2010 Jeep Compass Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED LEFT WITHOUT YIELDING THE RIGHT OF WAY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAR ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO ENGAGE AND ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND BURNS TO THE LEFT ARM, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO A LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER DEEMED DESTROYED. THE WINDSHIELD, PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT, AND DRIVER'S DOOR WERE DAMAGED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN 2017, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL AT THE FARICY BOYS CHRYSLER JEEP (4950 NEW CAR DR, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80923, (855) 846-8666). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *BF *TR

JEEP COMPASS HAS JUST OVER 61,000 MILES, WHEN TURNING TO GO UP MY DRIVEWAY THE CONTROL ARM FELL TO THE GROUND. I HAD TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLE AS THIS WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT LIA JEEP OF NORTHAMPTON REPORTED TO ME THAT I WOULD KEEP CONTINUING HAVING OTHER PROBLEMS WITH UNDERNEATH THE CAR EVEN IF REPAIRED AS IT WAS SO BAD. THIS IS WHY I CHOSE TO GET NEW VEHICLE. METRO JEEP OF CHICOPEE, MA TOOK IS AS A TRADE AND WILL BE TOWED THERE TODAY. 10/4/19 I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED OR I MAY NOT BE TYPING THIS RIGHT NOW.

AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW/USED COMPASS FROM A DEALER IN TOWN I WENT TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP. NOT REALLY A PROBLEM THIS TIME FILLING THE TANK BUT UPON STATING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO STALL SHAKE , SPIT, AND SPUTTER DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ONLY ABOUT A 1/10 OF A MILE. DURING THIS TIME OF STALL THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC . THIS WASNT THE ONLY TIME IT DONE THIS ....NO EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS IT DOES THE SAME THING AND ACTS THE SAME WAY IT STRAIGHTENS UP AFTER RUNNING A FEW MILES (IF IT STAYS RUNNING ) OR RESTARTING THE ENGINE. LATELY IT TAKES ME ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR TO FILL THE TANK BECAUSE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO OVER-SPILL EXCEPT THE TANK IS EMPTY AND IT ISN'T THE PUMP BECAUSE IT DOES THIS AT EVERY GAS STATION I COME TO NOW. THE SAFETY FACTOR HERE IS THE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING LOOSING CONTROL OF WHERE MY CAR IS GOING IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE A HEAD ON...

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP, NO OTHER TIME.I DO NOT OVER FILL.AFTER LEAVING THE GAS PUMP, THE CAR "BUCKS" AND THEN STALLS ONE OR TWO TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AS I TRY TO LEAVE A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR DRIVE IN THE TRAFFIC. CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS. STARTED IN 2017 AND CONTINUES TO TODAY.

THE CAR LEAKS THRU THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS DURING RAIN/STORMS WHICH CAUSES THE WATER TO COME ONTO THE SHIFT CONTROL COLUMN CAUSING MAJOR DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE WATER LEAKAGE ALSO RUNS ALONG THE DRIVER SIDEBAR, AND POOLS ON THE DRIVERS FLOORBOARD AND THE SEAT IMMEDIATELY AFT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN WATER IS POURING OUT OF THE OVERHEAR DOME LIGHTS ONTO THE SHIFTER/DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. RAIN COMES IN BE IT STATIONARY OR DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. WE HAVE REPAIRED/REPLACED THE SUNROOF, NEW WINDSHIELD...NOTHING WORKS. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I DON'T ALLOW ANY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY TO DRIVE IT ANY LONGER.
