VEHICLE STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL. IT STALLS WHILE IDLING IN PARK AND IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN STOPPED WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER ROME ONLINE SEARCHING, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK NOT STOPPING THE CHARCOAL FILTER FROM BEING FLOODED WITH FUEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE MONTH SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT LAST HAPPENED ON 09/10/2020

MY SUBFRAME HAS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. MY LOCAL DEALER INFORMED ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WHICH IS WHY YOU EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT NOBODY INFORMED US ABOUT IT! THE DESIGN OF THIS MODEL IS FLAWED; THE PARTS ARE INFERIOR FOR A SNOWBELT STATE AND TO TOP IT OFF THE EXHAUST FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKS DIRECTLY ON THE FRONT SUBFRAME. 3 SEPARATE MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED; I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR PARTS YOU KNOW ARE NO GOOD. PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE GOING TO STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCTS! WE OWN A COMPANY AND HAVE SEVERAL JEEP VEHICLES BUT IF THIS IS NOT FIXED WE WILL BE TRADING THEM ALL IN AND WILL MOVE TO ANOTHER VENDOR WHO WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND WANTS TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE! EVEN THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THIS WAS RIDICULOUS AND THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON THIS!

BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR A FRONT END NOISE. MECHANIC DETERMINED MY FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBER ESPECIALLY THE FRONT WERE ROTTED OUT WITH HOLES. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CAR COMPANY DATED 2/15/2017 THAT CAR WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR TEN YEARS. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT IDENTIFIED UNTIL 2019 I WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 12/2018. CAR CO. SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, QUITE A SAFETY ISSUE WE ARE LEFT TO SUCK IT UP. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS TO LIGHT. I FEEL THE COMPANY IS GETTING AWAY WITH A DANGEROUS EXPENSIVE OOPS.

I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE CROSSMEMBER ON MY 2008 JEEP COMPASS IN THE FRONT DUE TO CORROSION CAUSING STEERING ISSUES WHEN TURNING (LOUD CLUNK SOUND). THE COST IS EXPENSIVE AND I MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR CROSSMEMBER AS WELL. I WAS ALSO UNAWARE OF THIS RECALL AND NEVER CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO COME IN FOR REPLACEMENT.

OUR 2008 JEEP COMPASS HAS A CLUNKING NOISE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE NEAR THE FRONT WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING THE WHEEL. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THE SUBFRAME IS HEAVILY CORRODED AND IS RUSTING OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND WAS COVERED UNDER AN 'EXTENDED WARRANTY' BULLETIN THAT WE WERE NOT TOLD ABOUT AND NOW THAT HAS EXPIRED AND IT IS NOT COVERED ANYMORE. I WAS TOLD THE BULLETIN EXPIRED 9/2017 SO NOW 1 YEAR AND 7 MONTHS LATER MY VEHICLE WITH ONLY 112K MILES IS GOING TO NEED AN EXPENSIVE FIX OR BASICALLY BE JUNKED. THE 2007 VEHICLES HAD A RECALL AND EVEN THOUGH MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2007 THERE IS NO RECOURSE AVAILABLE.

I RECENTLY DISCOVERED WHEN BRINGING MY 2008 JEEP COMPASS TO A MECHANIC THAT MY ENTIRE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. THE SUBFRAME IS SO ROTTED OUT THAT HE SUGGESTED GETTING IT TOWED HOME BECAUSE THE WHEEL MIGHT COMPLETELY FALL OFF IF I HIT A POT HOLE HARD ENOUGH. THE BODY ON MY JEEP IS NEARLY FLAWLESS AND THE ENGINE ONLY HAS 70,000 ORIGINAL MILES. IS SEE ON OTHER SITES THERE IS A RECALL ON ALL THE COMPASS MODELS LEADING UP TO THE 2007 MODEL DUE TO THE SUBFRAME ROTTING OUT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD WITH THE 2008 MODEL LEAVING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY WORTHLESS BEING THAT IT'S TOTALLED. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE SUBFRAME TO BE COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT BUT MY ACTUAL FRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE? I'D REALLY LIKE SOME ANSWERS.

