1.Electrical: the touch screen, which is used for the radio & backup camera, is completely shot. One day in May, I was driving my car & the screen went from working to a fuzzy image & then to it going completely black. The radio stopped working as well. The lights around the screen (connected to the buttons) work but tend to flicker every now & then. This is a safety risk for myself & my family because I don-??t have the extra support & awareness to backup with confidence or warnings. It hasn-??t been looked at by anyone & there were no warnings prior to failure. It has been a consistent failure since then. 2. Engine: Jeep keeps overheating. Has been since April. It was inspected by a mechanic & also paid to have it -??fixed-?? however the problem persists. It is a safety issue because my car could overheat & stop working & cause issues with other drivers. I also have a 5 yo & we have to drive around with the windows down & heat on no matter the weather. Sometimes we get home & her face is bright red. Sometimes the warning light comes on & the fluid is at the appropriate level. 3. Tire pressure in at least one of my tires is always low. I receive a warning light almost every time I drive. These are brand new tires. After I fill up the tire, it is only -??fixed-?? approx 1 day before the light comes back on. It was checked by mechanic & he stated there were no issues he could find. This has been ongoing since December 2021. This is a safety issue because I could get a flat tire & crash into other vehicles or cause an accident. Jeep is available for inspection upon request for all issues.

Compass

I bought this 2014 Compass in December 2019 the tread on the vehicle's Goodyear Eagle ls 2 tires ( 205/70R/16 looked good but from the moment I bought it I was constantly putting air in both tires on the drivers side. I bought the Compass as is from the dealership so of course they would check them and repair any leaks or whatnot but for a ridiculous price which I cannot afford. I do have a warranty that I bought but covers very little, even have to pay for the gallon of gas if I run out because it only covers the call out to bring me a gallon. Any who, I cannot afford new tires or the amount to have a place to look at them, so I was very anal about checking my tires like a crackhead looking for change on the ground. I woke up one morning to see that my front driver side tire was completely flat so I aired it up at the house and proceeded to check for leaks with the ol soapy H2O and found a small leak on the inside wall of the tire, I checked to see about replacing it and after I finished hyperventilating at the price, which btw was more than my car note, I put fix a flat in it to temporarily fix the issue so that I could save up to replace 1 single tire instead of selling my kidney on the dark web. Welp as soon as I got that done the back tire decided to be a jerk and keep deflating everyday. Got the soapy H2O and found nothing just likes to go flat. I started looking at the tires so that I could see how long it would take me to sell a kidney in order to replace 2 tires now and I noticed that all 4 tires have multiple bubbles on the outside side walls. Took each tire off checking for separation of belts and yep it's not rocket appliance, all 4 tires are bubbling. Yet I'm sure just by seeing the manufacturer's replies( there aren't any) and the fact that I always get the poop end of the stick that I will be selling my kids kidney's too just to buy 4 new tires.

While driving, especially when I go to speed up, my Jeep sputters and almost feels like it's going to stall on me. I've taken it into the dealership that I bought it from about 3 different times. Every time they have told me they don't feel it and they cant find anything wrong with it. I don't know what else to do.

I've had to replace all 4 bearings, the 4 wheel drive went completely out during big snow in 2016, the rutter valve had gone bad(which costs over $400., having to replace alternator, and various other things... this Jeep had been nothing but a pain since I've had it and I bought it new. They are junk and the whole vehicle should be recalled.

Compass 4-cyl

  • 400 miles
I was driving on my way home from work. It was snowing ice. I have lived in Colorado my whole life and been driving in the snow since I was 16. My car was brand new when I had received it and there was no wear and tear on the car. It had taken me about twice as long to drive home because I had been driving so slow. Once I had entered my neighborhood, I took a turn, then another immediate turn going about 3 miles per hour due to road conditions. My turn was slow and wide and I hit a patch of black ice and began to glide to the opposite side of the road, about 15 feet bumping into the curb. My entire front driver-side axel had completely snapped and my rear axel had bent. Both tires were completely intact and the wheels were not effected as well. The front driver side had basically been complete snapped and torn out of the socket. It is unacceptable for this equipment to collapse and fail at such a low speed impact. I had also been denied and inspection from the service manager at the dealership that I had bought it from and had it towed to. They had also neglected to report it to the manufacturer upon our request, leaving me to report it for them. The dealership then threatened to move the car after the Jeep corporation ordered them not to. The Jeep corporation had also stated that they would inspect the vehicle as soon as they could, possible this week of 01/12/2015. I am requesting notification immediately.

Tire low air indicator came on and tire went flat. I looked at tire and refilled with air just above the side wall into the tread on the top side of the tire was three holes up to 1/4 and the side wall had a bubble three inches across just about 3 inches below the three holes. I hit nothing and did not damage the sidewall. The dealer auto nation in spring tx acted like a 3rd grader shrugged his shoulders and said take it to a Firestone dealer.
