BROUGHT 2014 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR A SAFETY AND EMISSION INSPECTION. 2014 JEEP COMPASS FAILED EMISSIONS TEST. 21000 MILES. NEW YORK STATE. JEEP CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNWILLINGLY TO PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY INSPECTION IS ONLY GOOD UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY AND THIS MANNER NEEDS TO BE URGENTLY RESOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN I GO TO SPEED UP, MY JEEP SPUTTERS AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL ON ME. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM ABOUT 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY DON'T FEEL IT AND THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

WHILE LOOKING AT VEHICLES ON THE DEALER LOT I NOTICED THIS VEHICLE HAD THE POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE IN CONTACT TO THE DASH PANEL STEEL UPPER CROSS MEMBER. SINCE THE PRESSURE HOSE MOVES WITH THE ENGINE IT CAN WEAR A HOLE IN THE HOSE AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE STEERING ASSIST AND SPRAY FLUID ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH WAS CLOSE BY. THIS WAS AN ISSUE I DISCOVERED IN AUGUST OF 2014 WHILE WORKING AT FCA AND I TOLD THE COMPANY THIS ISSUE WAS A DESIGN SAFETY VIOLATION OF FCA OUT STANDARDS. I WAS IGNORED. SOME VEHICLES WHICH HAD NOT BEEN SHIPPED YET WERE KNOWINGLY SHIPPED WITH THIS UNACCEPTABLE HOSE CLEARANCE CONDITION.

MY JEEP IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE ESC TURNS OFF/ON OWN ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. NOW A FEW MONTHS LATER IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN, AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON WHEN I USE THE LEFT/RIGHT TURN SIGNALS, TURN THE HEADLIGHTS ON, AND SOMETIMES JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER STATED TO MY HUSBAND THAT ITS NOT SAFE FOR THE VEHICLE DO THIS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DISPLAY AN ERROR CODE, AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THESE ISSUES. VEHICLE ALSO MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND THE STEERING FEELS VERY VAGUE AND BOUNCY. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN RANDOMLY DURING BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. MY JEEP IS A 2014 COMPASS, FWD, 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK THIS TIME. THE ESC ISSUE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS WELL AS, THE WIPERS. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MAKES ME WONDER IF THE AIRBAGS, ABS, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC. ARE AT RISK OF FAILURE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

EVERY TIME WE BACK UP THERE IS A LOUD NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE BRAKES. MORE THAN 5 TIMES, MY WIFE HAS ASKED THE JEEP DEALER TO FIX IT OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. THEY SAY THE SAME THING EVERY TIME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE WAY THE BRAKES WORK ON THIS JEEP MODEL. WE ARE FRUSTRATED TO HEAR THIS NOISE WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT.

BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING FROM DAY ONE ,TOOK TO DEALER ON 03-23-15,THEY REPLACE PADS AND TURNED ROTORS ALSO DID THE SAME WITH REAR BRAKES .FEW WEEKS LATER DOING SAME THING AND STILL GETTING LOUDER. THIS OCCUR WHEN BACKING OUT PARKING PLACE

I WAS SLOWLY PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF LOCAL PHARMACY. AS I WAS ABOUT TO PUT THE SUV INTO PARK THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN JUMPED TWO CURBSTONES AND WENT ACROSS THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE STORE AND THEN HIT A PARKED TOYOTA SUV AND PUSHED THE VEHICLE BACK FOUR FEET AND THEN FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. *TR

WATER WAS LEAKING FROM REAR HATCH ONTO INSIDE OF ROOF OF CAR. THIS IS SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP COMPASS. I AM 3000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY AND AM NEWLY DIVORCED WITH LIMITED FUNDS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS ONGOING!! THE ROOF OF MY CAR IS STAINED AND NOW I AM HOPING IT DOESN'T SMELL?? I NEED HELP. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR HOPING IT WOULD BE A GREAT CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I AND NOW AM SECOND GUESSING MYSELF. *TR

