2007 Jeep Compass Body and structure Problems

“My wife says that as she approached a red light on a city street the vehicle had trouble stopping and that it felt like the front wheel was going to come off the car. When I looked at it I noticed a ton of corrosion on the front cross-member and sub-frame and one side had completely split apart.”

“Purchased a 2007 Jeep Compass 2nd hand and found rear subframe and suspension parts is severely rusted . The vehicle clunks and hopps with every bump in the road. If you run over the reflectors while changing lanes vehicle will abruptly jerk in the direction you are going. Took it to Jeep there was a recall for this problem that expired in 2017 I don't think there should be an expiration date for a safety hazard that thousands of jeeps and or dodges have they told me they cant help me.”

“Dec 2015- my car mechanic found rotted out front end sub-frame/ cross member'. He knew about a recall for this issue so I was able to get it fixed. ( impt pls note: chrysler had never reached out to let me know about this- even though when I look up the recall for corrosion it's clearly listed ). Nor did chrysler tell me the rear cross member was also on recall and would likely be needed and should get it done before the sept 2017 end of warranty. Forward to april 2018 - I discover rear cross member sub frame is badly rusted out. …”

“2 weeks ago purchased a 2007 Jeep Compass. Some rattling under neath when driving so took it to a mechanic. They had it hoisted up and found a minor issue. But the mechanic pointed out the front crossmember/subframe was rusted out. He said it needs to be replaced because it is a serious safety issue. Looked online and this is a common problem with Jeep Compass and patriots from 2007 and on. I was quoted $1600 for replacement. I called chrysler/Jeep headquarters and said they were aware of the issue and had an extended warranty but my vehicle is not covered!!!!! …”

“Upon an inspection of the underneath of my 2007 Jeep Compass, it was found that my front sub frame (also known as the k frame) has serious rust issues. There is actually a section on the back side of the sub frame that has rusted out (approx. 1/2 inch by 4 inch in size). After some investigating issues with this vehicle on the internet, I found that this a common problem with this vehicle and that Jeep has not recalled this issue. I will be replacing the part because this is a major safety issue with this vehicle.”
