Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front sub-frame (drivers side) of my daughters car broke. Thankfully she was just pulling up to a stop light leaving a college campus when it broke and not on the highway or moving fast. The piece just snapped. I see there is an issue with some of the 2007 compass where they extended the warranty but it does not apply to our VIN number for some reason. This is a huge safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11171877, filed 2019-01, 140,000 miles“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“I had my vehicle in for regular maintenance and the mechanic informed me the front and rear subframe is rotten and have holes in them. He further stated this is not normal for a vehicle of this age and I should report the problem and call chrysler as this can cause serious problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10714046, filed 2015-05, 91,097 miles“Re:front frame crossmember. These parts were inspected as ok in 2014 by dealer per the chrysler warranty extension letter about frame rot. In july 2018 rot and deterioration discovered by owner that would have been there prior to the warranty extension expiration in july 2017. The warranty extension period was too short and chrysler should have had the vehicles re-inspected for deterioration throughout the warranty period. I am wanting a fair resolution to a now dangerous situation with my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11121226, filed 2018-08, 268,000 miles“2007 Jeep compass lower ball joint failure at 53,654 miles. Completely unacceptable. Took my Jeep in for routine maintenance and found my drivers lower ball joint very close to separating. Not only that but the vertical lower control arm bushing was separated from the arm !! Only reason there was not damage to my vehicle or my life was I had my compass serviced early for the 60k service.”
