2013 Jeep Compass Problems

This vehicle before had the cvt transmission replaced as it was over heating/inoperable. Complete replacement. Flash forward not even a year I was driving and thr transmission made a noise and basically locked up causing the driver to hit curb at high rate of speed along the freeway. The vehicle again is disabled with a transmission defect and requires replacement. 2nd transmission failure and will need replacement and caused injury during collision with curb at high rate of speed without any indication lights of a mechanical issue prior to impact.

The vehicle was taken in for a recall of the catalytic converters and PCM software, July 2019. May 2021, while driving at highway speeds the transmission temperature light illuminated and an un-commanded deceleration occurred to about 10 mph, it would go no faster got to the nearest off ramp and to a rest area sat for an hour, then the vehicle performed normally. May 13, 2021, took the vehicle to the repair facility no trouble codes were set but they replaced the transmission filler tube. A few days later the light illuminated again but no adverse driving conditions occurred. June 18, 2021, at highway speeds the vehicle decelerated to 10 mph a service engine light illuminated a transmission overtempt light also and made it home about ten miles at no more than 10mph, 19 aug 2022 drove the vehicle at a few mph to my local Jeep dealer for check engine and no power.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHTS TURN ON AND VEHICLE GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE CREATING THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE OVER 10MPH. WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE JEEP STALLS AND THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THESE SCENARIOS. HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE THE JEEP HAD 50,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED TO THE POINT THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AS OF JUNE 2020 (ISSUES BEGAN IN JAN 2019). EXTREME HESITATION HAS OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON AN ON-RAMP ALSO CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS TO NOT GET UP TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED TO SAFELY MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. CVT TRANSMISSION BEGAN OVERHEATING AT 55,000 MILES, ALSO CAUSING THE JEEP TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. *TR

Passenger seat headrest ejected itself. Outside of the car was getting a handwash and suddenly the headrest just shot open. Now nobody is able to sit in passenger seat safely. Unsure how this could happen as car was operating just fine prior.

While preparing to enter my car today (6/5/2022) I heard a fairly loud popping/exploding sound. I quickly backed away from the car then approached it again and realized the passenger headrest, though attached, had basically split in 2. Upon further inspection I couldn’t see why this had randomly happened as I didn’t have a passenger with me and hadn’t touched it. I tried to force it back together but couldn’t figure out how to get it to move so I left it as is. Later this evening I started searching online for how to fit it back together and it appears this happens frequently especially with jeeps and is a failure of a safety feature called active headrest. I went back out to look at it and saw exactly what I had seen other drivers mention, there’s 2 teeny tiny pieces of black plastic that apparently keep it from deploying and the right one had cracked. Just lucky that no one was sitting there at the time or that it wasn’t the driver headrest while driving - very unsafe, I can’t even believe a “safety feature” is approved when it’s only withheld by a piece of plastic so small you wouldn’t think twice about discarding it if you found it while opening a toy.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXTRA FORCE WAS NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE OUTER TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I BOUGHT THIS JEEP JUNE 25TH 2015. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES, AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM EVEN BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR FAX SHOWS WHERE IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED BACK ON APRIL 25, 2014. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT IT HAD TO HAVE TWO TIRES REPLACED ON 6/8/2015. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE CORRECTED. WORK ORDERS FROM 7/18/2015, 8/25/2015 AND 9/3/2015. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT I DO NOT DRIVE IT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. I FEEL ANY MOMENT I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE VEHICLE HAS SWIRLED TWO TIMES ON ME SO BAD THAT IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE WALL. IF I HAD NOT STOPPED THE VEHICLE FAST ENOUGH, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WALL. IF A CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY RIGHT, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SERVICE ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY.

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IN 09/11/2015 WITH MY REAR RIGHT CONTROL ARM THE RUBBER BUSHING GAVE OUT AND THE CONTROL ARM WAS SQUEAKING VERY LOUDLY, I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY GAVE ME A GOODWILL SERVICE CHARGE OF $100 BUT AFTER I ASKED IF THE CONTROL ARM ON THE LEFT ALSO WENT BAD WOULD THEY ALSO HONOR THE GOODWILL THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE MY PROBLEM. THE LEFT SIDE OF THE REAR CONTROL BUSHING HAS GONE BAD IN FEB OF 2016 NOW I HAVE TO FIX THIS THING. I KNOW THAT IF IT FAILS COMPLETELY I COULD HAVE A CONTROL PROBLEM. WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER JEEP AND ALL THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL BUT I KNOW THAT OTHER JEEPS ARE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. WOULD YOU PLEASE INTERVENE IN THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME [XXX] 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED, THERE WAS A SHORT BETWEEN THE WIRES WITHIN THE DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR POWER MIRROR WHICH CAUSED A FIRE AND THE MIRROR MOTOR MELTED. THE FLAMES WERE EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ENTERED BANK PARKING TO USE ATM MACHINE, AT THAT TIME WHEN STEPPED ON BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR, IT ACCELERATED LIKE SOMEONE WAS STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL. AT THAT TIME I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR BY SHIFTING INTO ANOTHER GEAR AND ALSO TRIED PULLING KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AT THAT TIME KNEW I HAD TO GET CAR STOPPED WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE, SO THERE WAS A WOODED AREA BEHIND BANK, I RAN CAR INTO AREA THAT HAD HUGE ROCKS WHICH I RAN OVER AND THEREFORE HIT A TREE HEAD ON TO STOP MY CAR. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT STILL CHARGE GEARS OR CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY (ANY OF THEM). NOT SURE IF THIS IS A BRAKE, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER, AIR BAG, OR A COMBINATION PROBLEM. *TR
