NHTSA complaint #11153948, filed 2018-11, 105 miles“I have an 07 Jeep compass. I have owned it for 5 years and I have a major saftey issues. Gas light came on so I filled up. Got a few yards from the pump and it stalled. No check engine light or anything came on. Was able to pull into a parking spot. Every time I turn the car on it sputters a bit then runs. After about a minute or two of idling it stalls. Tried letting it idle and revving the engine. My car stopped in everywhere in roads, highways, and thanks god I didn't get into any accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11066914, filed 2018-02, 120,000 miles“Today while leaving a drive thru my car stalled and then went back to normal, I pulled into a parking space 20 seconds after leaving the drive thru window and put my foot on the break. About 5 seconds after that my car had just died. I put it in park, and turned it back on and it started up with no issues and I drove home with no issues (about 20 miles from my home). This however is not the first tie but the third time in less then a month of owning it. The first two times happened after I filled my car up completely with fuel. Today my car was between one quarter and half tank. …”
NHTSA complaint #11110366, filed 2018-07, 156,200 miles“Leaks water through dome light while driving.

This is not only a fire hazard as it's coming through an electric port dripping on my radio but also just a hazard when driving and surprised with water pouring out of the light. Has been consistently getting worse for years now, started with the occasional drip.”
NHTSA complaint #11185567, filed 2019-03“I have a 2007 Jeep COMPASS 4X4. Shortly after purchasing it I started to hear a thumping noise in my front end when turning. I also heard a creaking noise whenever going over any bumps or hitting any potholes. The noise was consistent for awhile and then went away. Last year I had a tire blow out while driving. The left front tire blew out and upon looking at the tire- there was very obvious uneven tire wear. I looked at the right tire and it looked exactly like the left tire so we quickly had both front tires replaced with new ones. …”
