2008 Jeep Compass

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2008 JEEP COMPASS, PURCHASED VEHICLE AT THE END OF AUGUST 2017. I WAS JUST FORM ABOUT A MONTH AGO THAT MY SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED OUT AND HAD A WARRANTY ON IT FROM MY LOCAL MECHANIC. I HAVE THEN CONTACT SEVERAL JEEP DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS RECALL, HAVE CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT THIS RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY JEEP FIXED. I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY PHONE CALL EMAIL OR ANYTHING BY MAIL ABOUT THIS RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME AND ALIGNMENT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS BADLY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT AN INSPECTOR WOULD BE SENT OUT. THE CONTACT CALLED RYAN AUTO MALL (CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM) AT (763) 682-2424 (1000 HIGHWAY 55 EAST, BUFFALO, MN 55313) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN INSPECTION.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP COMPASS TOOK IT IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE,THERE WORDS NOT MINE,WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED AND NEEDED REPLACED! I DO ALOT OF TRAVELING TAKING MONTHLY TRIPS TO ALABAMA AND ALSO DELIVER CATERS FOR MY JOB. I OFTEN HAVE MY GRANDKIDS WITH ME AS WELL. I WENT ON LINE AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS THE SAME AS MINE! THIS ISSUE IS A DEATH TRAP AND JEEP MANUFACTURES SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT! THESE JEEPS ARE NOT EVEN 10YRS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING I AM POSTING MY PHOTOS OF MINE TO SHOW HOW BAD THIS SITUATION IS

NEW NEXXEN N5000 TIRES PLACED ON VEHICLE AND FRONT END ALIGNED. WITH IN 2 MONTHS TIRES SHOWED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR WITH WIRES SHOWING IN AREAS. SUBMITTED THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES UNDER WARRANTY FOR REPLACEMENTS. 3 MONTHS LATER AT AROUND 15,000 MILES REAR TIRE DEVELOPED KNOT/BUBBLE IN THE TIRE CAUSING THE CAR TO BOUNCE WHEN DRIVING. REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH DIFFERENT BRAND. I WILL NEVER BUY NEXXEN TIRES AGAIN.

ETC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON FOR NO REASON RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WHILE MERGING/ TURNING WHILE ACCELERATING, CAR IS USUALLY STATIONERY FIRST. THIS ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY. HOPEFULLY THIS HASNT KILLED SOMEONE ALREADY.
