“I just recently failed inspection on my 2009 Jeep compass 4 x 4 for rusted cross members. The cross member in the front is rusted to the point it has through holes in it. The rear cross member is not as severe but is also heavily rusted.”
NHTSA complaint #10851527, filed 2016-03, 72,000 miles“The front subframe is completely rusted out. Had to have vehicle towed home because the front wheels look like a bow-legged cowboy because the subframe basically snapped as we were driving. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue and Jeep refuses to recall this. 2007 had the same issue and they extended a warranty to get this fixed. 2009 is made, obviously with the same junk metal, and yet they refuse to fix their incompetence. Wonder how many people have died due to this negligence. Not happy Jeep.”
