2007 Jeep Compass

1. FUEL PUMP STARTED ARCHING AND NOZZLE TO HOSE WAS COMING LOOSE-SMELT GAS WHILE IN MOTION, GAS GAUGE STARTED DROPPING DRAMATICALLY 2. HORN STOPPED WORKING-WHILE DRIVING I TRIED TO WARN ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT WHILE I WAS BEHIND THEM, LUCKILY THEY HEARD ME YELLING 3. BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN MOTION TRYING TO BACK OUT IN THE RAIN 4. STRUTS WENT 5. ROTORS WENT 6. CROSS MEMBER-NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND TOOK 2 WEEKS BEFORE DEALERSHIP COULD GET MY APPOINTMENT RIGHT TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF SINCE IT WAS RECALLED 7. TIPM IS GOING. LOST POWER TO 2/2 OUTLETS IN THE VEHICLE. 8. CV AXLE IS GOING. SOUNDS REALLY BAD AND SOUNDS LIKE BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. TREATED THIS VEHICLE WITH LOTS OF CARE AND SO DID PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS TELLS ME THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN DRIVE MY DAUGHTER IN.

THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN VERMONT IN TORRANCE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB. EARLIER THAT WEEK ON SUNDAY AUG 26, 2015 I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY JUMPED BY AAA. INSTEAD OF DRIVING AROUND I LET THE CAR RUN FOR HALF AN HOUR. I REVVED THE ENGINE AND THE RPM STOPPED WORKING ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON. I STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND IT HAD CLUNKING SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS WHICH DISAPPEARED UPON DRIVING FREEWAY SPEEDS. UPON TRYING TO PARK THE CAR AT WORK IT JERKED WHILE IN REVERSE. I DROVE THE CAR THE NEXT FEW DAYS UNTIL IT FAILED ON AUG 31ST WHILE DRIVING HOME ON VERMONT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SCOTT ROBINSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TORRANCE, CA. TESTING THERE REVEALED THE CAR NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 70,000 MILES. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT DUE TO ANY FAULT OF MINE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A AAA APPROVED REPAIR FACILITY TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND AM WAITING TO SEE IF THE CAR REPAIRS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT'S FORTUNATE THE CAR DIDN'T FAIL ON THE FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CLUTCH BECAME STUCK AND PREVENTED THE TRANSMISSION FROM SHIFTING FROM THIRD TO FOURTH GEAR. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AIR IN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE AIR OUT OF THE SYSTEM, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CLUTCH BECAME STUCK IN REVERSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA ON 10/2/2013 & 11/6/2013 AND THE PANEL LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 75 MPH AND I HEARD A WINDING NOISE, I LOST POWER, AND MY RPM'S WENT TO 4/5. I HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T GET MY SPEED OVER 20-30 MPH. THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS 68 DEGREES SO THE HEAT OUTSIDE DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM. THERE WAS A POINT WHEN IT WOULDN'T EVEN ACCELERATE. MY VEHICLE HAS AROUND 137,000 ON IT. I DO SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO A BUSY ROAD MY TRANSMISSION SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. THE ENGINE WAS ON AND THE CAR WAS THEREFORE IDLING INTO TRAFFIC, BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING WHEN I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO IDLE INTO A PARKING LOT, WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE TRANSMISSION WORKED AGAIN. EARLIER THE SAME DAY, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVING, BUT SOMEHOW RE-ENGAGED ITSELF AND BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE TIME SO IT DIDN'T STRIKE ME AS THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL LATER THAT DAY WHEN IT REPEATED. TERRIFYING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED T BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY LOST POWER AND DECELERATED TO 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE TMC MODULE AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUTS, BALL JOINTS AND WHEEL HUBS HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE DESIGNED TO WEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE CVT PART WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE IS A PUBLIC DANGER BECAUSE OF SUDDEN FAILURE AND ENGINE REVVING TO MAXIMUM RPM... TOTAL LOSS OF POWER TO DRIVE TRAIN. THE CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT COSTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEBITED BACK TO THE SUPPLIER AT 100%. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT COMPLETE THE REPAIRS UNTIL WE AGREED TO SHARE IN THE COST. I FEEL THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. I ALSO FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD REFUND OUR $750 TO US IN GOOD FAITH. *TR
