2013 Jeep Compass Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND NOTICED THAT MY JEEP STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ONTO AN EXIT RAMP BUT ONCE I REACHED THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP MY JEEP WOULD NOT GO ANY FURTHER. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF & WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT THE JEEP WOULD NOT START. ANOTHER DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO JUMP IT OFF BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT FOR "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" ILLUMINATED WHEN TRYING TO CRANK THE JEEP.

THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY DURING A CRASH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

S61 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER DON,T WORK. MAY NOT WORK IF IN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING MY CAR AND THE ENGINE REVVED, THE LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT CAME ONE, AND THE LOST ABILITY TO MOVE AT MORE THAN 5MPH. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WAS FINE. GOT IT HOME AND TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. DEALER ASSURED ME THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS AND COULD FIX IT. GOT IT BACK A FEW DAYS LATER AND IT WAS FINE. FAST FORWARD A FEW MONTHS, MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND DID THE SAME THING. SHE MANAGED TO GET OFF THE ROAD, A 4 LANE MAJOR HIGHWAY, SAFELY AND CALL ME. CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD IT TOWED. WAS TOLD THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING OVER AND RESET THE COMPUTER IT SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. AGAIN, CAR WAS FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THE WHOLE PROCESS STARTED OVER. AGAIN, THE THIRD TIME, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY CALLED AND WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND COULD SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEIR ADVICE WAS THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED TO LEAVE THE CAR RUNNING AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM STILL RUNNING SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 YEARS NOW. REALLY, THAT IS YOUR EXPERT ADVICE. I DO NOT DRIVE IT MUCH ANYMORE AND HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE THIS THING IS A DEATH TRAP. CANT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY I CAN UNLOAD IT, WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP IN MY LIFE.

DURING COMMUTE ON TUES 6/21 VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE DEACCELARATION; FOLLOWING DAY VEHICLE SEEMED TO RESUME WORKING; BY FRI. 6/24 VEHICLE BEGAN TO DISPLAY THE SAME PERFORMANCE ISSUE

THERE IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS STARTED AS A MINOR ANNOYANCE AND NOW I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE RED LIGHTENING LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY CAR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING 70MPH AND HAVING TO ABRUPTLY SLOW AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I WILL BE DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND WILL CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO PULL OVER TO TURN MY CAR OFF. NOW I CANT EVEN TURN MY CAR ON WITHOUT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ON. THE CAR IDLES ROUGH AND THE HANDBOOK SAY TO TURN THE CAR OFF IMMEDIATELY WHEN IT DOES THIS. THIS ALMOST LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT FROM DRIVING OVER THE PASS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO AACCELERATE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

WITH ALL FUSES ATTACHED, THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN I4 THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO WAIT FOR THE VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE BUYING IT BRAND NEW IN 2013. THE ISSUES STARTING IN APRIL 2015, WITH 35000 MILES ON THE CAR. JEEP CONTINUES TO SAY THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT RETRACTORS WERE FRACTURED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IN 09/11/2015 WITH MY REAR RIGHT CONTROL ARM THE RUBBER BUSHING GAVE OUT AND THE CONTROL ARM WAS SQUEAKING VERY LOUDLY, I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY GAVE ME A GOODWILL SERVICE CHARGE OF $100 BUT AFTER I ASKED IF THE CONTROL ARM ON THE LEFT ALSO WENT BAD WOULD THEY ALSO HONOR THE GOODWILL THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE MY PROBLEM. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE REAR CONTROL BUSHING HAS GONE BAD IN FEB OF 2016 NOW I HAVE TO FIX THIS THING. I KNOW THAT IF IT FAILS COMPLETELY I COULD HAVE A CONTROL PROBLEM. WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP AND ALL THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL BUT I KNOW THAT OTHER JEEPS ARE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. WOULD YOU PLEASE INTERVENE IN THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME [XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP JUNE 25TH 2015. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES, AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM EVEN BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR FAX SHOWS WHERE IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED BACK ON APRIL 25, 2014. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT IT HAD TO HAVE TWO TIRES REPLACED ON 6/8/2015. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE CORRECTED. WORK ORDERS FROM 7/18/2015, 8/25/2015 AND 9/3/2015. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT I DO NOT DRIVE IT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. I FEEL ANY MOMENT I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE VEHICLE HAS SWIRLED TWO TIMES ON ME SO BAD THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE WALL. IF I HAD NOT STOPPED THE VEHICLE FAST ENOUGH, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WALL. IF A CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY RIGHT, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SERVICE ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, A SECOND VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONTACT HEARD A WHINING SOUND EMERGING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA. THE CONTACT HAD TO MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT LET THE VEHICLE COOL DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AND IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION.

