2010 Jeep Compass Problems

The brake and ABS are on. Also there is a lightning bolt that appears on the cluster. The honk does not want to work as well and it is associated with the airbag since its installed with it in the center of the steering wheel.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AND IT CHIMES.

The contact's son-in-law owns a 2010 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an oil change and tire rotation, the mechanic informed him that the rear subframe was cracked. The mechanic advised the contact's son-in-law to not drive the vehicle until the rear subframe was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

MY 2010 JEEP COMPASS WAS TAKEN IN FOR AN INSPECTION TODAY. IT FAILED FOR LOWER FRONT SUBFRAME BEING TOTALLY RUSTED OUT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND VERY UNSAFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED LEFT WITHOUT YIELDING THE RIGHT OF WAY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REAR ENDED THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO ENGAGE AND ALL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND BURNS TO THE LEFT ARM, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO A LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER DEEMED DESTROYED. THE WINDSHIELD, PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT, AND DRIVER'S DOOR WERE DAMAGED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN 2017, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL AT THE FARICY BOYS CHRYSLER JEEP (4950 NEW CAR DR, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80923, (855) 846-8666). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *BF *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. THE CONTACT CALLED LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM ALBUQUERQUE (8528 LOMAS BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87710, 505-404-0108). THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIMEFRAME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TT *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP UP IT STARTS JERKING THEN COMPLETELY QUITS. I RESTART MY JEEP AND START TO PULL OUT ONTO THE STREET AND/OR HIGHWAY IT STILL JERKS FOR THE FIRST FEW SECONDS THEN QUITS. I HAD A ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND HAD TO REPLACE THE CANISTER COSTING ME $248.00 NOT COUNTING LABOR COST. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUES FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS TO DATE, THE JERKING AND SHUTTING OFF OF MY JEEP

AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW/USED COMPASS FROM A DEALER IN TOWN I WENT TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP. NOT REALLY A PROBLEM THIS TIME FILLING THE TANK BUT UPON STATING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO STALL SHAKE , SPIT, AND SPUTTER DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ONLY ABOUT A 1/10 OF A MILE. DURING THIS TIME OF STALL THE STEERING BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC . THIS WASNT THE ONLY TIME IT DONE THIS ....NO EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS IT DOES THE SAME THING AND ACTS THE SAME WAY IT STRAIGHTENS UP AFTER RUNNING A FEW MILES (IF IT STAYS RUNNING ) OR RESTARTING THE ENGINE. LATELY IT TAKES ME ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR TO FILL THE TANK BECAUSE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO OVER-SPILL EXCEPT THE TANK IS EMPTY AND IT ISN'T THE PUMP BECAUSE IT DOES THIS AT EVERY GAS STATION I COME TO NOW. THE SAFETY FACTOR HERE IS THE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION WITHOUT WARNING LOOSING CONTROL OF WHERE MY CAR IS GOING IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE A HEAD ON COLLISION

my front and rear sub-frame rotted out, making my vehicle dangerous to drive for me my family and other passengers that ride in my vehicle,it is also a danger to other vehicles and persons on the road. Chrysler knows of this problem with 2010 jeep compass but has never issued a safety recall, it seems only fair that Chrysler should held responsible to recall this vehicle since they used cheap parts knowing they would not hold up in states with heavy winters and the use of salt on roadways.

