While driving about 40mph the car violently changed lanes with no warning. Luckily no cars were near and i was able to bring the car back under control. I have experienced loose steering before but never to this extreme. I am scared to drive car fearing for safety of myself and passengers. I have read up about these cars and all the problems they have of which I have experienced quite a few myself. I was told the car needed extensive repair to the front end and that there was extensive corrosion to many parts on the under carriage.

IN MY FAMILY WE OWN A 2007 JEEP COMPASS WHICH WE ARE PLEASED TO OWN. HOWEVER, LAST YEAR (2018) WE FOUND THAT IT WAS SPITTING GASOLINE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AFTER WE FINISHED PUMPING IT. IT LOOKED LIKE THE CAR WAS PUMPING THE GAS BACK TO US WITHOUT WE EVEN TURNING THE CAR ON. AT THE BEGINNING I COULD NOT PUMP ENOUGH GASOLINE INTO THE FUEL TANK. IT STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY AND SPIT THE FUEL OUT, WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND QUANTITY TO FILL THE CAP COMPARTMENT AND NOTABLY REACHING THE FLOOR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THREE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY CHANGED A COUPLE OF PARTS AND PARTIALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY 2019. PARTIALLY BECAUSE WHEN WE FILLED THE TANK FULL, IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF FUELING. HOWEVER, IN JUNE 2019, WE FOUND THAT THE CAR WAS AGAIN SPITTING GAS OUT WHEN WE FILL THE TANK TO FULL. AGAIN, WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND QUANTITY TO FILL THE CAP COMPARTMENT AND NOTABLY REACHING THE FLOOR. THEREFORE, WE DECIDED TO MAKE THIS SAFETY COMPLAIN BECAUSE NOT ONLY MY FAMILY IS IN HIGH DANGER BUT ALSO EVERY PERSON AT A GAS STATION WHERE WE FILL WITH GASOLINE. MOREOVER, IT IS CONCERNING THAT A CAR DEVELOPS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BY ITSELF AND JEEP DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A DEFINED SOLUTION FOR THIS MATTER.

INSPECTION AFTER CLUNKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE REVEALED SEVERE ROT AND CORROSION OF THE SUBFRAME WITH THE MOUNTING FOR THE ANTI-ROLL BAR COMPLETED BROKEN AWAY FROM THE SUBFRAME. ALSO SEVERE CORROSION AROUND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM MOUNTING APPEARED TO BE CLOSE TO THE FAILURE POINT. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. FOUND FCA INTERNAL WARRANTY DOCUMENT ID-14-02 FOR THE SUBFRAME CORROSION ISSUE DATED 5/19/14 WHICH REFERS TO FCA SERVICE BULLETIN 23-012-14 AND STATES THAT ALL DEALER PERSONNEL ARE TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS BULLETIN. I HAVE A RECEIPT FOR OTHER REPAIRS FROM AN FCA DEALER DATED 7/28/14, 2 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY BULLETIN DATE AND THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION GIVEN ABOUT THE INSPECTION MANDATED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND NOTHING NOTED ON THE RECEIPT. THUS THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS WARANTY AND SAFETY ISSUE WHICH I AM NOW TOLD HAS EXPIRED FOR MY VEHICLE. PER DEALER INSTRUCTION, I CALLED FCA CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS ALSO TOLD THE WARRANTY FOR MY VEHICLE HAD EXPIRED AND MY ONLY CHOICE WAS TO PAY FOR REPAIRS MYSELF. IN SCROLLING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS ALREADY NOTED IN THE NHTSA SITE, I SEE NUMEROUS MENTIONS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY INDICATING COMPLETE SUBFRAME AND SUSPENSION FAILURE WITH INJURY ONLY BEING PREVENTED BY THE SLOW OPERATING SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHERE IMPROPER MATERIALS AND/OR COATINGS WERE USED BY FCA ON THESE COMPONENTS. FOR REFERENCE MY 1998 DODGE NEON HAS NO SUCH PROBLEM AFTER 21 YEARS AS IT USED GALVANIZED COATING ON THIS CRITICAL COMPONENT. FCA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND PAY ALL ASSOCIATED COSTS FOR THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE AND BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURIES RESULTING FROM THESE FAILURES.

THIS JEEP COMPASS WAS PURCHASED FOR OUR COLLEGE AGE DAUGHTER IN MARCH 2019, TODAY WHILE DRIVING, HER REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL MADE A LOUD NOISE THEN FELT LIKE IT 'DROPPED' AND UPON GETTING STOPPED, SHE DIDN'T WRECK THANK GOD, AS SHE WAS PULLING INTO OUR DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT HER REAR CROSSMEMBER HAD RUSTED INTO. I SEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD AT ONE TIME BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PART DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST FROM THE SALT BELT STATES. WE ARE IN KY BUT WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT WAS TITLED IN MICHIGAN, WHICH IS MOST DEFINITELY IN THAT SALT BELT. I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETED BY THE FORMER OWNER BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO BE IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE HAD NO INFORMATION ABOUT ANY RECALL THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ISSUED.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL, THE JEEP WILL BEGIN TO STUTTER AND THE ENGINE WILL DIE. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY BUT OTHER TIMES IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES AND WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AFTER THE INTIAL STUTTERING AND DYING, THE CAR RUNS FINE AFTER RESTARTING BUT THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY FUEL FILL-UP.