3RD TIMES A CHARM 2014 JEEP COMPASS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME IN JULY OR AUG (4 MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE CAR) AND I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT, WHILE PARKING AND HITTING THE BRAKE MY CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF NOWHERE. I THOUGHT I HAD HIT THE ACCELERATOR BY MISTAKE. THANK GOD THERE WAS A CEMENT THING ON THE FLOOR 2ND TIME: MY SISTER AND I AROUND THE HOLIDAYS, WE WERE IN MY JEEP COMPASS, ALSO PARKING AT THE LOCAL MALL THIS IS WHERE I KNEW IT WASN'T ME BUT AGAIN THERE WAS A CEMENT BARRICADE AND PREVENT ANYTHING BAD FROM HAPPENING, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE NOW TODAY AGAIN THIS HAPPENED WHILE PARKING AND STEPPING ON THE BREAK OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR ACCELERATED THIS TIME NOTHING ON THE FLOOR AND RAN INTO A POST. BAM!! MY CARS HOOD IS ALL MESSED-UP AND SO IS THE BUMPER!! HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR? IDK WHAT TO DO!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. IT WAS SNOWING ICE. I HAVE LIVED IN COLORADO MY WHOLE LIFE AND BEEN DRIVING IN THE SNOW SINCE I WAS 16. MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I HAD RECEIVED IT AND THERE WAS NO WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CAR. IT HAD TAKEN ME ABOUT TWICE AS LONG TO DRIVE HOME BECAUSE I HAD BEEN DRIVING SO SLOW. ONCE I HAD ENTERED MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I TOOK A TURN, THEN ANOTHER IMMEDIATE TURN GOING ABOUT 3 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS. MY TURN WAS SLOW AND WIDE AND I HIT A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AND BEGAN TO GLIDE TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ABOUT 15 FEET BUMPING INTO THE CURB. MY ENTIRE FRONT DRIVER-SIDE AXEL HAD COMPLETELY SNAPPED AND MY REAR AXEL HAD BENT. BOTH TIRES WERE COMPLETELY INTACT AND THE WHEELS WERE NOT EFFECTED AS WELL. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAD BASICALLY BEEN COMPLETE SNAPPED AND TORN OUT OF THE SOCKET. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS EQUIPMENT TO COLLAPSE AND FAIL AT SUCH A LOW SPEED IMPACT. I HAD ALSO BEEN DENIED AND INSPECTION FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM AND HAD IT TOWED TO. THEY HAD ALSO NEGLECTED TO REPORT IT TO THE MANUFACTURER UPON OUR REQUEST, LEAVING ME TO REPORT IT FOR THEM. THE DEALERSHIP THEN THREATENED TO MOVE THE CAR AFTER THE JEEP CORPORATION ORDERED THEM NOT TO. THE JEEP CORPORATION HAD ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE AS SOON AS THEY COULD, POSSIBLE THIS WEEK OF 01/12/2015. I AM REQUESTING NOTIFICATION IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AN HOUR IN A PARKING LOT AND MY ENGINE STALLED AND BEGAN TO SMOKE. I REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FIRST AND NO ONE WOULD RETURN MY CAR. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL RECALL THAT IMPACTS MY VEHICLE WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE HIJACKING OF THE VEHICLE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM/BLUE TOOTH. I CANNOT GET RESOLUTION FROM THE DEALERSHIP. STATE LINE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER #45636/45636

2014 JEEP COMPASS. VEHICLE HAS RUST STAINS ON IT AND CUSTOMER FEELS THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE PAID FOR UNDER WARRANTY. *TA

DEER RAN INTO PASSENGER FRONT SIDE OF CAR. CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

SQUEAKY BRAKES AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. WHEN I HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED, THE CAR DOWN SHIFTS AND THEN ACCELERATES IS THE BEST DESCRIPTION I CAN GIVE. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR 3 TIMES TO THE DEALER AND NOW IT IS GOING ON THE 4TH TIME TO FIX A SQUEAKY SOUND. I AM TIRED OF RETURNING. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND BY THE WAY AFTER 4 TIMES I DO BELIEVE IT IS CONSIDERED A NEW CAR LEMON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. DROVE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND DISENGAGED CAR ENGINE, RESTARTED VEHICLE LIGHT STAYED ON. CONTACTED MECHANIC AND SUGGESTED TO TAKE TO DEALER. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER PURCHASED FROM (LESS THAN 90 DAYS PRIOR) THEY INDICATED ONE IF THE SIDE AIRBAGS IS BROKEN, NEEDS ANEW "SKIRT ASS'Y" AND IT DISABLES ALL AIRBAGS FOR SAFETY. HOW IS DISABLING AIRBAGS HELPING MY SAFETY? WHILE I CAN UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO DRAW A LINE FOR WARRANTIES, MY VEHICLE IS 1400 OUT OF THE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THE AIR BAGS ARE NOT A PART THAT GETS USED. IT'S GOING TO BE OVER $900 TO REPAIR. WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD? OF WHICH HAD AIRBAG RECALLS IN THE RECENT PAST. *TR