PURCHASED IN 2017, 4 MONTHS LATER PUT CLOSE TO $4000.00 IN SUSPENSION AND FUEL FILLER TUBE DUE TO EXTREME RUSTING. NOW ON APRIL 15, 2019 TOOK IT IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS WRITTEN ON PAPER BUT NOT TOLD TO ME. I JUST WAS GOING THROUGH THE PAPERS TODAY BECAUSE THE BBB SAID THEY CAN'T HANDLE MY PROBLEM. MDH 0826XX IS A SAFETY BULLETIN THAT EXTENDED THE COVERAGE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I STILL OWE ON THIS AND THE DEALER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THESE PARTS I PAID FOR SOME ALREADY BUT THIS I WON'T PAY FOR. WHY ISN'T RANDY WISE CHYRSLER RESPONSIBLE? ALL THESE SAFETY THINGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE THEY SOLD IT WITH TERRIBLE SAFETY DEFECTS THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF. YOU CAN'T DO ALL THE SUSPENSION WORK THEY DID AND NOT NOTICE A ROTTEN CRADLE!!! I AM MORE UPSET NOWTHAN I CAN EVEN SAY. I'M A 69 YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH A 72 YR OLD DISABLED HUSBAND!!

System failed was the throttle body, power (engine?) and brakes. I was unable to accelerate while going up a hill. When this happened the whole vehicle shut off which wouldn't allow me to push in the break pedal since I was still in drive. This could of caused us to be hit from the traffic following behind me. This put our lives at risk. Unknown, unsure what is being questioned as far as repeoducing a problem? It has failed my states safety inspection yesterday. I just purchased this vehicle a week ago. Warning lights were lightening bolt, abs light and traction control light.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW IT AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS BINDING, THE PEDAL DEPRESSES WHEN I'M DRIVING BUT FEELS LIKE IT HAS SOME KIND OF RESISTANCE. I'M NOT SURE IF IT MAY BE AN UNDERLYING ISSUE OR NOT BUT THIS IS BEST HOW IT CAN BE DESCRIBED.

The brake and ABS are on. Also there is a lightning bolt that appears on the cluster. The honk does not want to work as well and it is associated with the airbag since its installed with it in the center of the steering wheel.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OCCASIONALLY, THE HORN ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I'VE OWNED A 2010 JEEP COMPASS FOR TWO YEARS NOW. I USE IT AS A WORK VEHICLE. RECENTLY IT STARTED MAKING A VERY ROUGH SOUNDING NOISE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WOULD BE DEEP AND DISGRUNTLED AND THEN HIGH PITCHED ALMOST WHISTLING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTED SO BAD IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE. SO I STARTED LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR JEEPS. AND TO MAKE IT ALL WORSE JEEP SEEMS TO WANT TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S UNSAFE AND IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP, NO OTHER TIME.I DO NOT OVER FILL.AFTER LEAVING THE GAS PUMP, THE CAR "BUCKS" AND THEN STALLS ONE OR TWO TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC AS I TRY TO LEAVE A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR DRIVE IN THE TRAFFIC. CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS. STARTED IN 2017 AND CONTINUES TO TODAY.

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. STARTED WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE THEN IT STARTED DOING THIS AFTER FUELING THE CAR. HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEP COMPASS, AND OTHER MODELS LIKE THE COMPASS.

System failed was the throttle body, power (engine?) and brakes. I was unable to accelerate while going up a hill.

"TAMARA RECALL" WHERE I TOOK MY CAR THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO HESITATE ARE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP AND DOES IT UNTIL YOU REACH ABOUT 50 MILES A HOUR. THE MECHANIC CLEAN TRANSMISSION SCREENS AND CHANGE FLUIDS. STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

THE HEAD REST ON THE PASSENGER'S SEAT DEPLOYED WHILE SETTING IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT IN GREAT BEND, KS. THE PASSENGER WAS STRUCK IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH NO INJURY. THIS HAPPENED ON 7/25/17 AT ABOUT 10:30 A.M. THE CAR WAS IN PARK WITH THE AIR-CONDITIONER RUNNING. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. I HAD DIAGNOSTICS RUN ON THE VEHICLE BY MARMIE MOTORS IN GREAT BEND, KS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE SHOULDER BELT WEBBING FAILED TO RETRACT. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 13V233000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM , SEAT BELTS) AND WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE UNDER FOR THE RECALL REMEDY ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER PERFORMED A POINT CHECK INSPECTION HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING PARKED FOR 2 HOURS. NO KEY IN IGNITION. LOOKED OUT AND SAW FIRE COMING OUT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR. LIGHTING FIXTURE WAS COMPLETE BURNED OUT AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE OVE TO WHERE THE GAS TANK SPOUT IS. FIRE DEPT CAME. FILLED OUT A REPORT . THE HEAD LIGHTS AND OTHER LIGHTS INSIDE CAR KEPT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY EVEN AFTER THE FIRE WAS OUT. THERE WAS NO KEY IN IGNITION AND THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING PARKED FOR 2 HOURS.

