2016 Jeep Compass Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN ACCELERATING IN THE CAR THE ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS AND THE CAR JERKS. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAYS AND SIDE STREETS. THE 2016 JEEP COMPASS SAYS IT HAS A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT BUT MY SPECIFIC ONE HAS THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN.

I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE FITS RECALL OF THE CANAM OR POWER TRAIN SENSOR THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. MY ENGINE KEEPS COMING ON. THE CAR BUCKS BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH TRAINMISIION AND AT 87,000 THAT IMPOSSIBLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. YES BELIEVE RECALL FITS MY CAR

ENGINE STALLS/STUTTERS RANDOMLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. ALL OF THE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO STOP. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND NOTIFIED THE POLICE. THE POLICE OFFICER ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE IGNITION, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED AFTER THE FOURTH ATTEMPT AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NORTHTOWN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER (2020 NIAGARA FALLS BLVD, TONAWANDA, NY 14150) BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE IN OVER 20 DAYS AND WAS CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD NOISE WAS PRESENT AROUND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (LEITH CHRYSLER JEEP, LOCATED AT 11049 US HWY 15 501, ABERDEEN, NC) WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

FOUR SEPARATE OCCASSIONS OF SEATBELT LIGHTS AND CHIME COMING ON WHILE ALL OCCUPANTS WERE PROPERLY BELTED IN. DEALER HAS REPLACED ALL COMPONENTS OF THE SEATBELT SYSTEM, AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. NOTHING DONE YET HAS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CURRENTLY HAS THE VEHICLE IN THEIR SHOP UNTIL THEY THINK IT'S REPAIRED AGAIN. IT WENT TO THE SHOP IN OCTOBER AND DECEMBER OF 2016, AGAIN ON THE 13TH OF SEPTEMBER OF 2017 AND THE 21ST OF SEPTEMBER. 4 TIMES.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH IT MISSING, OR MISS FIRING WHILE DRIVING. IVE ALWAYS HEARD THERE WERE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT HAVE NOT HAD SUCCESS IN GETTING IT FIXED UNLESS I FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, AND IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. TO BE SPECIFIC, WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS LIGHTLY IT JUMPS, SOMETIMES PRETTY HARD, IT FEELS LIKE THE GAS ISN'T FIRING WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, IF I PRESS HARDER IT WORKS BETTER THOUGH. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS OR CITY STREETS, MOSTLY UNDER 60 MPH, BUT ALWAYS IN MOTION, BUT IT CAN SHAKE EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT MISSES AND IT WORRIES ME THAT IT CAN BE AFFECTING THE ENGINE IN THE LONG RUN. BUT I NOTICED IT AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM CARITE VERY SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIAMI LAKES JEEP (16600 NW 57TH AVE, MIAMI LAKES, FL 33014, (305) 820-3812), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MORE THAN TEN TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FEW YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT NORMAL SPEED 60 MPH.ON NEW JERSEY PARKWAY SUNDAY AUG. 20 TH 8:45 PM ( NEAR EXIT ISELIN ) WHEN WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE STARTED TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE TO 25 MPH. PUT ON HAZARD FLASHERS SO THAT I COULD WARN OTHER DRIVERS THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN DISTRESS. DASHBOARD SHOWED ENGINE LIGHT WARNING . DROVE ADDITIONAL 2 MILES AND GOT VEHICLE TO NEAREST GAS STATION AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE, CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND FILLED A REPORT. VEHICLE WAS GOING TO BE TOWED BUT IT RESUMED TO RUN AFTER 30 MIN. NORMALLY. VERY BIZARRE!!!!!

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND LETTING IT RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES, WE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, WE NOTICED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH THREE EXTINGUISHERS BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO DO SO. ANOTHER EMPLOYEE CALLED 911 AND THE LOCAL FIRE DPT. PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. CHRYSLER LATER SENT US AN E-MAIL STATING THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THAT THE FIRE WAS A RESULT OF A "MANUFACTURING OR ASSEMBLY ERROR". WE BELIEVE THE DAMAGE IS A RESULT OF A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, CHRYSLER REFUSES TO COVER THE LOSS.

CAR IS NOT ON RECALL LIST BUT IS ACTING THE SAME AS THE RECALL 2016 JEEP COMPASS CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR. KEY NOT WORKING SOMETIMES AND CAR WILL NOT GO PAST 20 . IN SHOP MORE THAN WE HAVE HAD IT.

