problem #3

May 282018

Compass 4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The same thing everyone else has mentioned in their issues. I bought the car on 5/28, upon driving it home it started to buck and shutter going 20-30 then at a faster speed 50-65. I called the dealership I purchased it from and they came the next morning to fix it and changed a few things on it and said it wasn't the transmission. here we are about 3 weeks later and it's going the same thing and now stalling on the highway and not driving at all. I bought this car for $8000.00 that I am not out of for my daughter as her first car. If there are these many issues why are these dangerous cars still on the road today?! This is unacceptable. I don't have a warranty on this car, so I have to suck up $8000.00 I gave this dealership...What do I do?

Compass

  • Automatic transmission
  • 93,000 miles

Started 2 weeks after I bought it (used). Now it appears to occur daily and multiple times a day. My guess is to check the spark plugs and wires, since I don't know the last time it had a tune up. But it's on an extended warranty, so I want be sure of what I'm looking at.

Compass Latitude 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,500 miles

Goldstein in Latham NY is the dealer I bought it from, returned to service the assistant service manager says there is a problem but after contacting chrysler they don't know how or what to fix, but it is a safety concern. The service manager himself who has never even seen the vehicle let alone driven it says its a 4 cyl and its sluggish. I contacted chrysler I have to bring it to another dealer for them to look at and see what happens, so far a complete run around and I will never buy from http://www.goldsteinchryslerjeep.net/index.htm

ever again
