Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Check engine light came on paid $800 dollars to resolve issues, I am still having problems with check engine light. A few sensors(oil, heating etc) were replaced, o2 sensors were replaced. I was told that it could be the vehicle's computer system. This is creating a very serious headache problem. I tried with numerous car repair shops and they don't seem to pinpoint the problem. They check the codes and their response is it appears that this is whats wrong with it, but there is no warranty, that we can resolve the issues. Issues are happening while driving the vehicle is in motion”
NHTSA complaint #11170054, filed 2019-01, 163,000 miles“While driving, I started hearing some bumping underneath my Compass and a day later it knock and driving rough. I made it to work and immediately call tow. A day after the tow, I received a call from the repair shop and was told that my sub frame had rusted through and broke. I only had the vehicle for two tears and a few months, and still paying for it. I contacted Jeep corp. And was told the was nothing they could do for me. My fidelity warranty states what they cover, but when I contacted them they told me that after five years they deems the bad tie rods as wear & tear. …”