CPCS:I LEASED A 2016 JEEP COMPASS LAST YEAR. TWO MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP AND WAITED AROUND FOR TWO HOURS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. AFTER CALLING DEALERSHIPS AND THE JEEP HOTLINE INNUMERABLE TIMES, IT APPEARS THAT NO ONE HAS THE ACQUIRED PART. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE COULD STALL WHILE BEING DRIVEN DUE TO THE CAMSHAFT WIRE HARNESS BEING DEFECTIVE. *JS

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONS WHEN A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER & IT IS STILL NOT CORRECTED. I HAVE AN OPEN INVESTIGATION WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE TOO. CORPORATE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH ALL 2016 JEEP COMPASS SEAT BELTS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BUT STILL EXPECT PEOPLE TO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES KNOWING THERE IS A PROBLEM & THEY SAY THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IF A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT THE ALARM WILL GO OFF INDICTING THE SEAT BELT NEEDS TO BE FASTENED WHEN IN FACT IT IS. IT WILL ALSO THINK A PERSON HAS A SEAT BELT ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN THEY REALLY DON'T. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS & EYEWITNESSES. I HAVE QUESTION THE AIRBAG LINKAGE TO THE SEATBELT MALFUNCTIONING IF IT CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL OR MALFUNCTION & CORPORATE IS UNSURE IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.I HAVE ACTUALLY TRIED TO TRADE THE VEHICLE & CANNOT BECAUSE ALL OTHER DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSE TO TAKE IT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE WHICH I BOUGHT MARCH 2016. AFTER I BOUGHT IT I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WITHIN AN HOUR & A HALF AND INFORMED THEM OF THE SEAT BELT ISSUE AND THEY BLEW IT OFF AND HAVE CONTINUED TO BLOW IT OFF UNTIL CORPORATE GOT INVOLVED BUT BOTH SIDES CAN'T FIX OR FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM & WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK ON TRADE AS THEY HAVE ADMITTED IT IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEATBELT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.' I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL ECONOMY AS IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS ADVERTISED AND WHAT IS POSTED ON CORPORATE'S WEBSITE. I HAVE RECEIPTS AND VIDEO TO SHOW AS PROOF. THE DEALER BLOWS THIS OFF TOO & REFUSES TO LOOK INTO IT. CORPORATE HAS NO COMMENT ON THE FUEL ECONOMY. IT'S ADVERTISED TO GET 30 ON THE HIGHWAY & I BARELY GET 24-25. ALL ISSUES WITH THE SEATBELT HAS BEEN WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 15MPH.

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS HAS STALLED OUT TWICE WITHIN APPROXIMATELY A 7-WEEK PERIOD. ONCE IN A PARKING LOT (2/8/2017) AND TODAY (3/29/2017) A STALL-OUT OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. TODAY, I WAS STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN. TRAFFIC WAS BACKED-UP, SO WHEN IT BEGAN TO MOVE, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE TURN, AND THE JEEP STALLED. I PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL, AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED. HOWEVER, THIS WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. BETWEEN THE STALL-OUTS, THE VEHICLE WILL "JERK" PERIODICALLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HAVING TO ACCELERATE. THESE HARD "JERKS" HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND ARE OCCURRING ON A DAILY BASIS. BOTH ISSUES APPEAR TO OCCUR WHEN SPEED IS LOWER AND/OR HAVE TO DECELERATE OR ACCELERATE BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, IF THE VEHICLE HAS SAT OVERNIGHT OR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. NO LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD DURING THESE "JERKS" OR STALL-OUTS. TODAY WILL MAKE THE 4TH TIME WITHIN THE SEVEN-WEEK PERIOD I WILL HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN ONE YEAR. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 11,500 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 (NA) JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN DRIVING IN CIRCLES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A SNOW BANK. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND UNKNOWN REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230. UPDATED 06/02/17*LJ THE SENCOND INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS BACKED OUT AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY PICKED UP SPEED AND BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD INCIDENT , VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AT STOP SIGN. *AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600.

ON 12 JAN 2017 A LADY BACKED INTO MY CAR AT APPROX 35 MPH AND DESTROYED THE PASSENGER DOORS - THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE - THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN INJURIES TO MY SON AND MYSELF. I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING LOT AT THE TIME AND SHE WAS BACKING OUT AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITHOUT LOOKING.

