2017 Jeep Compass Suspension Problems

“On 11/23/20 I was at quirk chrysler Jeep dealer getting an oil change and I was informed that both front lower control arms needed to be replaced the vehicle has only 33,906 miles. 2018 Jeep Compass vehicles were recalled for this same issue. This is a safety issue to have these parts fail prematurely.”

“While driving I got a code on the car dash that read something like 'unable to drive' then as turning the bend in road at 20/25mph the car started pulling to left steering the wheel became too hard and I heard a snap noise turns out my ball joint snapped on the Jeep! Over 5000 in damage and it was not due to impact! It snapped clean off then ended up causing my to swop a parked car. Thankfully wasn't on highway your 2017 compasses have severe electrical issues the car doesn't go right away when shifted to desired gear and on top of it all your ball joints are faulty! …”

“My Jeep compas was built 8-2016 and is making a extremely loud grinding noise. I took my vehicle to get looked at and they rotated the tires. They stated the tires are in excellent condition and stated that it maybe the axel or internally because exterior visual inspection everything was fine. I came home and put the car in park and it was still rolling and I put the emergency brake on and that was making a grinding noise also. I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle. I need my vehicle to be added to recall t-26 as I am not going to pay for these repairs upfront. …”

“Engine has excessive oil consumption which causes the vehicle to just stall out. Recommended 5000 oil changes but dealers will say 3000 and to check oil every 2 days because it may need 4-5 qts between oil changes. This started within 5 months of driving it off the showroom floor. Dealer and chrysler corp are aware of issues but no fix has been discovered not do they care. My daughter and her 2 babies were almost killed when it just stalled exiting a major freeway and an 18 wheeler right behind her...case manager (3rd case since 2017) at FCA was 'oh, so scary'. …”

“I am reporting a serious steering/suspension safety problem with my 2017 Jeep Compass. After picking the vehicle up from the dealership following repairs/service, the vehicle was significantly more difficult and frightening to control than before. While driving, the Jeep will suddenly veer toward the shoulder/ditch or toward/over the center line even though I have not intentionally moved the steering wheel in that direction. I have to repeatedly correct the steering to keep the vehicle in my lane. The problem becomes worse and more dangerous as speed increases. …”
