I have owned this vehicle a little over a year now, both front turn signal light covers have fallen off exposing the turn signal light fixtures. Both fell off with in a month apart.
Initially, the low beam headlight on the right stop working. Used high beam for awhile. Tried having bulb replaced. Worked for a short time. No power getting to head lamp.
It was like a ghost took over it scared me to death. My lights started flashing, blinker came on wouldn't go off, wipers were going full speed and the dash where it tells you South, North, East and West stop working. It's something definitely wrong with this car and reading the forums with the same issues should be a recall.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass. After refueling the vehicle and driving at a low speed, the vehicle stalled. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. In addition, the passenger side head lamp failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tipm for the head lamps needed to be replaced. In addition, the front ball joints and struts were corroded and also needed to be replaced. The technician was unable to diagnose why the vehicle stalled. The struts and ball joints were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.
When filled up with fuel, car stalls out and cuts off. I have replaced all of the bearings and car still makes a roaring noise with the axle. Upper control arms are completely damaged. Battery light continues to come on and headlight was replaced but does not stay on. Light stays on indicating vacuum hose issue. 4 wheel drive light stays on.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass. While driving at 65 mph, all the lights on the instrument cluster panel failed to function and the headlights dimmed, which diminished the contact's visibility.

The engine warning light illuminated and fuel cap was displayed on the message board. The windshield wipers also activated independently and the radiator fans continued to function after the key was ejected from the ignition. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 172,000.