WHEN IT RAINS AND THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THERE IS NO OBVIOUS SIGN OF A LEAK HOWEVER WHEN DRIVING AFTER THE RAIN A STEADY STREAM OF WATER COMES OUT OF THE MAP LIGHT. IT FLOWS ON TO THE RADIO AND HEATER CONTROLS. I AM VERY GOOD ABOUT KEEPING A PAPER TOWEL HANDY TO ABSORB AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. UNFORTUNATELY I NOW HAVE AN EXTREMELY WET CARPET THAT IS MOLDING. JEEP STATES THAT I SHOULD CLEAN THE DRAINS FOR THE SUNROOF, WHICH I DO QUITE OFTEN. THEY ALSO STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY CAN NOT OFFER A FIX WITH OUT CHARGING ME. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND I PURCHASED IT FROM A JEEP DEALER.

THE VEHICLE WAS HIT ON LEFT FRONT DOOR AND FRONT QUARTER PANEL PROPELLING IT INTO A PARKING LOT OVER A CURB. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW UPON IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED SEVERAL PEOPLE GOT SICK IN THE CAR OR JUST AFTER EXITING THE CAR. THIS LASTED FOR SIX THOUSAND MILES OVER THREE MONTHS PERIOD OF TIME. I PURCHASED A CARBON MONOXIDE TESTER BECAUSE HOW MANY PEOPLE GOT SICK. IT WENT OFF ON THE THIRD DAY OF IT BEING IN THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND AN EXHAUST LEAK THAT WAS OVER LOOKED BY THE FIRST DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAME AND RE-INSPECTED THE CAR AND PAID FOR THE OVERLOOKED EXHAUST LEAK DAMAGE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY ESTIMATOR SAID THE FRONT LEFT DOOR WAS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY AND NEEDED ADJUSTING. THE LEFT DOOR ALONG WITH BOTH UPPER AND LOWER HINGES WERE REPLACED RIGHT AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP THAT ORIGINALLY REPAIRED THE CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT THEN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE DOOR NEEDED MORE THAN ADJUSTING. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER LOWER HINGE AS THEY SAID IT WAS A "DEFECTIVE". THEY SAID IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE "WARRANTY". THE DOOR WAS MAKING POPPING SOUNDS. THE WHOLE DOOR WOULD DROP DOWN UPON OPENING IT. THE DEFECTIVE HINGE TWEAKED THE DOOR SO THAT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR THERE WAS A GAP. THE RUBBER WEATHER SEAL ALSO CAME LOOSE AS WELL AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE WEATHER STRIP CLIPS WOULD NOT HOLD IT AROUND THE DOOR PROPERLY. AT THE TOP OF THE DOOR WITH THE DEFECTIVE HINGE IT LOOKED AS THOUGH IT WAS CLOSED. THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED ALL THE WAY. I BELIEVE THIS GAP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WAS THE ENTRY POINT FOR THE CARBON MONOXIDE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE CAUSING MULTIPLE PERSONS TO BECOME ILL THAT WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING AFTER DRIVING AROUND 40 MILES. HAVE HAD THE CAR REALIGNED AND BOUGHT SEVERAL NEW TIRED GET THIS PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE HORN GOES OFF IN ITS OWN WHETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY, AND WITHOUT ANYONE PRESSING ON THE HORN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STATS ON EVEN AFTER TAKEN TO BE SERVICED. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