WHEN IT IS RAINING OR WHEN THE SNOW ON MY JEEP BEGINS TO MELT, THE SUNROOF LEAKS. THE SUNROOF CONTROLLS AND OVERHEAD LIGHTS (WHICH IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE SUNROOF) FILLS UP WITH WATER AND LEAK ALL OVER; ON THE DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER, DASHBOARD, ETC. CREATING A DISTRACTION WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V609000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ON DECEMBER 9, 2016 I RENTED A JEEP COMPASS AND ON THAT DAY I HAD A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING IN THE COUNTRY. VERY LOW TRAFFIC AREA. BEFORE APPLYING THE BRAKE, I WAS DRIVING AT A SAFE SPEED FOR THE ROAD CONDITIONS - FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MPH ON FRESH SNOW AND SOME PACKED SNOW OVER A PAVED ROAD BASE. AT ABOUT TWENTY TO TWENTY FIVE FEET BEFORE A STOP SIGN I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE DID NOTHING. THERE WAS CLICKING NOISES AND THE COMPASS SEEMED TO ACCELERATE. I CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKE AS I ROLLED THROUGH THE STOP AREA FOR THE STOP SIGN. THE PAVED ROAD ENDED AT THE STOP SIGN AND TURNED INTO A DIRT ROAD BASE. AT THIS POINT I TURNED THE WHEEL AS THE MOMENTUM CONTINUED. I WAS HOPING THE DIRT ROAD BASE WOULD PROVIDE GRAB FOR THE TURNED FRONT TIRES AND STEER THE COMPASS TO THE DIRECTION OF THE DIRT ROAD. THERE WAS NO GRAB AND THE COMPASS CONTINUED TO DRIVE ACROSS THE DIRT ROAD FOR ABOUT ANOTHER TWENTY FEET AS I CONTINUED TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE FOR ABOUT FORTY-FIVE FEET WHEN I SEE THE TEN FOOT DROP DITCH AHEAD OF ME. THE COMPASS DIDN'T SLOW, EVER. IT SEEMED TO ACCELERATE. IT WOULDN'T BE DIRECTED BY STEERING IT. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. AT THIS POINT I DID ALL THAT I COULD THINK OF TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I LOOKED AT THE DITCH AND KNEW THAT THE SUV AND I WOULD RECEIVE DAMAGE. THE COMPASS ROLLED INTO THE DITCH. WHEN THE SUV FINALLY STOPPED I WAS UP SIDE DOWN. FOR ME TO BEST DESCRIBE THIS JEEP COMPASS IS THAT IT WAS A "TERMINATOR". IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. ONCE I APPLIED THE BRAKE, I HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. *TR

MY 2016 JEEP COMPASS BEGAN STALLING WHILE IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS AS WELL AS STALLING WHILE DRIVING LAST WEEK. I'VE GOOGLED AND I SEE THAT SEVERAL JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I'VE NOT FOUND A RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN, HOWEVER, THERE WAS ONE ISSUED FOR DODGE AND JEEPS MANUFACTURED FROM MAY, 8, 2016 - JULY 12, 2016. CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS NOT MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY, THIS IS MAINLY FOR 2.0 L AND 2.4 L ENGINES. RECALL # S89/NHTSA HOV-907. THIS IS OUTRAGEUOUS! AUTO SHOPS CAN'T SEEM TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE PROPERLY, BUT SOMEHOW THE NHTSA DID! MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP AS I WRITE THIS, I"VE MISSED TWO DAYS OF WORK AND I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SOLD, AND SO-CALLED INSPECTED PRIOR TO BEING SOLD. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED BACK IN JANUARY OF 2017, THE STATEMENT WAS DATED FEBRUARY 2017. I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN JANUARY OF 2018, I AM THE SECOND OWNER, AND NOW, I F EEL AS THOUGH CHRYSLER IS COVERING THIS UP BY NOT ISSUING A TOTAL RECALL ON ALL VINS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO ALL DEALERS, ESPECIALLY PRE-OWNED DEALERS.

I WAS ON A VACATION TRIP AND MY SON WAS DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND HE CRASHED INTO A POLE. MY WIFE AND I THOUGHT THE STEERING WAS ROUGH BUT THOUGHT IT WOULD EASE UP. AFTER THE CAR WAS HIT THE AXEL ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WAS DESTROYED. HE WASN'T MOVING FAST ENOUGH FOR THE AXEL TO GET DAMAGED WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE AXEL WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. NO MY CAR IS STUCK IN A FRIEND'S DRIVEWAY WITH NO WAY OF GETTING IT HOME. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.

