“Parking brake doesn't work and the stability of the vehicle is not good it wobbles around turns and I'm afraid the vehicle will roll one day. This unstable condition will happen on the city highway and city streets while in motion driving. I put on the parking brake and it does not stop the vehicle because I can drive if I forgot I put it on without any problems and I'll hear the beeping go off and put my parking brake on. I feel as if one day to school my vehicle will rock unstable and cause me to wreck even though I am very careful.”
NHTSA complaint #11166062, filed 2019-01, 130,000 miles“Problems after fueling: after filling my vehicle up, without fail, the engine stalls, shuts off, violently jerks and/or decreases speed and then returns to regular driving conditions. I have changed the gas cap, gas stations and octane levels, as well as the amount of gas consumed, all without any resolve. Although I never tip off the gas tank, I will fill the gas tank and I experience erratic behavior without fail. It does not matter if I sit at the gas pump or drive away immediately, the vehicle will enter a distressing routine of jolting, and turning off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11180628, filed 2019-02, 150 miles“While driving at about 35mph my car buck and almost stalled out. It seemed like it lost a little power after that. When I reached a stop sign approximately 1/2 mile down the road and attempted to accelerate, I had no power and could not break 10mph. My electronic throttle control indicator light is now flashing and the esp/tcs light is on steady. The only error code I am getting is for the #1 o2 seor because I damaged it taking it out to eliminate a clogged cadtilac converter. At times it takes 3 seconds for my car to even attempt to start (meaning nothing is happening). …”
NHTSA complaint #10536159, filed 2013-08, 85,500 miles“I bought a 2007 Jeep compass 11 months ago from lithe chevrolet/dodge/Jeep. It had 64,000 miles on it. In the 11 months that I have had the car the rack and pinion and steering pump have had to be replaced twice. At my expense. The ball joints have been replaced. My struts and brand new tires are destroyed. The whole bottom of the vehicle feels like it is going to separate from the frame. I started having these problems within 1 week of owning the vehicle. The dealership would not honor the warranty and would blow it off as me being silly . …”