EARLY MORNING. GOING N ON I-75, EXITING ON EXIT 22 (GLADES PARKWAY). SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT, MY DAUGHTER PERCEIVED A BURNING ODOR INSIDE THECAR, I TRIED TO KEEP REDUCING THE SPEED BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE EXIT CURVE WAS IN FRONT OF US AND THANKS GOD WE CRASHED INTO THE SIDEWALK BORDER, WHERE THE CAR WENT OVER THE GRASS WITH THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL, SCRATCHED THE UNDERNEATH AND THAT ALLOWED US TO GET OUT OF THE GRASS AND STOP THE CAR. I AM TRULY SCARED OF GETTING INTO THAT CAR AGAIN. AS A MATER OF FACT, JUST THINKING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED, I DO NOT WANT THAT CAR ANYMORE, SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE. AXLE, SUSPENSION SYSTEM, RACK & PINION, BEARINGS, WHEEL, ENGINE SUPPORTS, AND MORE DAMAGED. *TR

I ALREADY FILED A COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. MY PURPOSE NOW IS TO NOTIFY THE INCREDIBLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INTEREST THE CHRYSLER CORP TOOK REGARDING THIS INCIDENT. TO START, THEY PLAYED EVERY EXCUSE TO AVOID GOING TO THE BODY SHOP TO INSPECT THE JEEP, AND I KEPT TELLING THEM THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL RIGHT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED AND THE JEEP STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND SPEEDING ON ITS OWN. WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT TO THE SHOP, I UNDERSTAND THE REVIEW WAS A VERY SUPERFICIAL ONE AND OF COURSE, THEIR CONCLUSSION WAS THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. IN A WORD, THEY DID NOT BOTHER TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THE BURNING SMELL, IF SOME ELECTRICAL OR CIRCUIT WAS BAD, THEY JUST DID NOT CARE. THIS LACK OF INTEREST FROM THEM ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AVOIDING FUTURE ACCIDENTS THAT MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF HUMAN LIVES OR BAD INJURIES GOT ME VERY UPSET TO A APOINT THAT AS SOON AS THE JEEP GOT OUT OF THE BODY SHOP AND WAS REPAIRED, I TRADED IT FOR A RELIABLE VEHICLE, AND I SURELY DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE I KNOW TO BUY A CAR MNANUFACTURED BY THE CHRYSLER GROUP. *TR

ENTERED BANK PARKING TO USE ATM MACHINE, AT THAT TIME WHEN STEPPED ON BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR, IT ACCELERATED LIKE SOMEONE WAS STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. AT THAT TIME I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR BY SHIFTING INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND ALSO TRIED PULLING KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AT THAT TIME KNEW I HAD TO GET CAR STOPPED WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE, SO THERE WAS A WOODED AREA BEHIND BANK, I RAN CAR INTO AREA THAT HAD HUGE ROCKS WHICH I RAN OVER AND THEREFORE HIT A TREE HEAD ON TO STOP MY CAR. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT STILL CHARGE GEARS OR CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY (ANY OF THEM). NOT SURE IF THIS IS A BRAKE, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER, AIR BAG, OR A COMBINATION PROBLEM. *TR

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR SIDE VIEW MIRROR IS A MOTORIZED MIRROR AND HAS A HEATING ELEMENT INSIDE THE MIRROR. SOMETHING ELECTRICAL INSIDE THE MIRROR CAUSED ENOUGH HEAT FOR THE MIRROR TO MELT AND GO ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, UNOCCUPIED AND NOT RUNNING AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED, THERE WAS A SHORT BETWEEN THE WIRES WITHIN THE DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR POWER MIRROR WHICH CAUSED A FIRE AND THE MIRROR MOTOR MELTED. THE FLAMES WERE EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER RECEIVING NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. 13V120000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART NEEDED TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN, MONTHS LATER AND WAS ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH THEY DID HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE ACCOMPANYING TOOL NEEDED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT DID CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. UPDATED 10/17/13*LJ