SEVERE TIRE WEAR ON JEEP COMPASS ON 05/12/16 I TOOK A RENTAL CAR (JEEP COMPASS, MILEAGE: 10417) IN LAS VEGAS. ON 05/26/16, JUST AS WE HAD PASSED THE MOUNTAIN ROUTES FROM DURANGO TO OURAY, I DISCOVERED BY CHANCE THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT ON THE INSIDE (SEE PHOTOS). I DID NOT DISCOVER IT EARLIER, BECAUSE THE TIRE TREAD WAS O.K. ON THE OUTSIDE AND THE BODY HIDED THE REST OF THE TIRE. THEN I DROVE VERY SLOWLY. SOON AFTER CAME THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE: THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LOST PRESSURE (MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY: 12250). I CHANGED THE WHEEL AND WAS HOPING THAT THE RIGHT TIRE HELD AIR TO THE NEAREST TOWN. WE REACHED THE TOWN WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM. AS I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE TIRE SHOP, THEY TOLD ME, THAT THE TOE WAS COMPLETELY WRONG AND THAT WHEEL ALIGNMENT WOULD BE NECESSARY (SEE ALIGNMENT REPORT). SUMMARY: THE CAUSE OF THIS SYMMETRIC TIRE WEAR IS MYSTERIOUS: THE CAR HAD RELATIVELY FEW MILES AND THERE WAS NO EVENT (SUCH AS AN IMPACT TO THE WHEELS), THAT POSSIBLY COULD HAVE CHANGED THE TOE. NEVERTHELESS I THINK, THE CAR WAS NOT ROADWORTHY AND I'M GLAD I NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAME TO AN ACCIDENT. I SEND THIS REPORT FROM GERMANY. AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FILL IN THIS COUNTRY AND MY TELEPHONE NUMBER, I GIVE YOU THE STATE AND PHONE NUMBER OF THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY.

DON'T KNOW THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY WHEN SOMEONE GETS OUT OF PASSENGER SEAT THE SEATBELT LIGHTBSTSYS ON AND IT STILL CHIMS UNTIL I HOOK THE SEATBELT. I AM GETTING TIRED OF TAKING IT TO THEM

TAKATA RECALL. AT RANDOM MOMENTS WITHOUT HITTING THE WIPPER SWITCH AT ALL THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL COME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SOMETIMES IF I TURN MY BLINKER ON WHICH IS A OPPOSITE STICK THEY WILL ACTIVATE. WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN MY LIGHTS WILL FLICKER VERY BRIEFLY. I HAVE HAD NO KIND OF ALTERATIONS DONE TO THE VEHICLE COSMETIC OR ELECTRICAL SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. AND YES EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS IT'S WHILE THE VIC IS IN MOTION.

AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL DRIVE TO A STORE, WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED VERY SLUGGISHLY, LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN TOP GEAR OR THE ENGINE WASN'T ABLE TO BE REV'ED UP. PUSHING ACCELERATOR TO FLOOR CAUSED ENGINE TO REV UP TO APPROXIMATELY 3500 RPM ONLY, AND RATE OF ACCELERATION DID NOT IMPROVE. TRIED SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS DID NOT RESTORE THE EXPECTED ACCELERATION BEHAVIOR. TRIED TO PUT TRANSMISSION INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE BY MOVING GEAR SHIFT LEFT OR RIGHT, BUT GEAR INDICATOR IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWED THAT TRANSMISSION DID NOT SWITCH INTO MANUAL SHIFT MODE; IT STAYED IN FULL-AUTOMATIC MODE. PULLED OVER AND TURNED ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTARTED ENGINE. EXPECTED ACCELERATION BEHAVIOR RESTORED AFTER RESTARTING ENGINE.

THIS CAR WAS A RENTAL CAR. MY SPOUSE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. HE WAS HIT BY A CAR AND THEN PUSHED INTO ANOTHER CAR. THE JEEP WAS TOTALED BUT YET NOT ONE AIRBAG WAS EVER DEPLOYED. THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SIX AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE BUT NOT ONE EVER DEPLOYED. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED A MINOR HEAD INJURY AS A RESULT.

WHILE AT MILOSCH PALACE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN LAKE ORION I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE WAS CONTACTING THE FRONT SUSPENSION SWAY BAR AT STATIONARY CURB CONDITION. THIS IS A DESIGN VIOLATION WHICH I TOLD FCA ABOUT WHEN I WORKED THERE IN 2014. THE ISSUE HAS EXISTED NOW FROM JULY OF 2014 UNTIL NOW. THE HOSE CAN WEAR A HOLE IN IT DUE TO A 2 INCH RUBBING INTERFERENCE WITH SUSPENSION MOVEMENT AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE STEERING ASSIST AND POWER STEERING FLUID CAN SPRAY IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSING A FIRE.

ALL 4 DOORS CRACK EVERY TIME YOU OPEN OR CLOSE THEM. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE GOT IT AND THEY TESTED MOST OF THE SAME MODELS THEY HAD AND THEY ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

WHEN RUNNING THE AC THE WINDSHIELD INSIDE BECOMES FOOGY AND MAKES OT HARDER TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. CHRYSLER SAYS ITS NORMAL. COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACIDENT.
