2007 Jeep Compass 4X4

2007 JEEP COMPASS RALLYE EDITION WITH 37,000 MILES. THERE WAS A METALLIC CREAKING / CLUNK FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND HAD IT INSPECTED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC . BOTH LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE FOUND TO BE BAD WITH EXCESSIVE PLAY...BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED W/ NEW. ENGINE OIL PUMP ALSO FAILED @ APPROX 15,000 MILES AND CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER A MONTH OF WAITING.. *TR

2007 JEEP COMPASS WITH 38,200 MILES ON IT. HEARD CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AREA. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TIE RODS WERE BLOWN OUT AND VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. SO FAR JEEP HAS NOT RESPONDED TO A RECALL INQUIRY YET. I ONLY DO LIGHT DRIVING TO WORK, APPROX 4 MILES A DAY, NEVER HAVE TAKEN IT OFF ROADING. $615 REPAIR COSTS. *TR

TOOK CAR TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER PUTTING CAR ON THE LIFT HE USUALLY DOES AN INSPECTION, BRAKES, EXHAUST, TIRES , STEERING , ETC.WHEN CHECKING FOR PLAY ON THE FRONT WHEELS HE NOTICE A VERY DANGEROUS PLAY ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS, MORE SEVERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE DUE TO FAILING BALL JOINTS. CAR IS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS WITH 60,000 MILES. *TR

I BOUGHT MY JEEP COMPASS LESS THAN A YEAR AGO WITH 42,000 MILES. ITS NOW ABOUT 10 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE 46,000 MILES ON THIS JEEP (I.E. I DON'T DRIVE IT A TON) I HAVE DONE ZERO OFF ROADING AND I ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID POTHOLES AND BAD ROADS. TOOK IT IN TO INVESTIGATE SOME LOUD NOISES COMING FROM FRONT... ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BAD BALL JOINTS, OUTER TIE RODS ON BOTH SIDES IN THE FRONT, AND NEW BRAKES AND FRONT LEFT ROTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FIND THESE PROBLEMS TO BE ABSURD, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. ALL OF THIS COSTING OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. JEEP NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND CLEARLY RECALL THESE ISSUES. I AM NOT HAPPY AFTER READING ALL OF THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS OF OTHER JEEP COMPASS OWNERS; AND IT MAKES ME EVEN MORE UPSET TO LEARN THAT MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE RE-OCCURRING WITHIN 2-3 YRS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.. ORJEEP WILL BE LOSING MY BUSINESS IN THE FUTURE... THANKS! *TR

TOOK 2007 JEEP COMPASS IN FOR OIL CHANGE, MENTIONED RATTLING NOISE IN FRONT END. MECHANIC FOUND THAT BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS/BALL JOINTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. JEEP ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND GUESS WHAT WARRANTY EXPIRED! TOTAL REPAIR COSTS ~ 700 DOLLARS. NO RECALL AS OF YET, BUT THERE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING COUNTLESS OTHER COMPASS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2007 JEEP COMPASS ISSUES WITH BRAKES PADS, ROTOR SUSPENSION ,TIE RODS,BALL JOINT, STRUTS, SWAYBAR, SWINGBAR FULL FRONT SUSPENSION AND FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. STARTED OUT WITH BANGING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH STRUTS (38000 MILES). NOISE WAS STILL THERE, FOUND OUT THAT I NEEDED A RIGHT FRONT TIE ROD AND LOWER CONTROL ARM (45000 MILES) REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER I AM NOW HEARING SQUEAKING NOISES AND RATTLING. JUST FOUND OUT THAT I NOW HAVE TO HAVE THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM REPLACED. LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN, THE PROBLEMS THAT I AM HAVING ARE THE EXACT SAME. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! THE CAR IS UNDER 50,000 MILES (ALL HIGHWAY) AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE KINDS OF ISSUES. I HAVE NEVER RUN INTO THIS WITH ANY OTHER TYPE OF VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HE SEES ALOT OF THIS WITH THE COMPASS AND PATRIOT MODELS. JEEP USED CHEAPER PARTS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE AFFORDABLE. GREAT, EXCEPT THE CONSUMER WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AFTER THIS. I KNOW THAT I WON'T. THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO THIS AND HELP IT'S CUSTOMERS WITH THE REPAIR ISSUES. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM AND THEY ARE ALL IDENTICAL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES GOING ON HERE. I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN DO BUSINESS LIKE THIS. THANK YOU. *TR