I RENTED A 2013 JEEP COMPASS FROM ENTERPRISE IN HOUSTON. WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE SHOE ON MY LEFT FOOT SNAGGED ON AN OBSTRUCTION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FLOORBOARD. WHILE FREEING MY FOOT, I INADVERTENTLY UNLATCHED THE HOOD. I FAILED TO NOTICE THE HOOD WAS UNLATCHED UNTIL I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRAVELING 70 MPH AND NOTICED THE HOOD WAS LOOSE. THE SAFETY LATCH KEEP THE HOOD CLOSED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND EXIT THE FREEWAY. MY INSPECTION OF THE HOOD LATCH RELEASE LEVER SHOWS THAT IT STANDS PROUD OF THE PLASTIC SIDE PANEL BY APPROXIMATELY 3/8". IT IS EASILY SNAGGED BY A SHOE WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE RELEASE OPERATES BY PULLING IT HORIZONTALLY TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND UNLESS YOU HEAR THE HOOD UNLATCH, THERE IS NO WARNING UNTIL YOU ARE DRIVING FAST ENOUGH TO NOTICE THE HOOD BOUNCING. A FAILURE OF THE SAFETY LATCH COULD RESULT IN THE HOOD FLYING OPEN AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A WRECK. *TR

HELLO, 3/4/2015 MY BROTHER BOUGHT A 2013 JEEP COMPASS ON HIS BIRTHDAY OF THE SAME YEAR. OVER THE LAST FEW (4-6) MONTHS, WE HAVE CUT OUR FINGERS, REPEATEDLY ON THE CHROME COVERING THE DOORS HANDLES. WE ARE NOT TALKING PAPER CUTS NOR ARE WE DESCRIBING EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, WE ARE DESCRIBING A VERY DEEP AND OPEN SLICE, MOSTLY TO THE NERVES OF OUR FINGER TIPS, CAUSING ME TO MISS WORK. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE A COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM (HIV) & MY BODIES ABILITY TO REPAIR AND HEAL IS MUCH LONGER THAN OTHERS. MY MOST RECENT INJURY HAS CAUSE DANGEROUS COMPLICATIONS WITH A HIGH FEVER, LEADING TO A VERY STRESSFUL MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WELL BEING. I THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION THIS TO EVERYONE, ONLY BECAUSE I WAS INDEED, IN NEED OF A COMPASSIONATE CSR, INSTEAD I WAS BRUSHED OFF WITH A CASE NUMBER AND A SUGGESTION TO REPAIR THE HANDLES AND ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE, WOULD BE REIMBURSED. I'VE MADE ATTEMPT AFTER ATTEMPT AND NO ONE WITH CHRYSLER HAS EVER KEPT THEIR WORD TO CALL ME BACK............ WELL, IT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG ( THE VERY NEXT DAY), THAT I SLICED ANOTHER FINGER CAUSING ANOTHER TRAUMATIC ATTACK ON MY NERVOUS SYSTEM, MOSTLY BECAUSE PRESCRIBED BLOOD THINNERS AND BLEEDING WOUNDS ARE VERY FRIGHTENING AND NOT EASY TO CONTROL. I'M AFRAID TO SAY, I FEEL, I'VE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE........... IN MY CASE, HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT MY GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT, BUT TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN. I HOPE THAT MY INFLUENCE CAN PREPARE OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THEIR COMPLAINTS TO BE PATIENT AND STEADFAST IN DOCUMENTING ALL DISCUSSIONS WITH NAMES, DATES AND TIMES. MORE IMPORTANTLY RESEARCH VERY CAREFULLY YOUR NEXT AUTOMOBILE PURCHASE. GREAT MPG ARE NOT THE ONLY NECESSITATES OF BUYING A VEHICLE. BE ABSOLUTELY, SURE THAT YOU CAN TRUST IN THE MANUFACTURER AND THEIR REPUTATION. GOOD DAY ALL, [XXX] FOREST FALLS, CA.
