MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE LEFT FRONT CROSS MEMBER THAT HAD RUSTED AND WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED FAILED AND FELL ON TO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE.LUCKILY SHE WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO SAFE STOP. IF SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE KILLED HER AS WELL AS OTHERS.I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM A AUTO SALES COMPANY. AFTER THE FAIL I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A EXTENDED (10) WARRANTY (IE X58) THAT WARNED OF THIS PROBLEM AND A FIX PROVIDED BY COMPANY. I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD HAS BEEN REPAIR BEFORE BEING SOLD TO ANYONE OR AT LEAST INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER REP THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA AND THEY HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR WAS IN UNITED STATES SO THE INFORMATION NEVER FOLLOWED THE CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR MAKE WAS IN SEPT OF 2006 EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007 ON TITLE AND THE WARRANTY GOES BY MAKE DAY SO MY CAR IS 6 MONTHS OUT OF A WARRANTY THAT I DID NOT KNOW EXISTED BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA. THE INFORMATION THAT THIS VEHICLE FRONT OR REAR SUSPENSION COULD FAIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE UTTER MOST CONCERN FOR SAFE BY THE CHRYSLER COMPANY OF CANADA AND NOT A I HOPE YOU GOT OUR LETTER THAT YOUR CAR MY KILL YOU OR YOU FAMILY AT ANYTIME FROM RUST FAILURE IN AROUND 10 YEARS OR SO AND WE KNOW IT !!! AS OF TODAY CHRYSLER HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ON WEATHER OR NOT THEY INTEND TO FIX THIS VEHICLE BUT THE FACT REMAIN THERE ARE MORE 2007 JEEP COMPASS OUT THERE THAT NEED TO BE WARNED THAT THE CANADA VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE COULD FAIL ANYTIME I`M SURE I`M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO PURCHASED A COMPASS FROM CANADA PLANT THAT IS NOW IN THE USA THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOLD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WHY I FEEL THERE SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEM FOR REPAIR IN STEAD OF HOPE YOU GOT OR LETTER. LOOK AT PICTURE!

DRIVING MY JEEP COMPASS AND THE FRONT END STARTED I THOUGHT IT HAD MY ROCKS UP IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM TOOK A MECHANIC AND HE BLEW EVERYTHING OUT THERE ALL THAT STUFF AND THEN IT STILL CAME BACK MAKING THE THUMPING TALKING NOISE LIKE WHEN YOU TURN TURN YOUR WHEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OR WHEN YOU BACKUP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT.

CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 23-012-14 FRONT AND REAR CROSS-MEMBER CORROSION . BY WHAT I READ IT SHOULD BE COVERED, BUT DEALERSHIP TOLD THE GIRLFRIEND THAT IT ISN'T ... THIS MEMBER IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH BUT THEY HAVE STATED IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DEATH IF FINAL FAILURE CAUSES A CRASH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE FRONT LEFT SIDE HAS COME APART 2 TIMES FROM THE BALL JOINT AND A FRAME. TODAY IT FELT AND SOUNDED THE SAME I TOOK IT IN TO A SHOP IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT THE FRONT TIRE COMING OF AGAIN. THE MECHANIC PUT IT UP ON THE LIFT AND CAME AND GOT ME. THE ENGINE CRADLE IS TOTALLY ROTTEN THIS IS WERE ALL OF YOUR FRONT END PART ARE HELD IN PLACE. THE SAID THING IS I STILL OWE 2 MORE YEARS ON THIS JEEP WHAT CAN I DO!!??.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

WHEN FILLED UP WITH FUEL, CAR STALLS OUT AND CUTS OFF. I HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THE BEARINGS AND CAR STILL MAKES A ROARING NOISE WITH THE AXLE. UPPER CONTROL ARMS ARE COMPLETELY DAMAGED. BATTERY LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING VACUUM HOSE ISSUE. 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT STAYS ON.

WHILE DRIVING, I STARTED HEARING SOME BUMPING UNDERNEATH MY COMPASS AND A DAY LATER IT KNOCK AND DRIVING ROUGH. I MADE IT TO WORK AND IMMEDIATELY CALL TOW. A DAY AFTER THE TOW, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY SUB FRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR TWO TEARS AND A FEW MONTHS, AND STILL PAYING FOR IT. I CONTACTED JEEP CORP. AND WAS TOLD THE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. MY FIDELITY WARRANTY STATES WHAT THEY COVER, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY TOLD ME THAT AFTER FIVE YEARS THEY DEEMS THE BAD TIE RODS AS WEAR & TEAR. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT WHEN I PURCHASED THE SERVICE CONTRACT. IF MY PRAYERS AREN'T HEARD, THEN I MUST PAY $2700 OUT OF MY POCKET.
