| Electronic Stability Control problems |
The tipm is failing caused me to stall at 70mph on a highway in traffic doors unlocked and then threw all electrical codes.
While driving the car it started pulling to the left and steering wheel was shaking. There was also a pound squealing noise. Pulled vehicle to the side of the road and noticed the driver side fron tire was leaning inwards. Looked under the vehicle and noticed the sub frame had rusted through and broke.
Takata recall it cut off on me at the light in traffic andit jerks when it pull I got everything fixed so they told me to get it checked I did its the computer malfunction.
Check engine light came on paid $800 dollars to resolve issues, I am still having problems with check engine light. A few sensors(oil, heating etc) were replaced, O2 sensors were replaced. I was told that it could be the vehicle's computer system. This is creating a very serious headache problem. I tried with numerous car repair shops and they don't seem to pinpoint the problem. They check the codes and their response is "it appears that this is whats wrong with it, but there is no warranty, that we can resolve the issues. Issues are happening while driving the vehicle is in motion.
Parking brake doesn't work and the stability of the vehicle is not good it wobbles around turns and I'm afraid the vehicle will roll one day. This unstable condition will happen on the city highway and city streets while in motion driving. I put on the parking brake and it does not stop the vehicle because I can drive if I forgot I put it on without any problems and I'll hear the beeping go off and put my parking brake on. I feel as if one day to school my vehicle will rock unstable and cause me to wreck even though I am very careful.
I bought this vehicle and put $423 into the front end replacing rotors, brakes, wheel bearings, hub assembly and control arm bushings only to take it to a garage to find out why it was still impossible to drive safely. I was told by two different garages that it isn't safe to drive because the struts and whole front end is damaged beyond repair that would cost more than the vehicle is worth. Also the car dealership has removed the airbags and now made it nonstickerable. You can't drive it without the vehicle feeling like the front end is gonna fall out and is unable to control the steering.
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.
Problems after fueling: after filling my vehicle up, without fail, the engine stalls, shuts off, violently jerks and/or decreases speed and then returns to regular driving conditions. I have changed the gas cap, gas stations and octane levels, as well as the amount of gas consumed, all without any resolve. Although I never tip off the gas tank, I will fill the gas tank and I experience erratic behavior without fail. It does not matter if I sit at the gas pump or drive away immediately, the vehicle will enter a distressing routine of jolting, and turning off. This has become a safety issue at times, the unpredictable behavior has happened in traffic while crossing busy intersections, driving down the highway as well as leaving the pump. If the vehicle is not in motion it will shut off completely. This occurs whether I'm still at the pump preparing to drive off, stopping at a stop sign, or while waiting traffic light. The jerking erratic behavior occurs anytime the vehicle is in motion. It does not matter if I'm going 5mph or 60mph. It always occurs withing 3 miles of filling up the vehicle. Time is not the remedy but rather distance as the vehicle my experience erratic behavior multiple times. This issue started 3 years ago and continues today. Please investigate this growing problem among Jeep vehicles to avoid future major accidents or fatalities. Concerned Jeep Compass owner.
While driving at about 35mph my car buck and almost stalled out. It seemed like it lost a little power after that. When I reached a stop sign approximately 1/2 mile down the road and attempted to accelerate, I had no power and could not break 10mph. My electronic throttle control indicator light is now flashing and the esp/tcs light is on steady. The only error code I am getting is for the #1 O2 señor because I damaged it taking it out to eliminate a clogged cadtilac converter. At times it takes 3 seconds for my car to even attempt to start (meaning nothing is happening). It has a rougher idle then it used to have.
I bought a 2007 Jeep Compass 11 months ago from lithia Chevrolet/Dodge/Jeep. It had 64,000 miles on it. In the 11 months that I have had the car the rack and pinion and steering pump have had to be replaced twice. At my expense. The ball joints have been replaced. My struts and brand new tires are destroyed. The whole bottom of the behicle feels like it is going to seperate from the frame. I started having these problems within 1 week of owning the vehicle. The dealership would not honor the warranty and would blow it off as me being "silly". The check engine light has been on 3 times and rather than fixing the car they just "reset" the engine light.
