2007 Jeep Compass 4X4 Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“This Jeep compass was purchased for our college age daughter in march 2019, today while driving, her rear driver side wheel made a loud noise then felt like it 'dropped' and upon getting stopped, she didn't wreck thank god, as she was pulling into our drive. Upon inspection it was discovered that her rear crossmember had rusted into. I searched and found that there had at one time been a recall on this particular part due to excessive rust from the salt belt states. We are in ky but when we purchased the vehicle it was titled in michigan, which is most definitely in that salt belt. …”

“I seen that there has been a recall on the same make,model and year for transmission problems...I just purchase the Jeep from a car lot 2/2017 had a 30 day warranty during that time they had to work on 6 times just made my second payment and I can't accelerate after it gets up to 40 first rpms didn't move at all the first time it happened now rmp and going up and won't go down....I feel that it's could be a safety issue cause if I'm on the highway and it happens with no warning someone following close behind me that could ended badly and after looking into the problem looks like it happens…”

“As I wrote in previous comments, I have spent over $11,000 over this period of time. I have replaced the wheel hubs, tie rod ends, the front suspension and all rods concerning the rear. I have replaced the transmission at 98,000 miles costing me $3200. The transmission could not be repaired, the whole transmission had to be replaced. And yes I have 158,000 miles, but if you compare $11,000 just on repairs to this pile of crap. I have complained before, and nothing happens. As I was told there were 14,000 complaints just what I have complained about and still no recalls. …”

“Was dropping daughter off at the bus stop when first noticed that shifting into first gear was difficult. Then it happened again when I was at a stop light, the car would not shift into 1st or 2nd gear, waited and pumped the clutch and it went in. Next day was leaving home and the car would not shift after I stopped at a stop sign, and returned home after the car finally went into gear. Mechanic told us that the slave cylinder was leaking profusely. Our 2007 Jeep COMPASS 4X4 manual transmission only had 38,121 miles. …”

“Cvt transmission started making noise and not shifting at 42000 miles. No accident occurred but since Jeep/dodge service departments are not authorized to perform maintenance on CVT transmissions it had to be replaced. Due to issues with Jeep/dodge a new transmission would have been on backorder for a minimum of 30 days. I was not able to wait that long so I found a low mileage transmission in a salvage yard and had the service department install it. Because I purchased my Jeep approx. 2 weeks before the lifetime powertrain warranty was initiated I had to bear the entire cost.”
