This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

front and rearsubframe extremely rusted, making it dangerous to drive. fuse box under front hood in front of driver side rusting out wiring. Not main fuse box but the one with relays.
2009 Jeep Compass manual transmission engine stalling intermittently at highway speed and also at idling. Has happened several times, but usually starts back up after a short period of time. Also, vehicle will intermittently not start, all lights on dash light up, battery is good, nothing wrong with starter. Sometimes it will start within minutes, other times it starts after a day or two... random. Break pedal usually very stiff. Have has it towed to the dealership to only have it start and they could not diagnose the issue.
The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Compass. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and the anti lock braking system, electronic stability program, and traction warning indicators would remain illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs due to the diagnostic fees. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
They (dealers) keep saying my wiring harness needs replace. They replace it once on 7/11/16 cause my radiator fan would not come on and they replace the timp. Now the fan won't turn off even when the key is out. Miles on this is 130,859 I believe there a issue with this wiring harness P/N 68043111ab and the timp P/N rl028007ad check and see how many replacements they put in these models. I went to a junk yard and all the Compass's timp or fuse box had been removed.
Electronic throttle control has severe problem, almost stalling out at highway speed. Iam scared of a 'stall-out" while in traffic that could result in severe injury or death. First severe occurrance was on May 15th,2015. And has been occurring frequently eversince.