THE DEALER SIMPLY INSISTS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

I KEPT HEARING A SQUEAKY NOISE THAT I COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE IT CAME FROM WHEN I WOULD PULL OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DUTCHESS JEEP DEALER AND CALLED A FEW TIMES ALSO TO REPORT BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING.

TOOK CAR BACK AND THE DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE WEATHER STRIPPING ON ALL FOUR DOORS. TOOK CAR BACK FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER SAID THREE OF FOUR WINDOWS LOOKED O.K. HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW THE FOURTH ONE COULD BE FIXED AS HE DIDN'T THINK ADHESIVE COULD BE PUT ON ADHESIVE, AND HE'D CALL ME THE NEXT DAY TO TELL ME WHAT CAN BE DONE. NONE OF THE OTHER WINDOWS HAVE ADHESIVE. AS OF THE NEXT DAY THE WEATHER STRIPPING IS COMING OFF, BUCKLING, ETC. ON ALL FOUR DOORS AGAIN EVEN THE ONE WITH SOME ADHESIVE ON IT.

I BOUGHT MY CAR 2/5/14, BRAND SPANKING NEW (ONLY 35 MILES ON IT). I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AT NIGHT FAR AWAY FROM MY HOME WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN. AT THIS POINT THE CAR HAS ABOUT 365 MILES ON IT. THE CAR JERKED A FEW TIMES BUT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF, LIKE IT WAS SHIFTING BY ITS OWN. CAR DID NOT RPM. IT STOPPED JERKING HOWEVER HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW SECONDS LATER. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAD TO PRESS ON THE GAS FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE THE CAR DECIDED TO MOVE OR EVEN SHIFT INTO A GEAR. CAR WOULD MOVE BUT ONLY IN 1ST GEAR, IT RPM'D ALL THE WAY TO 4. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED THAT THE CAR GOT HOTTER THAN USUAL. ONCE I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK, I IDLED INTO A ANGLE PARKING SPOT AND BY THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE ANYMORE - SOLID ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE I GOT A HOLD OF THE DEALER THEY GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOWING. AS SOON AS THE CAR WAS PUT ON THE FLATBED TOW TRUCK, ALL YOU COULD SEE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT LOOKED LIKE BLOOD, EVERYWHERE. THAT HAPPENED ON 2/12/14. IT IS 2/25/14 - CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING TO BE FIXED, APPARENTLY PARTS ARE NATIONAL BACKORDER AND I AM ANGRY. I HAD MY CAR FOR 8 DAYS; DEALER HAS HAD IT GOING ON 13 DAYS NOW. AT LEAST, THOUGH, I AM THANKFUL IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR WHAT NOT. I COULD HAVE DIED. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SAFE; COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE PURCHASED FROM LARRY H. MILLER CAR SALES, ON FEBRUARY 2ND,2014. A NEW JEEP COMPASS 2014. THE THIRD DAY AFTER PURCHASE I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO REPORT PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. 1: A LOUD NOISE IN THE REAR BRAKES. 2: REAR WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE WENT DOWN BY THEMSELVES WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. 3: FRONT PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THREE TIMES FOR THESE REPAIRS. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS REPAIRED WAS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK. THE WINDOWS GOING DOWN WERE NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE LOUD NOISE IN THE REAR BRAKES WAS CHECKED BY THE TECHNICIANS, THREE TIMES AND THEIR ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM WAS THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT WAS JUST A CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT MODEL (JEEP COMPASS). I ASKED TO BE PUT IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, BECAUSE I AM AND WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE I RECEIVED AND IN THE VEHICLE THAT WAS SOLD TO ME. THE NOISE IN THE REAR BRAKES IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME, AS FAR AS THE DEPENDABILITY AND SAFETY. I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT IS A LEMON. *TR
