“I have had this Jeep for little over a year and have had to replace the fuel pump, the drive chain, front control arms and now I am told that the subframe is rusted and apparently cracked as it makes awfully load noises in the back. I have contacted a Jeep dealer to ck on the replacement of the subframe. I agree, do not buy a Jeep.”
NHTSA complaint #11032327, filed 2017-10, 110,000 miles“Every time I fuel up vehicle it stalls leaving the gas station. Usually only a few hundred feet , it shuts down , I have to quickly put it into park and restart the engine. I now only put in 8 gals when its low on the gauge. Since then it wont stall. The car was accelerating leaving the station stopping in front of coming traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #10992907, filed 2017-06, 91,600 miles“I bought the Jeep compass around july or aug. No sooner then I bought it it would jerk when I would take off. Then my rpms would rev up. Lile its not shifting the rifht way. Also my Jeep has a hard time going up hill. I don't feel like my Jeep is safe and it scares me. Also my engine light came on today.”
NHTSA complaint #11153948, filed 2018-11, 105 miles“After filling the fuel tank on my Jeep compass, it goes about two miles then it stalls..... After some research this a common problem on these.... I don't understand why no safety recall... Someone is going get hurt.... The vehicle loses all power and stalls out.”
NHTSA complaint #10967056, filed 2017-03, 145,000 miles“Fuel tank--Jeep dealer says my entire fuel tank needs to be replaced. The tank only allows a tiny amount of fuel to go in when pumping gas. This is my first time being a Jeep owner and it seems ridiculous to have to replace such a major part.”