SUB FRAME RUSTED OUT MAKING THE CAR NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT WOULD COST $1700 FOR REPAIR. NO NOTICE WAS SENT OUT TO OWNERS; ONLY MECHANICS. NO PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF PROBLEM. CAR WAS DRIVEN BY MY 82 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN LAW. I AM HER SON IN LAW AND I WAS DRIVING HER CAR TO TAKE HER TO AN APPOINTMENT; AND SUDDENLY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE, GOING TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, AND WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. SUB FRAME RUST. MY MECHANIC KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM FROM JEEP, BUT RESEARCHING IT ONLINE CONFIRMED WHAT HE TOLD ME. JEEP KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT DID NOT RECALL THE CAR; JUST SENT NOTIFICATIONS TO MECHANICS, NOT THE OWNERS. MY MOTHER IN LAW HAD THE CAR INSPECTED IN JULY 2018 BY HER MECHANIC. VIN NUMBER INDICATED EXTENDED WARRANTY ON FRAME EXPIRED SEPT 2018. PROBLEM HAPPENED IN DEC. 2018. I CONFIRMED ALL THE ABOVE WITH LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. WE APPROACHED MY MOTHER IN LAWS MECHANIC AND HE ADMITTED KNOWING OF THE PROBLEM, BUT APPARENTLY MISSED IT IN INSPECTION OR CHOSE NOT TO TELL HER. THE CAR WAS WELL CARED FOR. OIL CHANGES ETC...79,000 MILES NEAR PERFECT BODY AND NOW I'M TOLD IT'S JUNK--AND ONLY WORTH $200! I CALLED JEEP CORP OFFICE 877-426-5337 TO MAKE A PLEA TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED SO MY MOTHER IN LAW COULD RESELL. LIVING IN A GOVERNMENT ASSISTED SENIOR APARTMENT, SHE THOUGHT HER CAR WAS AN ASSET OR INVESTMENT SHE COULD SOMEDAY RELY ON FOR A LITTLE EXTRA; BUT NOT ITS BEEN REDUCED TO A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS. NOT TO MENTION--SHE COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR COULD HAVE FALLEN APART AND SHE COULD HAVE HURT HERSELF AND OTHERS. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED

WHILE IN MOTION, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD IN REAR END. INDEPENDENT GARAGE (ZELLER AUTO CENTER,616 MAIN ST., TORRINTON, CT. 06790, 860-489-0204) DIAGNOSED A RUSTED AND ROTTED REAR SUBFRAME. INTERNET CHECK REVEALED OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBEM. JEEP ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE FOR 10 YEARS FROM PRODUCTION DATE. NO NOTICE TO VEHICLE OWNERS! CONTACTED JEEP (CASE #57633304) AND THEY ADVISED THAT EXTENDED WARRANTEE FOR THIS CAR EXPIRED ON 12/28/17 AND THEY WOULD NOT MAKE AN EXTENSION. THEY STATED THAT A RECALL WAS NOT NEEDED WHEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE WAS ISSUED. I THINK A RECALL IS NEEDED SO THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE CAN BE WARNED OF THE RUSTING SUBFRAME PROBLEM BEFORE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES OCCUR.

IN AUGUST 2018, I WAS INFORMED BY A REPUTABLE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT DID WORK ON MY VEHICLE LESS THAN A MONTH PRIOR, "TURNED OFF" THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WENT BACK TO THAT MECHANIC AND THEY ADVISED THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO, BECAUSE ITS ALL IN ONE PANEL. ON 11/11/18, ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO GET REPLACEMENT BULBS, BUT THEY ADVISED THAT THIS WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I SHOULD GO TO A MECHANIC. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A 2008 JEEP COMPASS INCLUDING SUSPENSION WORK AND OTHER MAINTENANCE. I WAS JUST INFORMED ON 11/15/18 THAT THE TIPM IS OUT CAUSING THE ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO NOT WORK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A DEALER ONLY PROBLEM AND COULD COST ME UP TO $2000. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FIND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER IN 2015. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN. IN FACT, ALL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2008 JEEP COMPASS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN ALL LAWSUITS. I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY ANYONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOW THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE SAFETY ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED.

CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IN JUNE: SAFETY RECALL L27 / NHTSA 12V-085 REAR SUSPENSION LOWER CONTROL ARMS. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER AND I'VE TRIED TO HAVE IT FIXED BY 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS. NONE OF THEM HAVE THE PART, THEY ALL ORDERED THE PART, THEY ALL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART. CHRYSLER'S NUMBER FOR THE RECALL IS U42. DEALERSHIPS IN SOUTH FLORIDA CONTACTED: JOEY ACCARDI, ARRIGO, AND, WORST OF THEM ALL, SCHUMACHER. I AM DRIVING AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE?? RIDICULOUS. BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE MUCH ABOUT IT. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER ISSUE A RECALL AND NOT HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE? I HAVE CUT BACK MY DRIVING, IN FEAR, BUT I HAVE TO USE THE CAR SOMETIMES. IT'S BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS NOW AND NO HOPE IS IN SIGHT. I CALL EVERY WEEK TO CHECK IF THE PART HAS ARRIVED.ARRIGO IS THE ONE I AM CONCENTRATING ON, AS THEY AT LEAST KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL AND WERE WILLING TO ORDER THE PART. WHAT GOOD IS BEING ADVISED OF A RECALL WHEN YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT??
