The minute the front tires start to slip on any surface, I lose power in the engine, I don't have front wheel drive or 4x4. The 4x4 light comes on the dash with an exclamation point and flashes. It rear drive shaft doesn't engage. This makes my vehicle useless. The smallest amount of mud, snow or ice/slush-the vehicle just doesn't work. Its very dangerous to be driving when this happens! I've seen some jeep Cherokees being recalled for the PTU (power train unit), but that's only something with the computer system. This problem I'm experiencing makes me believe the PTU is no good, and if that's the case this is going to be at least a $2500 fix or more!! I am not the first owner on this vehicle, I think I'm the 2nd. Why doesn't Chrysler give a full powertrain warranty regardless of which owner you are?!

Ever since I bought this car the time on the dashboard has started changing on its own.Even after resetting it the time will slowly start changing on its own it still hasn’t been fixed since the service station doesn’t know what’s wrong and it’s too expensive for me to pay to have it taken apart. The airbag lights are constantly flashing go on and off as well as the tire pressure light even though the tire pressure is on the right setting. Most recently the belt under the hood has snapped this will be a second time, it has snapped with in a week of buying the new belt. I have had at least 3 recalls that I know of.Save your money and buy a Toyota.

I'M HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY 2015 JEEP COMPASS (50,000 MILES) NOT ONLY THAT, THE DEALERSHIP HAS EITHER NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT OR THEY DON'T WANT TO. IF I DIED, MY SON WOULD BE ORPHANED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING MY ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN. MY CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF, IT JUST WON'T DRIVE ANYMORE . THE ONLY LIGHT THAT COMES ON IS THE ESC ACTIVATION/MALFUNCTION. I HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO GET IT TO GO. IT HAS DONE THIS AT LEAST 10 TIMES NOW. I NEARLY GOT INTO A ACCIDENT TRYING TO TURN LEFT, AND AGAIN MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES HARD TO TURN AND I CAN PUT THE GAS PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN, IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE. NO RPMS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SCANNED FOUR TIMES AFTER IT HAS HAPPENED. I'VE BEEN A RENTAL CAR FOR THREE DAYS NOW. THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. AND THEY SAY THEY NEED TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO FIX IT. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

ALL ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STARTED GOING OUT, THEN CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 10 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN, THEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON THE MIDDLE OF A VERY HEAVILY TRAFFIC ROAD. POWER STEERING, ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND ENGINE REFUSED TO WORK. HAD TO HAVE THE COMPASS TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER AND PROBLEM WAS THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM WENT OUT. 4 MONTH OLD VEHICLE AND THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM FRIED. TOOK 6 DAYS TO GET IT REPLACED. NOW TWO MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. SAYS IT'S UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL BE FIXED, BUT DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE SEVER DANGER THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE PUTS MY FAMILY AND ME IN WHEN WE DRIVE IT WITHOUT KNOWING WHEN AND WHERE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WILL BLOW AGAIN. WHAT IF I WAS PULLING OUT OF AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN LIKE THIS AND MY FAMILY GETS HIT BY TRAFFIC. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
