MY CAR COULD DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY WITH MY TWO KIDS INSIDE ,CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I PAID FOR THE TUNE UP, CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY FIRST TIME BUT NOTHING WAS SAID OR FIXED THEN. PROBLEM PERSISTS AND NOW CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND I NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS? DEALER FAILED TO FIND PROBLEM TWICE BEFORE. CHRYSLER AND DEALER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PUTTING MY LIFE AND MY KIDS LIFE IN DANGER. ALSO HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT REPAIRING AN ISSUE THAT IS VERY COMMON AMONG THESE CARS OF THE SAME YEAR. RECALL WAS ISSUED ON SPEED PEDAL, BUT MINE NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER. I FEEL VERY UNSECURE WHILE DRIVING CAR. CHRYSLER STATES DEALER AND COMPANY ARE ACTING IN GOOD WILL BY RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS FOR FREE. THEY ARE MANUFACTURER OF CAR, WHICH HAS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. DEALER FAILED TO REPAIR CAR TWICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. ACT IS NOT GOOD WILL, ITS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. AFTER PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE STILL RUNNING. SHE NOTICED SMOKE POURING OUT UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. SHE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE GARAGE WAS ATTACHED TO HER HOME AND SHE WANTED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO HER HOUSE. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, THE SMOKE SUBSIDED. SHE CALLED THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 55,396.

I OWN A 2007 JEEP COMPASS THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE OF 2006. BEGINNING IN MAY OF THIS YEAR THE CAR BEGAN SUFFERING BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEED ENGINE STALLS, WHERE THE WARNING 'BELL' SOUNDS, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN BY MY COLLEGE AGE DAUGHTER AND REPRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH HER AND THOSE AROUND HER. MOST RECENTLY THIS CONDITION OCCURRED ON I-85 SOUTH OF ATLANTA IN A MAJOR CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHILE SHE WAS GOING 60 MILES AN HOUR. TWO WEEKS AGO THE OPELIKA JEEP DEALERSHIP DID THE 'SOFTWARE UPGRADE' RECOMMENDED BY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME THE DEALER COULD NOT 'RECREATE' THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A DEALERSHIP IN UNION CITY, GA WHERE IT WAS TOWED. IN PAST FAILURES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER REMAINING TURNED OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WITH THE LATEST OCCURRENCE THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. IN FACT IT ACTED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK WAS ENGAGED BECAUSE TURNING THE KEY PRODUCED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS CAR REPRESENTS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND THOSE ON THE ROAD AROUND HER. *TR
